Does anyone have a recommendation for a device that does electronic target hit detection for longrange shooting I can use at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club (DRRC)? The club has some "rules" that make choosing a device to use a bit challenging. Additionally, standing in the pit and pulling targets when...
Project Appleseed will be doing a Known Distance Clinic in Eagle Creek, OR May 16 & 17. $95 (plus $10 range fee for non-members) will get you 2 full days of rifle instruction. Our focus will be in the 100-400 yard range but we will be going back to 600 for data.
You need a center fire rifle (AR...

Looks like there was a fire on the hillside at the upper pits (used for long range work) on Tuesday. Sounds like the fire dept thinks it may have been started due to shooting steel targets near some dry grass/brush. No hard answer yet.
DRRC is closed to everyone through Friday and should be...

DRRC Christmas Party at Camp Withycombe is Saturday night. Good food, raffles, door prizes and friends. If you're a member, thinking about becoming a member or know a member, come on out.
Christmas Party (Camp Withycombe)
Last one for the year. They will loan you a M1 rifle, shooting matt and
spotting scope. And sell you the ball ammo for the match. Usually lots
of first time shooters. The experienced shooters help coach the new
shooters. Nice friendly group.:) If you have never shot a M-1 or a
Highpower...
Project Appleseed will be back at DRRC next weekend. Still quite a bit of room on the line. If you're looking for some fundamental rifle instruction this is a can't miss. $60 for adults, $20 for youth. You will need a rifle and about 400 rounds of ammunition.

Ill be at tomorrow's all-day Range Safety Officer certification class at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club.
When issued the coveted and stylish RSO vest I promise to be helpful and nice on the firing line, unless not nice is clearly called for. :mad:
I just got back from my second CMP Service Rifle match at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. It was a 500 aggregate. This time I shot my own M1A rather than one of the Club Garands. I did a lot better this time: middle of the pack, placed 14th out of 22 shooters. Not bad for a newbie.
I really liked...
Last week, April 29-30, I took part in my first NRA Highpower match at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. I was the only guy shooting .308 (reason for that?) and an M1A. It is an 800 two day aggregate shot at the standard 200/300/600 yards. Just shooting this one match was enough for me to get my...
A week from Friday will be our Known Distance Clinic out at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. If you haven't shot your rifle much past 100 yards, don't miss this opportunity.
With 2 full days of long range we will build your come up table from 100-600 yards. You will see what your Battle Sight Zero is...
