ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE NRA? If you are, great! If you are not, please seriously consider joining it. While you may not agree with all that the NRA does, it does a great deal to promote the shooting sports, and is a bastion of support for the Second Amendment. And the Friends of the NRA grants have helped our range become what it is-to the tune of $33,000, so far.

MAY 5 MEMBERSHIP MEETING WILL BE AT THE LEWISTON OFFICE OF IDAHO FISH AND GAME DEPARTMENT, STARTING AT 700 PM.See you there!
