RIFLE RANGE RULE CHANGE

Last Updated: 06 August 2020 06 August 2020

Positions 1 through 4 ONLY have been designated for Off Hand (standing) position shooting. The other positions will be for bench rest or prone shooting. Please be certain that bullets are hitting the target area and not the baffles.

NOTE: Seal Team Six trains at Dam Neck Annex of the Oceana Naval Air Station, just south of Virginia Beach, NOT at the Braintree Rifle & Pistol Club. Shoot accordingly.

SHOTGUN SHOOTING

Last Updated: 06 August 2020 06 August 2020

Shotguns with shot shell can be used on the rifle range for sighting in purposes ONLY at the designated shotgun target. Shotguns with slugs can be sighted in using the 50 yard targets.  

RANGE OFFICERS NEEDED

Last Updated: 06 August 2020 06 August 2020

The range officer program is paramount to insure that members shoot from designated positions, use guns appropriate and allowed on the ranges, and shoot appropriately so that bullets hit the target area/backstops/berms and not the baffles. While all our ranges are designed to prevent bullets from leaving the property, costly damage can occur to our baffles and/or increased maintenance costs.

As a nonprofit volunteer organization, we rely upon members to run and operate the club. Range officers are needed. Please contact the club through the club web site at www.brp.org  at “contact us” if interested in becoming a range officer.  

TRACTOR PURCHASE

Last Updated: 06 August 2020 06 August 2020

The club is contemplating trading in our John Deere tractor and purchasing a new, slightly larger tractor for use at the club. We are looking for members with experience with heavy equipment who can assist in our selection process. We are also looking for persons who are licensed to assist in the operation of the tractor.

Please e-mail the club via our web site if you can assist.
