THE RIDGECREST
GUN RANGE
ASSOCIATION
APPLESEED PROJECT
On October 25th and 26th, 2008, members of
the Appleseed Project held a second two day training session and shoot at the
RGRA Range. It was an interesting and
informative class with early American history stressed as much as the
marksmanship.
To read their comments about the range and the experience go to http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=2597.0
There are more photos there, too.
We expect these ladies and gentlemen will return next year
for another class, they will invite you to participate.
Go to http://www.appleseedinfo.org/ for more information.

Firing Line
The Public Range consists
of 3 separate ranges:
100 yard
range.
600 yard rifle/shotgun range.
300 yard rifle range.
Targets are now installed at the 400 and 500 yard ranges.
Steel targets are in place at 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400,
500, and 600 yards.
The Firing Lines are concrete slabs, with concrete benches
or holes to set up shooting benches.
The Range is available for individual shooting
or to rent for club or community shooting competitions.
The Firing lines are covered for shade.
PLEASE NOTE
The RGRA Board has reviewed the gate
policy and has established the following guidelines to be observed when anyone
is inside the range shooting:
The gate should be closed while people are using the facility,unless a down
range club has the gate open for a match.
The chain should be wrapped around gates with locked hooked in the chains to
keep gates from swinging open in windy conditions, but the lock should be left
in unlocked with the gate combo set back to all zeros, or some number
other than the real combo.
The
gate should NOT be locked securely while people are inside.
OUR REASONING for leaving gate unlocked - If
someone inside was injured or ill, and called for help on a cell phone, and the
gate was locked emergency personnel would not be able to get into the range to
help them.
If you happen to be there and discover someone already on the range did not
secure the gate and lock appropriately, please - with respect and courtesy -
inform them about this new policy.

a member and shoot at the range
from dawn
to dusk.
