Am I reading correctly, 3gun is being moved from the 4th Sunday to the 3rd?

 

[Kimber Custom]

Correct - 3 gun will be the 3rd Sunday in 2015.

Moving to Molalla at the end of the month, thinking I will join DRRC in November. I've been to a couple Appleseeds at the silhouette range, what is the normal use of that range?

 

[Kimber Custom]

Hard question to answer - out of 104 weekend days 24 currently have nothing scheduled on the Silhouette range (and aren't long range days). Some of those events end as early as 2 or 3 and some run until 5:30. Then the range is available until Sunset which can be as early as 4:30 or as late as 9.

Fairly rare for the Silhouette range to be used during the week so it's almost wide open.

I think I misstated my question... If the silhouette range isn't being used for an event what can I shoot there? Handguns? Rimfire? High power rifles?

What about weekdays? I tend to not go do things like shooting or fishing on the weekend.

 

[Kimber Custom]

Ah - gotcha
Silhouette range: Any pistol, rim fire rifle, shotgun (must be slugs) and black powder. Carbines in pistol calibers.
Tactical Shotgun Bay: Any pistol or shotgun (no aerial shooting)
Dynamic range: Any pistol or rifle up to .50 (no .50 BMG allowed at DRRC)
100/200 covered rifle range: Any rifle up to .50 (no pistols may be shot on the rifle range - this is a recent thing so we are still finding people who don't know about this and can't read any of the 3 signs that are posted)

Some events have special permissions to do things like AR's on the Silhouette range - but those are only under controlled circumstances.

I would like to scone what Kimber had to say. I have been a member for little over a year and I am able to go to the range during the week and some times I am there by myself. If you do any practical shooting the Dynamic range is where you are allowed to draw from the hip and as long as you are the only one in that range you can add movement as well. I shoot USPSA there as well so it nice to be able to practice at the range that belong to.

The only other thing I could add is that I don't think I have not meet a bad person there yet. Everyone is very friendly and will work to keep the range clean, safe and fun. Hope this helps and maybe I'll run into some day.

What are yalls hours? I have been meaning to come down and join but with my working hours the only days I can do an orientation is Wednesday or Sundays. Is that possible? Can I schedule a separate one? Would love to join ASAP and start attending 3 gun matches.

 

[NWGlockgal]

I live too far away to join, but would like to join the Ladies night on occasion.
Can a non-member do that? I think the answer is yes but wanted to make sure.

The next Sunday orientation is Dec 7th @10a. Send an e-mail to [email protected] to set an appointment.

Yes, Ladies Night is open to the public. Paul Meier is the guy to talk to: 503 631-8160
