Don't occupy the range until the OIC/RSO give you instructions to go forward of the poles.  You'll see people line up behind that area and stake out their benches/tables. 

It's out in the open so lots of sunscreen.  There's a restroom nearby, but other than that, it's out in the open.  If you don't get a bench/table, you are shooting from the grass.  You can bring a pop up tent, but you'll have to set it up behind the shooting positions. 

There are targets that you can use that are provided by the club, but it can vary on what is available for your use.  If you have a target stand, with base, bring it. 

Do most people who don't get a bench put their firearms on the ground? Do they use mats or the folding plastic tables?

I put my guns on the wooden covers if no bench is available.  Bring your own target frame a stand if you can, sometimes they're out  Or nail together a wooden base for your koko head stand.  If all else fails, staple a target to a large cardboard box and weigh it down.  Bring multiple stands and targets so you can practice transitions.

All the stuff you would normally bring to koko head.  Also bring water, gallon or liter plastic jugs filled with water to shoot, base balls are challenging to hit with a pistol (golf balls are even harder).  Bind together wet telephone books or stacks of newspaper to capture hollowpoint bullets.  Silhouette targets are allowed.

Holster (if you are trained to use one), shot timers.  Good place to shoot shotgun.  Shooting mat or blanket,

That's what I normally bring.

Also bring a folding handruck or cart, so you don't have to struggle carrying all that stuff to the firing line.

And you must pick up all brass on the line. If the line is left dirty, SRCG gets the blame.

You need to be .mil (active or retired) or a DoD employees for membership. They do take non-mil or DoD affiliated members, but those numbers are limited to a percentage of .mil and DoD members and there's usually a pretty long wait list.

I've been talking with one active duty senior NCo as Schofield to try to increase the number of active duty guys in the club.

Drck1000- nope I haven't been getting any notices guess i should go to the next meeting

Hmm. Did you renew your membership this past June? If you did renew, try sending Ted Merrill and email to check on getting on the notification email.

ETA - I've never been to a membership meeting. Oops. Haha.

We made it. Got a little lost thinking that the entrance is by SR-5. We took the road that said pistol range or something like that and it was all dirt road. Super plenty potholes and mounds and this huge steep down and up hill. Come to find out when we left there is a paved road going the back side. Anyways we spoke to the RSOs and they were very friendly. They taught us how everything works, what kind targets we can bring, etc. It was pretty fun being able to fully load up our magazines and rapid fire. My friend was right and that you need to bring out plenty ammo. We went through 150 rounds of 223 in 30 mins and that's not including shooting our pistols. Shooting bowling pins is fun too. Our car is pretty dusty and so is everything else.

Came in as a guest on Sunday.  I'll be applying for membership next month.  I agree when you can load up full mags ammo goes fast.......
