THE SIERRA DESERT GUN CLUB

The SDGC held our Basic Rifle Marksmanship School on Sunday afternoon, January 27, 2008. We lost the ability to hold this school in 1991 when the Navy constructed a new hanger in line with our range, and our range and club house on the station were shut down for good. We are now ready to offer this annual event on our new range, although on a smaller scale than before, since we will have to limit our student number to 20 as opposed to the 50 that we could handle before.

The SGDC Range is now OPEN!!

The Sierra Desert Gun Club’s shooting range is now in operation.

Some of the work done

Target anchors were placed for conventional NRA paper pistol targets at 25 yards and 50 yards.

Twelve target racks, each accommodating 10 targets, were installed on the small-bore rifle metallic silhouette range. These were installed at 40 meters, 60 meters, 77 meters and 100 meters. The course of fire includes chickens at 40 meters, pigs at 60 meters, turkeys at 77 meters and rams at 100 meters.

An NRA Foundation grant was used to construct a concrete firing line pad 12 feet wide by 182 feet long. The firing line is be covered by a wood shade structure designed to withstand 90 mile per hour winds. The range is now open on Saturday mornings from 8:00 until 11:00, with a SDGC certified range master in control. Qualified SDGC members may use the range at other unscheduled times.

The SGDC Range is still a work in progress

Here some of the members are toiling at necessary tasks.
