The WSC Pistol & Rifle Group held a conclave at Bold Rock Cidery in March and concluded that members wanted to continue with a more diverse approach to shooting with a variety of shooting types. In addition to shooting rifles at 50 & 100 yards, plinking with pistols and rifles at steel targets, and bullseye timed pistol shooting, we will be adding a rimfire challenge shooting at steel targets at various distances while changing shooting stations on a timed and scored basis.

Twice this season we will be shooting military rifles as well as black powder muskets and rifles including learning to load using powder loads, bullets and ramrods. For military rifles we will be shooting M-1 Garrand, M-1 Carbine, AR-15, and several foreign rifles including an AK-47 semi-automatic. WSC Members will be allowed to shoot every one of these firearms until the ammo runs out or your shoulder says stop.

We have purchased some steel targets that hang from a rack and can be set up independently of range and distance.  We have 4”, 6”, and 8” size targets which ring like a gong when hit.

New shooters are welcome. All new to the program receive a safety and range rules orientation before shooting.

We will continue to meet in the parking lot of the Stoney Creek Pro Shop at 9am each Monday morning, and carpool to the range.  Most shooters gather at a local brewery or restaurant without firearms for lunch to listen to tall tales about experiences.

New shooters are welcome and will receive a safety and range rules orientation prior to shooting.

*The Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club is located in Albemarle County, just southwest of Charlottesville [map]. RRPC has indoor and outdoor ranges open only to RRPC members (several are WSC members) and a limited number of guests. WSC and RRPC are not affiliated. To shoot at RRPC you must be a member of RRPC or a guest of an RRPC member.
