50-Yard Range

Covered Pistol, Rifle, and Handgun Range

50-Yard Range

The club’s 50-yard range offers covered shooting stations for pistol, rifle, and handgun practice at mid-range distances. Like the 25-yard range, the pavilion and benches are fully covered for year-round use in all weather conditions. Shotgun slug shooters also use this range.

Covered pavilion and range house at the 50-yard range

A green-roofed pavilion runs along the firing line with picnic tables and benches for shooters and spectators. The adjacent range house provides storage and support space, with the wooded property stretching out behind the facility.

Downrange view toward the 50-yard backstop berm

Looking downrange from the covered firing line, the open grassy field slopes gently toward a vegetated backstop berm. Numbered target positions and lane markers line the range, with a range house and equipment shed visible along the right side.

Range Rules

All shooters must follow the club range rules. Summaries below are provided for convenience — the complete rules are in the Orientation Package and Rule Book on the Members Only page.

General Safety

  • No alcohol — do not use any range after consuming alcohol that day.
  • The first member on a range acts as Range Officer and must designate a replacement before leaving.
  • Ring the bell before using a range during hunting season.
  • Carry your membership card while on club property and any range.
  • Wear eye protection during all shooting activities; wear hearing protection when the line is hot.
  • Clean up brass, hulls, targets, and debris before you leave.
  • Members are responsible for guests (up to four guests without board approval).
  • Range hours: Monday–Saturday 8:00 AM to sunset; Sunday 9:00 AM to sunset.
  • Obey RANGE CLOSED signs on the main gate — no shooting until the sign is removed.
  • No fully automatic weapons or devices that simulate automatic fire (e.g., bump stocks).

Rifle and Pistol Ranges

  • When the line is cold, firearms stay unloaded with actions open and magazines removed.
  • Firearms may be loaded only after the Range Officer declares the line hot.
  • No firearm handling while anyone is downrange.
  • Use paper targets (or approved clays) placed at least one foot from posts; shoot only into the berm impact area.
  • No improvised targets such as cans, glass bottles, steel plates, or appliances.
  • No hip draw or draw-and-shoot; holstered handguns must be unloaded while holstered.
