Outdoor
Firing Ranges

|
|
50/100 Yards Firing Range
A completely covered concrete slab
extending the 150 yard length of the common 50
and 100 yard firing lines with stable concrete
shooting benches. Complete projectile, and rainwater
containment. Portable target frames and fixed
target carriers allow shooting at the 25, 50,
and 100 yards. A qualified Range Officer must
be on duty whenever firing occurs on all outdoor
ranges. Shooting is available only during daylight
hours.

Shotgun Range

Five-Stand
Up to five shooters take position in a set of
plastic pipe shooting stands. Birds may be thrown
from any of 8 traps. There are crossing birds,
incoming birds, outbound birds, and a teal
that flies a parabolic trajectory. The trapper
may throw a predetermined menu of birds or the
shooters may call out what they want thrown. The
sequence is generally for each shooter in the
squad in turn to fire a single, a report pair,
and a true pair. (A true pair shot has two birds
thrown simultaneously from two different traps.)
After 5 thrown birds, shooters rotate to the right
and repeat the sequence until 25 rounds have been
fired. This is our most challenging game.

The 50 and 100 yards ranges feature a completely
covered concrete slab shooting area running the
full length of the two ranges with stable concrete
shooting benches.

The 50 foot Indoor Firing Range
has 10 firing positions, motor-driven target carriers,
complete projectile and residue containment, variable
lighting, radiant strip heating and state-of-the-art
Detroit Armor backstop. Firing positions are separated
by lane dividers at the firing line and sound
absorbing materials are liberally used to minimize
noise to the shooters, the clubhouse proper, and
surrounding areas. This excellent facility is
open for members' use 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week.
