2025 Range Day

The SJRGC held its first integrated Range Day event this year. We had over 25 participants and onlookers attend. The Board would like to thank all those who attended. Overall the event went extremely well and the feedback has been positive.  And yes, we have learned some lessons!

We would like to thank representatives from the Archery group for coming, setting up a demonstration  and encouraging all to have a try at archery.

Organization of such an event takes a lot of work. Many people in all of the different fields were involved; however, Evan Kearley took on organizing both rifle and pistol events and compiling the scores. Thank you Evan!  Special thanks also to the Range/Safety Officers and those who prepared, cooked or provided food.

Most important of all was the sportspersonship and comradery that was evident throughout the day.

On June 7th we will celebrate National Range Day by having a club member shoot involving trap, sporting clays, rifle and pistol. We are using ALL the ranges that day (IPSC Black Badge course on A), so the ranges will not be available for general usage on that day.  

Most of the details were sent out by email to all members. Note that rifle will be shot on Range B using the 50, 100 and 200 stands. 

Archery will set up a demonstration event. 

We need a better idea of numbers of members who will come to participate or watch. Lunch will be provided. Fee is $30 active participants and $10 for those who only have lunch. 

Provided below is a link to Practiscore - software for setting up and scoring matches. Those who shoot pistol will recognize it. IPSC and Steel Challenge at the Club use it routinely.  To register via Practiscore you need to "join" it. It does not bombard you with emails. You need to log on to it to register for matches.  Please either register by Practiscore, or send an email to the club email address.
