California Wheel Burners    

Action Revolver Club

Has shooting your wheel gun lost its thrill? . . .
Come and shoot with us!


Welcome to the home page of the California Wheel Burners. We are an active ICORE affiliated shooting club that hold 3 monthly matches in the Piru area.

Club events are open to all - you don't have to be a member to shoot with us. Loaner gear and guns can be available if you need them. Our informal matches are strictly for fun and personal satisfaction. We're a relaxed and sociable group and always happy to welcome a new shooter!

On the 1st Saturday we have a 6-stage rimfire steel event with handguns and rifles. On the 2nd Saturday we hold a ICORE revolver match that typically features 5 individual stages of steel, paper and action targets. On the 4th Saturday we feature a special fun match that may consist of autopistols, shotguns, a combination of rifle, shotgun, or pistol or other shooting as the members request.

Upcoming Events and Notices


Several Wheel Burners got up early in the morning to show our club colors at the Interclub Match in Pala on Sunday, 8 August. Click the link above to see the results.

September 11 ICORE Revolver Match

We will shoot the ICORE Postal Match at our regular second Saturday revolver match. 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 active this time of year. Our rodent population attracts them so we need to be extra alert. 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.

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.
