Location details and information
Douglas Ridge Rifle Club was founded in 1956 as a non-profit organization. The 130-acre campus sits near Eagle Creek on Highway 224, with meadows, wooded areas, and terrain extending to a 400-foot ridge northeast near Judd Road. The location is surrounded by a mix of agricultural land, residences, and commercial businesses, making it a practical spot for serious shooters in the Portland metro area.
One of the few 1,000-yard ranges on the West Coast. Most facilities cap out at 300-600 yards. DRRC's extended range puts precision long-range shooting within reach of Oregon and Southwest Washington shooters.
The facility is structured for competition and serious training. Multiple discipline-specific ranges support over a dozen different shooting sports, from Olympic-style small bore to practical tactical events. Most facilities are wheelchair accessible.
DRRC hosts organized matches and training in:
| Rifle | Pistol | Shotgun | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Power Rifle | Practical Pistol | Trap / 5 Stand | NRL 22 Rimfire |
| Service Rifle | Ladies' Beginner Pistol | Black Powder Muzzleloader | |
| MultiGun | Ladies' League | Handgun Silhouette | |
| Adult Small Bore | Archery | ||
| Junior Small Bore |
Individual discipline directors run monthly matches and organize training. Range Safety Officers (RSOs) supervise all events. Most disciplines run at least one match per month.

DRRC operates under member-elected leadership: - Officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Executive Officer, Treasurer (2-year terms) - Board Members: 6 positions (2-year terms) - Chief Range Safety Officer (CRSO): Oversees all RSOs - Discipline Directors: Manage individual shooting sports
Board and general membership meetings are held monthly (usually last Thursday and first Thursday, respectively) and are open to all members. A monthly newsletter keeps members informed. The club uses social media for additional communication.
DRRC's infrastructure supports multiple shooting styles:
DRRC emphasizes safety, volunteering, and competitive shooting. Members come from all backgrounds. Volunteering exposes you to new disciplines, connects you with other shooters, and keeps the facility running. The club has invested millions in infrastructure and environmental stewardship to protect grounds and waterways. Safety rules are strictly enforced—adherence is non-negotiable.
