Dog Days Shoots

Dog Days Silhouette Shoots will be holding a metallic prairie dog silhouette centerfire and rimfire rifle match at the Sunday Creek 200 yard rifle range on July 16th. This is a great opportunity to shoot competitively as well as support great causes.

Please see their website for more details… http://www.shootdogdays.com/

Also please note that the 200 yard range will be closed on the 15th and 16th of July for this shoot.

Range work day and BBQ

We will be holding a range maintenance work day at the Sunday Creek Rifle and Pistol Range on June 4th. The range will be closed this day. The club will be providing free BBQ and refreshments to all volunteers who attend.

And volunteers are needed as we have MANY projects to complete this year including: finishing painting the trim on the clubhouse, painting the shed next to the clubhouse, refurbishing and painting the wooden shooting benches, replacing broken seats on other shooting benches, resetting misplaced target receivers in the first pistol bay, filling in ruts in front of the pistol bays, work on the septic system for the new bathroom, repairing steel targets on the rifle range, repairing berms and target backers on rifle range, mowing, spraying weeds, possibly setting the post for the new NRA High Power range, etc.

Please contact us at email@custerrodandgun.com if you are available to help out that day. Or just show up. Keep in mind we can use most any tool you bring, whether it be a paint brush, shovel, or backhoe. Did we mention we could REALLY use a backhoe or a BIG front end loader? Because we could if anyone has access to that! Seriously!

We only hold these work days once or twice per year, so this is your opportunity to contribute to your club and range. Hope to see you there! Please and thank you.
