Member Involvement

Club Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 PM

We are a working club in order to keep our dues very affordable. Our hosting of public shoots support the club. Therefore as a member you are expected to help out with activities 4 times a year.

Since our property now lies within the city boundaries of Winterset any shooting done at the facility requires that a range safety officer (RSO) be present. We offer RSO classes twice a year.
