WILLIAMS, Ariz. — The members of the Williams Sportsman’s Club (WSC) recently finished construction of two new pistol shooting stands at the Williams Shooting Range.

Materials for the project were donated by area residents and club members, with the labor volunteered by members.

 “These pistol shooting stands are but just the latest in repairs, ongoing maintenance, and substantial improvements performed by club members at the shooting range,” said WSC President Keith Heimes.

The WSC operates the shooting range located on State Route 64, just north of Interstate 40.

The shooting range operates under a special use permit issued by the Kaibab National Forest to the city of Williams. Range users include the public, various local law enforcement agencies and occasional U.S. military units.

 The club also operates a sporting clays shotgun range in Garland Prairie.

 The shooting range is open for members’ use 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday, Saturday and the first and third Sundays of each month.

The public is invited to visit and may shoot once for a requested $5 donation, while full access is available for a nominal membership fee. The WSC encourages those interested in the Williams rifle and pistol range or the shotgun sporting clays events to visit their website at http://www.williamssportsmansclub.
