New Pistol-Only Ranges OPEN!

The two new ranges that were constructed to the east of the Club House are now open.  This event has been delayed for too long by the reluctance of the grass to establish itself properly.  The Executive Committee has decided we cannot wait any longer, and the grass that is there will have to be sufficient.

These ranges will be named the ÔÇ£PistolÔÇæOnly RangesÔÇØ.

The Executive Committee has passed a resolution on rules to cover those ranges, as follows:

• A new Rule 2.6 is inserted (causing all following rules within Section 2 to be renumbered):

2.6        Pistol-Only Ranges

2.6.1     The PistolÔÇæOnly Ranges are established on the property east of the Club House, firing east.

2.6.2     The firing points for these ranges are on the concrete pad, behind the red line painted to permit shooting benches to be placed in front of the shooters.  Shooters may establish a temporary firing line forward of the permanent firing line (separately for each range), but must move back to the permanent firing line if any other shooter wishes to use the range from the permanent firing line.  Shooters may not establish a firing line behind the permanent firing line.

2.6.3     Paper targets are the only permitted targets for use on these ranges.  Bottles, cans, and other “garbage” targets may not be used on this range.  Steel targets may not be used on these ranges.

2.6.4     This range is exclusively intended for pistol (handgun) shooting.  Pistols chambered for typical rifle calibers (for example, .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, etc.) may not be used.

2.6.5     Drawing from a holster while on the concrete pad is strictly prohibited.

2.6.6     Shooting while moving on this range is strictly prohibited.

• A new bullet point has been added to the end of Rule 5.3.5 to cover qualification for the PistolÔÇæOnly Ranges:

Qualification for the 25 Meter Range with a pistol is the qualification to be able to shoot on the PistolÔÇæOnly Ranges.
