Spring Updates

An energetic group was busy last week end cleaning up the range, picking up garbage, installing new target boards and targets, fixing tables, building steps, picking up brass, welding broken metal targets and cutting brush. A few days earlier, clangers were repaired on the rifle range. Thank you to all those individuals who continue to give their time and energy into making the WRPC a great place to enjoy the sport of shooting.

The schedule of shooting events is posted on the web calendar. Additional activities will be added once dates are confirmed.
