Sat Oct 18th The Last Ladies NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation for the Year

Ladies, if you have wanted to learn how to shoot a handgun, this is the first step to take.  This one day class is conducted by our NRA Certified Instructors and is designed to provide ladies training with one particular firearm whether they own one or not.  The course starts at 8 AM in the conference room at the Ramada Hotel, 950 N Grand Canyon Blvd., breaks for lunch, and then meets again 1 PM at the Range for live fire exercises, ending at 3:30 PM.  Lessons include pistol safety, parts and orientation, ammunition, the fundamentals of shooting, cleaning, storage and more.  Students will receive a handbook, safety rules, and a completion certificate.  The cost of the course will be $20.  Class size is limited so register ASAP.

Sat Oct 25th Steel Challenge Shoot – Adult Version Carnival Gallery Shoot! 

What’s not to like?  This fun shooting course is open to pistols, pistol caliber carbines, and regular carbines but those are limited to .223, 6mm ARC, .30 carbine and such.  No 7.62X39mm, .300 Blackout, .30-30, etc. permitted as the targets can’t handle those larger bullet weights and velocities. 

Recruit a Member All WSC members are encouraged to spread the good word about all the shooting sports activities and the improvements made to our range facility.  You are free to forward our monthly newsletters to those like-minded individuals who are not yet members.

Range Safety Officers – We’re Busy at the Range!  

On the weekends the range has been busy so if your calendar was full when the range sign up calendar first came out and a date didn’t work out for you at that time, consider this.  On the weekends – and usuaully Saturdays – more than one RSO covering the range is really nice due to the amount of shooters who come out.  So as time goes on and you find an opportunity, just come out and help a fellow RSO.  I know they will appreciate you showing up as I’m sure you would!  And some more important items for you all –

  • Yes we know a few of you are spread thin because of family responsibilities, work demands, working the Range and Sporting Clays, and your ongoing dedication to additional shooting sports activities.  We hear you loud and clear!  This is totally understood and appreciated so no worries. 
  • A big Thank You! to our summer RSOs who play a major role in ensuring the range is open and run safely!  You cover our local RSOs when they go on vacation.
  • Where’s the Beef?  The range cattle are back so the Range entry gate must be kept closed.
  • See something that needs fixing?  In the RSO white binder there is a section devoted to “Range Maintence” write ups.  Just make note the things you see need fixing and the range crew will take it from there.
  • Warren always needs help with Sporting Clays so if you volunteer to assist this qualifies as Range Duty fulfillment.  If able (909) 816-1144 or warrenweir6@gmail.com
