Public Shooter's Range Use: The biggest cost of everything we do to provide a safe environment for public shooter's is thePublic Shooters requirement for providing Safety Officers and Instructors along with the general cost of range upkeep. For 2018 we had 556 public shooters use our ranges on the weekends from Memorial Day until the end of October. For those week-ends we provided 121 Member Safety Officers. During the week-days for the year we had an additional 150 public shooters use the ranges. Our goal is to build an additional 12 pistol bays for the organization which will accommodate an addition 100% range availability. We anticipate that with that addition, we will provide training for an additional 300 public shooters.

Competition Matches: The Match attendees include shooters from our Membership, Public, and juniors. We provide the range up-keep, targets, stands, Match Director, Safety Officers and Instructors for all of these Matches during the year. We held 36 Matches for 2018 which includes approximately 570 shooters. Approximately 150 of these shooters were new to the specific match and were trained in the specifics. The types of matches held were: Mid-Range Prone Hi-Power, Across-the-Course Hi-Pwr, .22 Rimfire Rifle bench Rest, Steel Challenge, and International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA). We met our goal of shooter participation in all of the Rimfire and Pistol Matches but not in the Hi-Power Rifle Matches. We expect the public participation to continue to increase in the Pistol and Rimfire Matches, but nation-wide, the Hi-Power shooting is on the decline.
