Eastland Rifle and Pistol Club Texas

ERPC CLUB UPDATE Tuesday Sept 8, 2026

1. The locks were changed this morning as we start the 2026 - 2027 Membership Season. If you have not renewed, please visit I20 Pawn or contact us to renew digitally with Venmo.

2. We are down (1) Backboard on the Pistol Range. Sadly some members / visitors do not understand "NO SHOTGUN USE ON THE FRONT RANGE". The left backboard was shot-out so bad it could not be refreshed and will require a full rebuild. We found numerous fresh shotgun shells on the ground and fresh empty boxes in the trash. We will try to get a volunteer team together in the next week to rebuild this range. Going forward we will assess a penalty / damage fee to anyone caught shooting shotgun loads on the front range and / or revoke membership. This is unacceptable damage that impacts the greater membership, let alone the time and cost to repair. We have a Shotgun range that can be used for these activities. Thank you for your adhering to this policy.

3. Speaking of the Shotgun range, Russell and Michael will host our regular s***t match this Saturday Sept 12 at 10am. We will send more updates later this week about this match.

The pic attached is current state of the Pistol Range. If anyone wants to help volunteer Saturday morning to rebuild it please let us know. Thank you.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT -

As the new Fiscal year has started (Sept 1st) this also means membership renewals and access code changes. If you have not renewed your membership please do so ASAP to maintain access.

As a courtesy and to not disrupt current members from accessing the range during the Holiday weekend we are giving a grace period before locks are changed.

The ERPC Locks on the Main Ringling Lake Gate AND the Club Gate will be changing effective Monday September 7th at 7PM.

Emails will be sent earlier that day to all active / renewed (2026 - 2027) members with the new gate code. Please check your spam / junk folders and be sure to accept emails from talontactics.com.

If you do not receive an email you can contact us at [email protected] or send a message here using Facebook Messenger. Please include your name and email when sending us a message so we can validate your membership and update our records if needed.

If you have not renewed yet, the quickest way is to go to I20 Pawn and renew there with cash or check. You can also renew / join via email & Venmo payment, but this option may have delays in response time. If you prefer this option please email us at [email protected].

Please remember the board is a volunteer group and have real lives and jobs, so response times may vary. We make every effort to reply within 24 to 48 hours and if you are lucky we may answer or respond even quicker.

Starting Tuesday morning you will need the new code, so if you do not have it please do not try to access the range. We will not be able to validate or provide access info on-demand and your plans may be impacted.

Thank you for your membership and patience as we transition into the new membership season.

08/31/2026

Today is the last day of the 2025 - 2026 Membership Season. Please visit I20 Pawn or contact us to renew your membership. We sent email reminders to those members that had provided emails during the previous season application. As a courtesy we will leave the current membership access until EOD Sept 7th, at which time the locks will be changed and ONLY those that have renewed will be informed of the updated access codes. Please note that if you DO NOT renew prior to this coming weekend you will risk being locked out starting EOD Monday Sept 7th. After that date we will be limited on response time to process membership renewals / access on an on-demand need. What that means is if you show up and the gate is locked and you do not have access because of not renewing prior you will more than likely not get same day access. Please plan accordingly and renew ASAP. We appreciate all our members. Thank you.

SPECIAL NOTE:

There has been an issue with how people are locking the main gate. Although it seems pretty basic, the following MUST be followed when securing the MAIN RINGLING LAKE GATE.

When attaching the ERPC lock, it must go at the "END" of the chain of locks. This ensures that all parties that have access can unlock / lock their designated locks for access.

DO NOT attach randomly in the chain of locks, leaving other locks disconnected from the access. When you do this you prevent other parties that have been granted access from having access. This then reflects negatively on ERPC and also requires me or another board member to quickly go out to the range to fix the issue or risk our lock being cutoff and our membership losing access. Below are photos to illustrate.

Thank you for your attention to this.

Happy August everyone. It is that time of year to renew your ERPC Club Memberships. The month of August is the renewal period as the new Fiscal year starts on September 1st. We have updated membership applications at i20 Pawn Shop and can also help facilitate renewals via email and Venmo (for a small fee) if that is easier. Please note that we are currently traveling and will return on August 10th and can assist with electronic renewals after that date. We will also be sending out renewal reminders via email once we return. Please note that gate codes will be changing in September and only active members will receive the new access code(s). We look forward to seeing you at the range. Thank you.
