Firearms may be fired at distances varying from 7 yards to 100 yards by moving the target holders. Shooters need to provide their own targets and staplers. No exploding, tracer or any other incendiary ammunition or target or situations that might cause a fire are allowed. The range facilities are available for use by Chatuge Gun Club members during daylight hours and is accessible by a key card issued upon joining the club by filling out the new member application; attending new member orientation; paying the dues as described in the "Dues Policies" on this website; and signing an agreement with the club to understand and obey ALL range rules as set forth by the Chatuge Gun Club.
The club presents "friendly" competition on a weekly basis and these competitions are open to anyone wishing to participate as long as basic range safety rules are followed. Reference the event calendar for match dates and times. These club matches vary and attempt to provide a form of entertainment to satisfy almost all types of firearms from muzzle loaders to semi-auto loaders.
