As of October 1st the new SOP went into effect. You can find a copy of this document with the link below.
In section 16 the board authorized a $15.00 a day fee for all non-members no matter the discipline of use for the range. This means no matter if you are shooting pistols on the bays, using the archery range, using the 500 or 1000 yard ranges or shooting at the Clay Target Center you will please sign in at the Range Office.
If you are a member you will sign in with your member card. If you are a non-member you will sign in and pay the $15.00 day fee. This section also states that price of the clays will be the same for members or non-members which will be $5.00 per round of clays. A round of clays is 25 clays.
Chamber Flags are MANDATORY during a cease fire on the range and during all events & matches. You may also remove the bolt from any bolt gun instead of a chamber flag.
At the “CEASE FIRE” command, all firearms will be unloaded, magazines removed, actions opened, and placed on the benches, with the muzzle pointed down range.
Move immediately BEHIND the YELLOW SAFETY LINE and stay there until an “All Clear” is given. NO ONE is permitted to handle firearms or stand at the Firing Line while there is a “Cold Range”, or “Cease Fire” having been called.
If you don’t already have one, Chamber Flags can be purchased at the Range Office for $3.00 each.
We will be having a cleanup day at the range on October 26th, 2024.
If you want to bring rakes, shovels, gloves, hoola hoes, etc. they will be appreciated.
Volunteers that come and help with this will be not only greatly appreciated but will be fed. We will be having hot dogs, hamburgers, chips sodas and water.
If there are any questions about this please contact Fred at president@mohavesportsmanclub.org, leave message with range office, or Vicki at treasurer@mohavesportsmanclub.org
Our range was built on volunteers and we greatly appreciate any volunteer work that is offered to the range.
We hope to see you there!

It is with great appreciation that we have received a $500.00 donation from the Arizona Rangers for us to fix the roof on bay 10.
The Arizona Rangers used to come to our range to shoot but they now have their own range to shoot at. They have never forgotten us and wish our range to continue on in the fabulous glory of being available for all to shoot at. When they heard the call for help they stepped up and brought us a check for $500.00. This donation was presented at the August meeting to our President, Fred Bunge. We would like to give them a big round of applause and sincere thank you.
The Rimfire Challenge Shooting Association World Championship Shoot is on October 19th & 20th this year. Registration is open and the match is filling up fast.

Fishing for Smiles was a wonderful event with about 110 kids enjoying a day fishing!
Special thanks to Don Martin for all the donations that he collected for this event and the work he did at the filet station. Also, big thanks to Jim McGeechy for working with the Elks and helping to weigh & measure fish for the kids.
We would like to recognize some members for doing volunteer work around the range. Without volunteer's thing can't get done. Frank Lanczok and Steve Bell ran a 120v to the #2 skeet house for the transformers as they have been putting them in. Steve bought the gasket sealant and a quart of gear oil to fix the range tractor. They took the time and fixed it. They have also been working hard to spread the gravel and make the shotgun range more accessible. Also for safety reasons they are working on this.
Mike Lilliroos cleaned bay 2 and 3 using a Hula Hoe and it took him approximately an hour per bay.
The range and the Membership of the club are thankful for all of the work these people have done.
Want to give a big shout out to Jay, Shana and Maya Ackerman. Jay answered the call for someone to either find a refrigerator or donate one. He found a side by side used refrigerator approximately 21 cubic feet for $150.00. He then brought it to the club house, took out the old one and installed the new one. He then took the refrigerator to the recycler and disposed of it.
His wife Shana and his daughter Maya saw the condition of the kitchen and set about cleaning, painting and relining all the cupboards with shelf paper. They spent 7 hours doing this. They donated all the paint, shelf paper and time to the range.
We want to say thank youand let them know that we really appreciate them for all their hard work.
We have implemented new hours for the 500 & 1000 yard ranges starting 2/19/2024.
As per Arizona Game and Fish, the 1000 yard range and 500 meter range cannot be used simultaneously. This is due to close proximity and lack of angular difference between shooting lanes; obviously a safety issue. Until a permanent solution is implemented the 1000 yard range and 500 yard range shooting times will be as follows:
Monday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Monday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Tuesday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Tuesday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Wednesday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Wednesday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Thursday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Thursday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will remain first come first served.
Special events, matches or LE requirements will take precedent.
Duty Range Officers discretion may change schedule to serve public as necessary.
A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League is a ladies-only organization established by women shooters for women pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooters! The league is designed to take beginners to whatever skill level they wish to achieve and provide experienced shooters with more opportunities. The objective of some is to improve their skill levels for self-defense and competitive shooting. Others also are interested in learning how to choose the right guns, gear, and accessories for long-term participation in the community.
Please check the club calendar for our next event. Normally we will meet once a month on Sunday at 2pm.
Please bring eye & ear protection, a brimmed hat, a handgun (unloaded), at least 2 magazines, a kydex holster, belt, pants with belt loops, NO serpa holsters, and 50-100 rounds of ammo.
Expect to be working on firearm safety, manipulations of your firearm, including stoppages, stance, grip, and shooting fundamentals. As the skill level of the group goes up, different shooting drills will be introduced.
You do not have to be a member of AG&AG organization, nor MSC to participate. Range fee for the events are $10 for non-MSC members and $5 for MSC members.
AG&AG membership is $50 per year and comes with many great benefits and perks. You can visit their website here: AG&AG
