We've had a few members ask what the on
gong range
work is for . . .
We have received this year's NRA range grant in the amount of $32,000.
This amount added to what we already have allows us to proceed with the MAIN
project.
We are going to install multiple pull down NRA target systems at
the 600 yard line. This is a $60,000 range improvement that will allow
us to hold NRA sanctioned 600 yard long range rifle matches. It is the
building of a below ground concrete structure that holds the target
systems where the score keepers sit below ground level while shooters compete.
The NRA has strong interest in this improvement.
While there are other ranges around,
none are built to NRA specifications, like the Ridgecrest
Gun Range. The range designers have attended NRA range development
classes at their own expense to have the knowledge to build a range to NRA
specs.
After it is done, you'll hear about NRA matches in the near future.
When this target work starts, the RIFLE range will be closed for about 2 weeks.
This is a BIG job.
However, the 100 yard PISTOL range will be open most of the time during this
construction.
So, please be patient over the next few weeks. This is a major improvement.
We'll get it done as quickly as
possible, and limit range closures as much as we can.
Thanks for your understanding. And be excited. This is great!

~~~ALERT~~~
We have been having a few problems ...
1. We have been experiencing some vandalism recently.
Someone has been shooting range informational signs on the pistol range.
THESE RANGE SIGNS ARE NOT
TARGETS.
Many of these signs are there in accordance with the range county permit. If you shoot them, we have to BUY new ones and replace them. The cost takes away from money we need to keep the range going.
Range POLICY: If you get caught intentionally destroying the range in any way,
or shooting your guns in a manner that your bullets ricochet off the floor of
the range, you will get rejected from the range.
2. Cross range shooting: This is when a shooter may start shooting say the 300
yard targets, and then decides to shoot the 100 yard targets, from the same 300
yard position on the firing line. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT ALLOWED. The range
side berms are only about 10' high, while the down range berms are 20' high. So,
when you shoot cross range towards side berms, the rounds easily go over the
berm and off the range. This can get us shut down. This needs to stop NOW!
3. Shooters setting up their own targets, without making sure the bullets will
impact a down range berm, before hitting the floor of the range, or even going
over the top of the berm. Position your targets so bullets impact a BERM. Range
POLICY: If you get caught intentionally destroying the range in any way, or
shooting your guns in a manner that your bullets ricochet off the floor of the
range, you will get permanently rejected from the range.
Everyone needs to know that if you are caught violating the range rules, your
membership will be immediately revoked with no refund. The above violations are
DANGEROUS. STOP NOW! If you see someone doing these violations, get their
license number, and description if you can, and call it in to GUNS4US at
760-375-1004. We'll then try and contact them to fix the problem.
As always, think before you shoot in a way that is dangerous.
