Range and Match News
Club member Harlan Glover held the first Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Silhouette Match on May 24th.
There was a good turn out and participants came from as far away as Clinton, Russellville and Perryville.
There a a few pictures from this match in the upper right hand corner of this page. This match is
scheduled for the 4th Saturday of every month at 11:00 AM and held on Range 1. Match fee's are $4.00
for members and $6.00 for non-members. For more info on this match you can check out the Learn
About Us tab or contact one of the match directors: Harlan Glover 501-607-4341Paul Montgomery 501-
605-7136 or visit the website at www.bpcr.net
Concealed Carry Class Planned.
We would like to hold another concealed carry license class this year. We need to have 12 people
signed up in order to hold the class. To get on the waiting list, please contact James Squires at
501-847-2147.
Please Observe All Range Rules.
If you observe anyone violating the club range and safety rules it is your duty as a member to inform them
of what they are doing wrong. Also make it point to read over the range rules and bylaws on a frequent
basis to keep them fresh in your mind so that another member does not have to let you know that you are
the one breaking the rules. Remember this is your range and it is up to you to keep it a safe and fun
place to shoot.
Make it a point to read Range Rules and the posted signs at each range every time you come to shoot.
This will make sure that you know what types of firearms may be used on which range. Also make a
check list and place it in your range/gun bag and look over it every time you get ready for a range trip.
This will insure that you do not show up at the range without all the proper gear. A few items that should
be at the top of your list:
• Safety glasses for everyone.
• Hearing protection for everyone.
• Targets (paper plates, notebook paper, etc.)
• Staple gun and extra staples.
• Sand bags, blankets, etc. for rifle rest.
• Ammo (I have loaded all my stuff up a few times before only to leave my bullets on the loading
bench)
• Coats, hats, etc. for the right time of year. You will find in the winter time it is always colder than you
might think.
• Water and snacks.
• Small tool kit to tighten that scope mount or grip screw that may comes loose.
This is just a small reminder list and forgetting any one of these items on your visit to the range could
make your trip less than enjoyable.
Once you have had your fun and are packing up to leave the range, take one extra look around and
make sure you have removed all targets, cans, etc. that you placed on the range. Make sure that you
have picked up all your trash to include your brass and steel cases. If you do not reload just place it in a
small pile on one of the benches and rest assured that someone else will use it.
Please make sure that you do not shoot the wooden upright post that the target boards are attached to.
These are not targets and are very hard to replace. If you are shooting a shotgun make sure that you are
considerate of others shooters that may shoot after you. The target boards are there for you to use and
your can pattern you shotgun on them but please do not shoot 50 rounds of buckshot and destroy the
targets boards. If you have any questions about what can and can not be done please contact one of the
club officers. You will find all contact info on the “Contact Us” tab just to the left on the navigation bar.
Someone has caused severe damage to some of the target board posts on the plinking range. Hidden,
motion-sensitive security cameras have been installed to find out who is doing this. James Squires once
again asks that shooters PLEASE stop shooting at the posts. If you need a practice target, contact
James and he’ll get you one.
