The range will be closed for repair and maintenance on Tuesday May 17th. 


We need help to re-open the range for 2022


Hey folks! We’re going to have a work detail on the rifle range on Tuesday May 17th. The day begins at 08:00, and the range will be reopened after work has been completed to repair winter and vandalism damage.


If there’s a lot of people there to help, sometimes we finish by noon.  This is important work. We need to raise the gongs on the 300-yard line, do some work re-stapling felt to the ceiling on the firing line, and replace the carpet on some of the bench rest positions.  The 25-yard line has been badly shot up and the target frames need to be completely rebuilt.  About half of the 50-yard line needs to be rebuilt.  And the garage & line shack need to be organized and cleaned up.


Volunteers like you are our only option to repair damage and perform maintenance on the parking areas, driving areas, the range surface, berms, buildings, targets and backer boards. Your work helps keep our club functioning and provides a safe and pleasant experience to all our members.

The type of work to be done includes target repair (replacing 2x4’s, attaching new backer boards), repairing vehicle rutting, general erosion repair and various other chores that any range needs for maintenance and improvement.


Tools needed include battery drills, hammers, battery saws, shovels, gravel-capable rakes.  Skills needed are basic carpentry and grounds care.


Please come out on this spring day and help us get the range open again. The forecast is partly to mostly sunny based on which web site you use.


Itasca Gun Club’s membership form (http://itascagunclub.org/page-1862975) asks members to either provide 5 hours per year of volunteer time or pay $25 per year in lieu of service. These work details are an easy opportunity to invest some time into your club and your ranges.
