January 28 - Range Clean Up

Our club has an extensive array of range equipment and over the course of the year the use of it results in things becoming a bit disorganized. That makes stage setup, a difficult task at best even more so. The clean up should only take a few hours assuming good turnout. Remember our club is non-profit and every match you shoot has taken several hours of volunteer effort to setup. Please come out and show your appreciation for their efforts by attending this once a year cleanup. We also plan to repair the composition roof on the awning that was damaged by the big winds. Thanks to Rhonda and Joe for donating the materials. If your good with such things please bring your tools. A lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, beans and drinks will be provided. If you plan to attend please send an email to Ron J. so he'll be sure to get enough food. See the BOD page to contact Ron. Start time of 9:00am.

January 28 - Special Match

There will be a few steel stages set up after the range clean up just so the day isn't all work and no play.

February 4 Rimfire Match

Our normal rimfire steel match for 22 Pistol and 22 Rifle. Up to eight stages (3 or 4 each pistol and rifle) consisting of steel targets set up Steel Challenge style. Five plates for pistol and rifle (rifle shot at a longer distance than handgun). 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 be challenging because of the high round count. Open to all who wish to attend. Start time of 9:00am. Sign-ups and shooters meeting at 8:30am. Cost is $20 for members and $25 for others. Please see the note below for membership information. Juniors are $5 if members and $10 if not. If you don't have everything required we can arrange to share. Please arrive a little early and help complete setup.

February 11 ICORE Revolver Match

Our normal second Saturday revolver match. Open to all who wish to attend. Centerfire pistols are also welcome. Cost is $20 for members, $25 nonmembers. Please see the note below regarding membership information. First time attendees shoot for only $10. There's a ton of introductory information on our New Shooter Info and Revolver Match Info pages. Standard 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.

A reminder that we'll be taking club memberships at $40 per each, or $60 for a family (2 or more). This year we have 2 levels of annual membership to allow our members to choose to shoot only 2 of the 3 monthly events, or to shoot all the monthly events at the member fee. Please follow the link above to see the membership fees. 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.

Range Use Etiquette Reminder

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.
