We are excited to announce significant upgrades to the long-range shooting facilities at Gem City Outdoorsmen Club. These improvements will enhance the experience for our members while being considerate of our neighbors. Here’s what’s happening:
We are leveling a new pad area to accommodate the construction of a dedicated building for long-range shooting. This structure will provide shooters with a comfortable and sheltered space to improve their accuracy and enjoy their time at the range, regardless of weather conditions.
To maintain good relations with our surrounding community, we are incorporating sound control measures aimed at reducing noise levels. These enhancements will enable us to reintroduce steel targets on the 400-yard range, offering more diverse shooting experiences without disturbing our neighbors.
Exciting changes don’t stop here! In 2025, we have even more upgrades planned to continue improving the quality and functionality of our long-range shooting area. Stay tuned for more details as we strive to make our range one of the best in the region.
Road will be open based on weather conditions. Absolutely no passenger vehicles are permitted beyond graveled road. Quads may be used to access targets at the 200, 300, and 400-yard range, weather permitting
• No 50-caliber BMG rifles are permitted
• No full metal jacket ammunition shall be fired at steel targets
• No exploding targets or bottles/cans of any kind are permitted
• No bump stocks or other rapid-firing mechanisms may be used on the range. Each shot shall require the release and pulling of the trigger in order to fire a subsequent round. Aim at your target before firing. Indiscriminate firing of multiple rounds without aiming is prohibited
We are currently engaged in an initiative aimed at enhancing and expanding our long-range facilities. As part of this endeavor, a new covered building is in the planning and implementation stages, alongside the installation of shooting benches. Additionally, we are undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of the 200-yard, 300-yard, and 400-yard backstops and targets. Furthermore, enhancements to drainage systems and access roads have been prioritized and executed to ensure optimal functionality and convenience. Furthermore, as progress unfolds, we are committed to providing regular updates by sharing pertinent images and information to keep stakeholders informed of the ongoing developments. This transparent approach aims to foster trust and engagement among our community as we strive for continuous improvement and excellence in our long-range facilities.
