**Additional note** If you search for the range on Google, please do not call the phone number listed on the Google Business search result. The range does not have a phone at this time, and we're unsure of who the phone number belongs to. It is a Delphos number, and we believe it may belong to family of a member who has passed. They've been very kind in answering the phone and redirecting members as best they can, but we're working hard to get the number removed from the business listing. Thank you!

If you have friends that are members and they're not on Facebook, please be sure to share the club meeting information with them. We'll be putting signs up at the range as well.

A year ago, we mailed out all of the invitations for the 2025 meeting, had a receipt showing that they were mailed, and we understand that they were never received. We were very disappointed, because it caused a lot of confusion and many members choose to renew for the year during the meeting.

This year, we had the invitations created around the first of December so they'd be mailed plenty early, and so far, we've not heard of members receiving them yet.

We also understand that some members prefer not to include their email address on the membership renewal, and that's okay. But if you're willing to provide your email for 2026 memberships, we are planning to create an email list where we can send these types of announcements out (eg., the annual meeting, 4th of July Fireworks open house, extended range closures, etc.). We promise not to spam you :-)

We are sharing this local incident as an educational opportunity. Les and his family have built a business here in Delphos that provides crucial resources not only for hunters, but local emergency response teams as well.

Radio control aircraft/drones are governed by the FAA, and it is a federal felony to shoot at one.

We will have 4 board positions that we’ll be voting for in January. If you’re a current club member and interested in running for a board position, please send us an email at [email protected] to let us know.

Any member interested in running for the board will need to attend the board meeting on December 21st.

Thanks!

Hi all! As we move into September and shorter days are ahead of us, we wanted to share a few reminders:

1. The range is open Thursday-Tuesday from 9am-sunset. On Wednesday, the range is closed until 1pm for maintenance.

2. Members, please sign your guests in. The guest book is on the counter in the clubhouse.

3. If you don't have a current membership, the cost to join/renew is now $75 through the end of the year. This covers the remainder of 2025 through December 31, 2026.

4. Please make sure you're cleaning up your brass and shotgun shells when you're done shooting.

Thanks!

The range is in great shape after the weather last night. Drainage improvements we made last fall worked as we had hoped. All of the gravel areas are dry for the most part.

The pistol range does not have any standing water, and there’s just a small amount of standing water toward the west end of the rifle range. We do have power, if anyone wants to go out and shoot today. It’s supposed to be nice.
