Our usual first Saturday rimfire steel match has been moved to the 18th to avoid a conflict with the 4th of July. 22 Pistol and 22 Rifle. Six stages (3 each pistol and rifle) consisting of steel targets set up Steel Challenge style. Five plates for pistol and six for rifle. More details about our rimfire steel can be found on the Rimfire Match Info page. Bring at least 250 rounds of 22 ammo. Holsters not necessary. All actions welcome though bolt and single actions may become tedious because of the high round count. Open to all who wish to attend. Start time is 9:00am and cost is $20. If you don't have everything required we can arrange to share. Please arrive a little early and help complete setup.

Open to all who wish to attend. Cost is $20 for members, $25 nonmembers. First time attendees shoot for only $10 and there's a ton of introductory information on our New Shooter Info and Revolver Match Info pages. Start time is 9:00AM, please arrive a little early and help complete setup. If you don't have everything required we can arrange to share.

Rattlesnakes are more active as temperatures increase. Pay attention and be extra careful when looking in the sheds and especially around the range equipment and brush at the bay perimeters. Click on the link to see a photo of one that Big John handled for us last year.

Wheel Burners members are entitled to use our ranges and equipment at any time, but if you come and shoot you are obligated to pay the daily use fee just like our club does for our matches. If you shoot on a non-match day, please stop at the rifle range and sign the "Private Club" sheet and leave the money ($8 per shooter) in the drawer. Before leaving the Wheel Burners range, please return all targets back to their original location and lay steel down flat. Steel targets that are left standing can become a tempting target to rifle shooters outside our range. Once punctured or dented by a rifle caliber, the steel can't be used for handgun events. Remember, no centerfire rifles are allowed on the Wheel Burners range because we face south toward Route 126. We have been asked to be more proactive in raking up expended brass and lead to prevent migration to the creek bed. Buckets are being provided to collect range brass for recycling. Please place all empty water bottles and other trash in a container, or better yet, take it away from the range because if you leave it, then someone else has to handle it.

A reminder that we'll be taking club memberships at $35 per each, or $55 for a family (2 or more). Memberships help us handle our up front costs for range lease and insurance. In exchange, members pay $5 less per monthly revolver match fees than non-members. Due to minor growth in our expenses we are raising the Rimfire Steel fees to $20, effective at the April match. For now, we are keeping the annual membership fees for 2009 the same as last year.
