Safety and responsible gun handling are core principles of the club. Members wishing to use the rifle and pistol ranges will be required to successfully complete a range safety certification course and demonstration of firearm safety and range safety protocols.
The Club also offers a variety of educational and training opportunities for members and non-members. These include:

Many of these offerings are available for youth and adults. All courses are led by qualified member instructors. Members new to shooting can request assistance and guidance from one of our Range Safety Officers.
