Archery Range

The archery range is undergoing some major renovations. While this is taking place it will require it to be closed at times. We are not allowing the use of broadhead arrows on any of the targets at this time while those target blocks are removed. Your patience is requested while the work is being done. I’m sure if you are an archer you will be pleased with the end results. If you are unsure of the range status please contact Ron Ayres or John Spiewak. REMEMBER NO BROADHEADS AT THIS TIME

Pistol Range

We will be working on pistol range installing the pockets for the 25yd backers. This will allow for 12 or more lanes of shooting at that distance. This is all in preparation for our upcoming pistol shoot which will be scheduled as soon as the range work is complete. We hope to have the same number of lanes installed at 15yds as well. Again we ask for your patience as the work being done as it will require the range to be closed for short periods of time. It is difficult to inform everyone of when these closures will take place since it’s based on volunteer schedules and the weather as well. Anyone planning on using the pistol range is asked to contact Ron Ayres before heading down to make sure it is open for shooting. All work shall be completed as soon as possible and an announcement will be made at that time. Those wishing to help are asked to contact Ron Ayres so we can get it done as quickly as possible.

Trap and Skeet

This year’s Trap and Skeet seasons will be starting on April 6th for the annual McGrory awards season. Those wishing to participate must be a member of SCSC and also have 12 scores registered in order to be eligible. Shooting is every Wednesday for both Trap and Skeet. Trap is also shot on Friday nights along with Skeet on Sunday mornings. $3 per round for members and $4 for non-members.

Come on out and enjoy the shooting as well as meet new friends who are more than willing to help new shooters with tips and advice.

NRA Rifle Instructor Class

We will be having a NRA Rifle instructor’s class on April 9th & 10th. Those wishing to participate should contact Ron Ayres

Range Rules

Please always remember the 3 rules of safe gun handling.

1. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

2. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL READY TO SHOOT.

3.ALWAYS KEEP THE FIREARM UNLOADED UNTIL READY TO USE.

Also remember to have your range badge on you when using the club’s ranges.

Pick up your brass and place in the buckets and throw targets in trash cans provided.

Remember the 2 guests per membership rule.

Follow Range rules and operating procedures or risk losing your range privileges.

If you are unsure of any rule then please ask before shooting.

Asking to take part in a refresher Range Safety Class is recommended and encouraged.

Ear & Eye Protection is MANDATORY while on the range. NO exceptions.

Members must have a valid SCSC Range Badge to use the ranges and must be visible at all times to other shooters on the ranges.

A member is only allowed 2 guests on the range at once. Others must remain off the firing line. A member is the Club member, not the member's spouse (which is counted as one of the guests).

When shooting the new reactive targets on the pistol range Absolutely no HOLLOW POINT ammunition is to be used.

Anyone caught using hollow point ammunition on these targets will lose their range privileges and possibly their club membership.

Hollow points destroy the targets and this is considered destruction of club property and will not be tolerated. Pictures show the damage caused by using the wrong ammunition. Only round nosed bullets are allowed to be used on these targets.

Please pick up all your brass and deposit in the buckets. Remove your targets and place in the trash cans.
