SHOOTING DISCIPLINES, GROUPS, & COMPETITIONS

As part of ERGC’s mission to practice and encourage recreational shooting, we actively bolster the experience of group shooting sports. We are deliberate in our intent to appeal to and cultivate both casual and competitive shooting groups, and we’re proud that our range is enjoyed by so many great organizations.

Studies have proven time and again that one of the best ways to improve a skill is by being part of a group specific to that skill. Whether it’s a softball league or a gardening club, group involvement exposes you to fresh ideas and advanced techniques. We accommodate many organizations with interests in various shooting sports and firearm disciplines, so no matter what shooting styles you favor, you’re sure to find a group that fits.

Whether individually or with a group, many members enjoy testing themselves as they develop their firearm proficiency. To that end, ERGC works to attract, host, facilitate, and promote organized shoots and competitive matches for groups and/or particular shooting disciplines. Nothing hones skills quite like friendly rivalry!

ERGC will always revolve around individual and/or family-based firearms practice, but we hope you’ll explore the many benefits to be gained from participating in groups or competitions.

ERGC .22 RIMFIRE BENCHREST

This match follows American Rimfire Association (ARA) rules and allows any .22 rimfire rifle with any optic and any magnification. Two-piece benchrests for Factory class, but a one-piece can be used for Unlimited class.

IDPA DEFENSIVE PISTOL SHOOTERS

Defensive pistol shooting as a sport is the use of practical equipment to solve simulated self-defense scenarios. IDPA events require shooters to use practical handguns and holsters suitable for self-defense.

MILITARY RIFLE

Military Rifle competitions occur throughout the year, and you’ll find military shooters at the range early every Sunday morning. Dust off those old rifles and come out to play!

PROJECT APPLESEED RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP

In American history, a Rifleman is a marksman who can hit targets 500 yards away, traditionally known as “the Rifleman’s quarter-mile”. Learn new techniques, polish your skills, and become a true Rifleman!

STEEL CHALLENGE

DING! This is the arcade game of the shooting sports – a fun, low-stress way to compete across 8 stages, each consisting of 5 steel plates of varying size and distance. Bring anything that fires a pistol caliber.

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

“Best shooting range in the area. Allows drawing from the holster, rapid fire, movement, etc.”

Charlie Swartz, via Facebook

“Awesome place enjoy each time we go. Everyone very nice and helps when needed.”

Dolores LeClair, via Facebook

“Had a good time today. Was able to help a buddy dial in new scope on his hunting rifle. He was able to shoot as my guest for $10 and after looking the place over is thinking about joining. Range Safety Officers are friendly and not in the way. We had a good experience here today!”

Tony House, via Facebook

“If you’re looking to be treated like adults and seek reasonable freedom this is the place. I have been going here for awhile and love it compared to the high priced other local ranges. Clean bathrooms and fun responsible atmosphere.”

Shawn T., via Facebook
“My biggest regret is we had not joined sooner. We look forward to taking part in some the events and definitely look forward to shooting steel.”
Johnny Salaza, via Facebook
“Great place to shoot. If you want to shoot slow, fine. But if you want to rapid fire and or practice drawing from the holster, this is the place to do it. Most ranges will not allow that. Plenty types of shooting matches to chose from. IDPA, cowboy, military, and a Ladies only match too. If you like shooting and moving, come to the IDPA match.”
Gordon Leaf, via Facebook
“We absolutely love it at ERGC! The people (staff and members alike) are all genuine and friendly. All of the RSOs we’ve met so far are so knowledgeable and very helpful! We highly recommend ERGC!”
Will and Marilyn Cottingham, via Facebook

“We brought our whole family today and it was great! Staff is friendly and very welcoming to our 2 kids (ages 4 and 6). Excited to have a year membership and go often.”

Rachel Sarhalar, via Facebook
“I like this gun club a lot, been member almost a year and will definitely renew my membership. With new stuff coming I am excited.”
Andrew Rowzee, via Facebook

What caliber should a person bring? Since I have no idea about competitive shooting, what calibers are used/allowed ? How many rounds for each firearm ?

What time does the class run to?

Do you mind if I share this with a non-profit for veterans that I volunteer with?

Can I show up and just stay in the Steel Challenge bay? lol

I enjoyed it y'all

Cody Mike Williams

Good job !
