Powder River Sportsmen's Club

Powder River Sportsmen's Club (PRSC) operates Virtue Flat Shooting Range, a premier competitive and recreational shooting facility located near Baker City, Oregon. Founded in 1953 through the merger of three regional sporting clubs, PRSC has served the shooting community for over 70 years.

The club hosts diverse competitive matches and shooting activities:

• •USPSA Practical Pistol Matches - Dynamic pistol competitions
• •SASS Cowboy Action Shooting - Virtue Flat Shootist Society competitions
• •Precision Rifle Series (PRS) - Competitive long-range rifle events
• •DMR Designated Marksman Rifle Matches - Precision rifle competitions
• •Steel Silhouette Matches - Varmint silhouette target shooting
• •Long-Range Rifle Events - Distances up to 1000 yards
• •Safety Seminars - Hunter education and firearm safety classes

Virtue Flat's 1000-yard rifle range was dedicated in 1968 following construction efforts by regional lumber companies and volunteers. The range features dedicated firing berms and target pits designed for precision shooting at extended distances.

The club operates as a membership organization. Current members range from 300-400 annually, with an active shooting community participating in scheduled events. Membership is required for range access and competition participation.

Beyond competitive shooting, PRSC remains active in conservation efforts, youth hunter education, and wildlife management initiatives. The club maintains the Powder River Pistolettes, a ladies-only shooting group welcoming new members.
