For your convenience, target stantions are placed at 100, 150, 200 and 300 meters. Berms on the right side of the field are located at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards.

The outdoor range is open to any member and their guest. The outdoor range is closed when there is a club sanctioned shoot, when the Trap and Skeet ranges are in use or when maintenance is being done. Please check the schedule for details.

Last shoot of the year ended with a bang! Numerous bowling pins, tons of clay birds, pistols, rifles, shotguns, oh my! 6 teams threw down lead; scores were very close. Come out next year and join in the fun! Keep an eye out on the calendar.

A plethora of hardware, the 4 gun always brings out some serious metal and top shooters. Going from shotgun to rifle to pistol to two rifle stations all while the clock is running is simply maddening! Nerves of steel are required, as well as a good semi-auto rifle. Top scores were separated only by a matter of a few seconds. If you missed it, shame on you! Come out to the next event, the Wild Bunch, where we mix old school with modern twists. Check the calendar for details.

The lead was flying fast and frequently at this year's cowboy action shoot! We tried out some new steel targets for pistol, and they worked perfectly. Transitioning from revolvers to shotguns to rifles, there was a frenzy of action. After 6 different stages, the lowest elapsed time was shared by 2 shooters, with 2nd and 3rd place following closely behind. If you couldn't get your chaps ready in time, come out and join us for the next event! Check the calendar for details.

What can be dubbed the "Jam-O-Matic match, April's event showed just what you can learn from your systems when put to the test. Almost everyone experienced some sort of failure with their firearm, most notably jamming issues. When the guns did cooperate, a nice course of fire was available that consisted of 30 evil bowling pins, setup in banks of 5. Running between the banks and changing positions (sitting, standing, prone) shooters were scored based on their time to complete the course, and optionally allowed to transition to pistol on the last 2 banks of pins. All said and done, the top time of the day was 1 minute 57 seconds. If you missed this event, come out to the next one! Check the calendar for details. Also, this shoot will be held again later in the year!

March's rifle match showcased some talented precision bench rest shooters in the Tactical Shoot. 10 targets were placed anywhere from 50 yards to 235 yards, with some being obscured by trees and brush. A target was also placed high up in the air on a long strip of wood, further challenging all shooters. The top score was 98 out of 100, which included four X ring hits.

The second match of the 2011 Rosedale rifle season was a new event, the poker shoot. Nine guys came out to "try their hand" and we saw who was the real deal and who was just bluffing. Each shooter drew five cards from a deck, and then shot the hand they drew. Targets were placed at 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards. It was a showdown between Tim with his .204 Ruger and JT with his 6.5 Creedmoor. Tim scored 49 out of 50 with 2 X's. JT answered back shooting also a 49, but managed 4 X's, thus declaring him the winner. Come out and join us for next month's event!

The 2011 Rosedale rifle season started off with the CMP style shoot. There were 12 brave souls that came out and faced the cold temperatures to burn some powder and have a good time. Guns of choice consisted mainly of AR-15 type variants, but a few shooters brought their SKSs, M1 Garands, Mosin Nagants and Swiss K31's. Everyone had a great time, and if you missed this event, come out to the next one.
