"The Friendliest Club in the World" - Member tagline

The range enforces strict safety protocols including mandatory ear protection, eyes-forward firing only, and supervised guest access. All firearms must be unloaded and actions open when anyone is downrange. No alcohol is permitted on club grounds.

The club operates through active committees covering everything from building maintenance to legislative advocacy. Members volunteer across range safety, education, fish & game partnerships, and event planning.
