Pistol/Rifle Range Closure Notice for 2025

The following are the planned closures for the Gem City Outdoorsmen Club Pistol/Rifle Range due to the scheduled trap season and various competitions. These closures are necessary to ensure the safety of all participants and to accommodate club events such as the GCOC Memorial Shoot and Fun Shoot.

Please refer to the posted schedule for specific dates and times of closures. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to provide a safe and organized environment for all shooting activities.

For any questions or concerns, please contact the club administration.

Message from the President

3/21/2025

It has been reported that one or more of our members has abused the rifle range by shooting at trees on the perimeter of the range. This is a very dangerous action. There are people who walk the roads that are parallel to the range for various reasons and at different times of the day. Whoever is doing this is putting others in potential danger.

There is to be absolutely NO firing of weapons outside of the safe boundaries of the range. There is to be NO cross-firing from one range to another, such as shooting from the pistol range to the 50 yard or hundred yard range.

Anyone found abusing these rules will be dismissed from Gem City immediately.

As members of this club, you are responsible for the safe use of it. Should you encounter someone who is acting carelessly, simply record their license plate number and turn it in to one of the directors. We will take the appropriate actions.

Please remember that this club belongs to all of us and we, as members, are responsible for the safe use of it. Enjoy it and follow the rules.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dave Karle

President GCOC
