Indoor Airgun/MQP Wednesdays 6 to 8PM

If you do not have an air gun, we have loaners for you (or your guests) to try free of charge.
We are looking to make this an every-Wednesday-evening thing all winter, until we can get back out on the rifle range in April-May.

We intend to use standard NRA 10 meter airgun targets and, for the BB gun shooters, we’ll have standard 5 meter BB gun targets, too. There will be a nominal charge for targets.
The NRA has Marksmanship Qualification Programs – with patches – for airgun and BB gun.
We intend to make it possible for people to work their way through these Marksmanship Qualification Programs.

The rules for the range apply at all times and are:
- The indoor range is limited to airguns and archery equipment only. Absolutely no firearms are allowed in the indoor range. Certain high-powered airguns may be disallowed at the discretion of the Indoor Range Committee. We do have some archery equipment suitable for children up to about age 10, and we have a couple of air rifles as well.
- Eye protection is required. Hearing protection may be required when certain air guns are in use.
- We observe social distancing, and will limit the number of people allowed in the range. If you are feeling ill, please come back another time. We owe it to our fellow club members to keep them safe.
- If you can’t make it Wednesday evenings but are interested in using the indoor range at other times, please contact one of our Indoor Range Committee Members. If there is sufficient interest, we will try to schedule other regular events on this range. We put a lot of effort into building it, and it needs to be used.
