Douglas Ridge Rifle Club

I've been a member for 5+ years. Everyone I run into is friendly. I enjoy all the ranges.

Went here last year on a recommendation from a neighbor for sight in days. I had a new scope on my deer rifle and needed to get ready for hunting. All the people were super helpful and knowledgeable. I loved having the coach with the pins in the target right there. This was far more efficient than doing it alone without a spotting scope and other necessary gear.

I usually use the 100-200yd rifle range, the dynamic range and I keep threatening to use the archery range.

They have put a lot of work into upgrades in the past couple years and the places looks really good. It ooked good before too, the concrete and asphalt weren't essential.

I really like the community at DDRC, maybe it's because gun enthusiasts are just damn happy at range. Also, there are a lot guys who are super knowledgeable and willing to chat or give advice.

Say hi to folks and offer to call out for a cold range if you see someone waiting around.

I don't use the facilities much due to the distance from my house, but I do go twice a month and shoot with their ladies group. It's a great facility and all the people I have met there have been nice. I usually use only the indoor and outdoor pistol areas but the shotgun area and rifle areas look pretty impressive.

Spent the day at DRRC.

First I was at the Blackpowder Range shooting my new 1841 Wesson and Prescott reproduction using real black powder poured out of an old (not a reproduction) 1826 powder horn lent to me by one of the guys. Blackpowder is fun! I hit the steel silhouette targets with fair consistancy except for that danged moving buffalo on the rope pulley. I'll get you next time Mr. Buff!


Then I went over to the trap house and shot a round of trap.
No picture...just me learning to say "pull!" with conviction.

Then I went to the indoor pistol range and shot about 200 rounds of .45acp and .38 special for Bullseye practice.


All in all a good day at Douglas Ridge.

Douglas Ridge Rifle Club vies with Tri-Counties as one of the two top ranges in northwest Oregon. There is always something going on there and if you want to shoot out to 1000 yards this is the place to go. Lots of Service Rifle, USPSA, 3-gun matches..and the trap range is up and running again.

I recently spent a fantastic weekend here attending a Project Appleseed rifleman's course. Though my time was limited, what I saw of the facilities was impressive, and every staff member I met was friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to going back soon.

great value
