Harvey Ring Indoor Shooting Range

Originally constructed and named for Harry Ring, a Club President that died unexpectedly, PSC is proud to have a 50 foot, indoor, heated, shooting range that has 7 stations and is used for Pistols and .22 caliber rifles.  The range is open 24×7 for individuals to shoot except when scheduled events on the Calendar. 

The firing positions are open for all calibers of handguns. (no magnums, no wad cutters)

This Range is was extensively renovated in 2010, and is heated for winter time use, has adjustable lighting at each shooting station and is used for “all weather” training classes. Use of exterior doors to separate the ready room from the unheated range space, provides an easy status of the range to the Range Officer as doors cannot be closed if a shooter is present at the firing line.  When open they serve as dividers between shooters.

The glass in the doors provides an easy way for all present in the ready room to see activities downrange.

The range has 7 shooting position each equipped standing height target backers as well as prone backers.  Shooters affix targets to the  wooden slats with staples for full range of adjustable positions.
