Editor’s Note: During the late Summer Project Day (8/29) there was an incident where a member came up to shoot but did not realize the ranges were closed as usual for posted project days. This particular member got pretty irate on finding out he could not shoot and proceeded to leave at a pretty high rate of speed. He came too close to the members working and created an unsafe environment. It was unsportsmanlike conduct and will not be tolerated. Just because someone did not take the time to look at the calendar or the website – Don’t be that guy!!

Also – very special thanks
to the few that did show up to help out on project day. We still got a great deal accomplished


We are looking for quotes on snowplowing at the club for the winter . If interested, reach out to projects@wrg.club with your contact info.
