Well the shooting season is slowly winding to a close. There's not much more scheduled on the big board except for a few classes and some rifle nights. But before it's all said and done we will have our annual Chili Open / Covered Dish / .22LR Match. On Saturday November 5th we will kick off a .22 long rifle match at 2:00pm. It's always one of the highlights of the season and this year will be even better. I've got a few unexpected surprises in store. Think things that go BOOM! We'll shoot until 5 pm and then it's time to feast. Karen will have her famous chili and everyone else will have hopefully brought something good too. After that, who knows. This is a members only event. After all membership has it's privileges. Hope to see everyone there.

3- Gun Match

We are going to set up a small 3-gun match for Sunday September 18th. Members will be $5 and non-members $10. It will be a smaller 5 to 6 stage match. Guns used will include handgun, carbine/rifle and Shotgun. There will probably be a stage wher you need slugs in addition to birdshot. The match will start at 1000 and go until everyone has shot. Figure 75 rounds of rifle, 20 shotgun birdshot, 5 slugs and 50 rounds of pistol.

This a Muzzle Down Range

Bill Bird

*** Greenport is a Muzzle down range, meaning unless your weapon is on a target the muzzle must be holstered or in the low position pointing the muzzle at the ground.

*AT NO TIME SHALL THE MUZZLE POINT TO THE SKY.*

*Please maintain this position with all shooters as if we have an AD then the bullet needs to be kept in this range, NO exception!! We need to practice this so our neighbors will be safe and we can continue to shoot here.

*CHAMBER FLAGS will be required when long guns are not in your POSITIVE control.

*NO LOADING OF ANY WEAPON, UNLESS YOU ARE ON THE FIRING LINE. ALL WEAPONS WILL BE UNLOADED IN A SAFE AREA, OR ON THE FIRING LINE. If you are in a private class you will need to follow the instructors wishes whether its a cold range or a hot range for their class only! This is the instructors discretion.

Greenport is machinegun friendly, nothing bigger than 40 mil. Please do not bring illegal weapons onto this range. Bring your paperwork with your weapon as I may want to see it.
