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.

Reminder – Work Party

No shooting is permitted at the range on Saturday May 3rd starting at 0830 am because people and equipment will be working on the various range venues doing clean-up and maintenance.

General access by members can resume once the work crews are finished – probably by 2:00 pm.

Thank you for your understanding.
