Taunton Rifle and Pistol Club

Primary range [13 bays, right turn from the entrance] uses cardboard backers as a standoff. Short version, the E-board was tired of re-welding target carriers which had been literally shot to pieces. Each round impacting a carrier also created spall.

It isn't difficult to detach the cardboard backers from the two clips mounted to each carrier, and flip it. Please re-mount the 'no targets below this line' sign' if you do this.

The cardboard backers are replaced regularly. The range currently gets heavy use through the weekend.

Roger that. Didn't think to flip it over.

Thanks
 
let's try this again -

There will be a work party at the outdoor range on Saturday, April 8, starting at 9 AM.

The spring cleaning is an opportunity to remove debris which have accumulated over the past several months.

If at all possible, please show up and support your club.
 
Good morning all.

At Sunday's meeting, range access times were changed. Now, your cards will unlock the gate at 9AM Monday - Saturday, and at 10AM on Sunday.
Previously cards would unlock the gate up to 59 minutes early. This has been changed due to people shooting early.

I will edit this in an hour to show the obvious, black and orange sign stating range hours.

Hope to see you all on Saturday.

I just sent my application and the waiting time is 4 months to have my application reviewed and voted on. I never thought it would be that long. Application was sent mid April. I wish I had know how long the wait was. Maybe the website can reflect that current applicants have a 4 month waiting period?

Things here seem a bit dead - I sincerely hope that is because everyone is thrilled with the club.

Steel plate shoot this Sunday. Setup at 9, first shots at 10. If you're new, please don't be intimidated. It is fun.

FYI: Fall Trap League sign ups are going on. $25 entry fee, covers awards and cookout at the end, you still have to pay $3.00 for your round. The league runs for 10 weeks assuming 2 rounds per week, you can shoot more than 2 if your going to miss a week or need to catch up etc. 5 person teams based on ability, all teams have a #1-#5 shooter to keep things fair (Last time the lowest score you get was 17, not sure this time). I did this league with the wife with both of us being new to trap, it was a lot of fun with a great group of people; you will learn a lot and get better in a hurry if your a new shooter. Come on out Sunday and sign up, the sheet is inside the outdoor trap house.

Any / all shooters with a .38 Super, comped race gun will face a rack of 9 plates.
 
There will be a work party at the indoor range Thursday, September 14 starting at 10 AM.

The goal of this effort is to send out annual dues notices and the club news letter.

All media are folded, so this is essentially an effort in stuffing envelopes. If you feel capable of lifting two pieces of paper and putting them into an envelope, and wish to support your club, please help. There are 3,350 pieces of mail to prepare.

subbed. I what to start getting into long range shooting. The plan is to get a ruger precision rifle in .308, but I keep thinking about 6.5 creedmoor.
Click to expand...

I shot my friends RPR in .308 a few weeks ago. Fun knocking 16 oz Aluminum cans down at 300 yds. Having said that. I bought my first non MILSURP centerfire bolt gun recently in 6.5 CM. Either is a great choice IMHO. If they had the Savage I bought in .308 it would have been a tough decision.
 
Hello. I recently got my LTC class A over the summer. I am a senior at Bridgewater State. I am from Falmouth but there are no gun ranges around there that i can join so i am very interested in joining this range. Its a hike from falmouth but i love shooting so its totally worth it for me. The application requires me to have a sponsor so if anyone would like to sponsor me please let me know. Reply if you would like to know more about me before agreeing. I can see how randomly sponsoring someone you dont know might be weird but im sure we can work around that. Thank you!
