IRRRB news article about the Itasca Gun Club.  Scroll down toward the bottom of this IRRRB newsletter for a good description about the club!  



Itasca Gun Club’s shooting and training programs are open to all.  Being a member provides support to the club and we strongly encourage membership, but it’s not a requirement to participate in our programs.



Our club's business meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at our classroom/indoor range building, at 7:00 PM.  Click on any month's calendar entry for more information.



Be safe out there!



Range Development


We will continue to develop and improve the range, as we get grants to provide funding.  We need help finding grants so we can apply for them.  You can always click the "Contact Webmaster" link at the bottom of every page on this site if you know of a possible grant source.


In April 2021, a powerline right of way was cut from the road to the site of the future clubhouse and indoor range.  Poles and lines were installed in 2022 so we're ready when we move the clubhouse.  



Slideshow, range development work accomplished under a 2020 grant from the NRA foundation and the Itasca Chapter of the Friends of the NRA.


 


It's a good time to Join the Itasca Gun Club


It's a good time to join or renew your membership in the Itasca Gun Club. You can join Itasca Gun Club for only $35 a year, $23 for seniors, as a family membership.  That's a terrific price for year-round family use of a range.  Check our Membership page.



It's a good time to Join the NRA


Join the NRA through the Itasca Gun Club.  Good representation of gun owners is important in today's political climate.


Join the NRA, or renew your membership through the Itasca Gun Club, and NRA will credit the club with a commission.  See our NRA Recruiter page.  Club members and anyone else can use this feature to save a little and bring a commission to the club.  Joining the NRA adds to the strength of the voice of gun owners on a national and local level.


And, you get a free hat!         




Outdoor Range Rules



The outdoor range hours are 08:00 until 1/2 hour before sunset.  People live in the area, and we want to remain good neighbors by not making noise too early or too late.  Tannerite and similar explosive targets are banned at this range due to insurance requirements.  Be careful driving out to the range in the winter or muddy periods.  Don't exceed safe speeds for the existing road conditions.  Do NOT shoot at rocks or target frames.  Rocks create ricochets.  If you damage the frames or target holders, volunteers have to spend the time and money to repair them for all range users.  Do NOT drive down into the infield area to put up targets.  Drive and park on the road, then walk down to the target lies you're using.  Be a responsible range user. 



While the range is open to members, please check the club calendar before you head out to make sure that the range is not temporarily closed for construction, training or scheduled shooting events.
