Small Bore Rifle and Pistol
CCRC has 36 covered-pavilion
shooting positions at 25, 50, and 100 yards, with
sturdy backstops for stapling paper targets, and four bench rest
platforms for sighting in.
Our rifle and pistol teams are
affiliated with the Central Michigan Rifle and Pistol League (CMRPL).
During the winter, November through April, the CCRC Small Bore Rifle
Team shoots weekly indoor
league matches at local ranges. This team is open to everyone,
regardless of skill level. For more
information on the rifle team, contact captain Bob LaReau at
517-332-5403.
During the winter, November through
March, the CCRC Pistol Team shoots weekly indoor league
matches at area ranges. This team is also open to everyone, regardless
of shooting ability or handicap.
At the end of the season, the CMRPL
holds an awards banquet and dinner for all participants
and their families.
CCRC also sponsors a Junior Club
rifle team that shoots indoor with the CMRPL. Junior Club
members meet Tuesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. during
the winter.
Participants are taught marksmanship and safe firearms use by NRA
certified instructors,
and fire .22-caliber rimfire and airgun
rifles in the NRA
junior marksmanship program
with awards at each stage of competition.
Handgun
There
are 15 covered-pavilion shooting positions at our 25-yard range, which
has a 180-degree
horseshoe berm with rugged backstops for stapling paper targets. The IDPA match events are
held here and in the four bermed areas directly behind this range. This
is also the location
of our Caboodle Shoot,
which is a fun pistol match using IDPA
scoring,
but does not require a holster, magazine pouches, or concealment.
Bench Rest Shooting
Four
rugged bench rest shooting platforms take their place underneath our
18-position covered-pavilion
firing lines at the 50 and 100 yard ranges, with one bench at the 200
yard range in the high power
rifle pavilion. Our bench rest shooting area shares the same firing
line as the 25-yard line located
immediately to the left, providing an additional 18 shooting positions.
Here are directions on how to build your own bench based
based on the design used at our club:
Shotgun
Our
modern electronic trap range is open Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m.
until 10:00 p.m. during the
the summer and fall. The trap area has new concrete paved walks, and
lights for night shooting.
Trap is open to everyone. For more information, please call Bill
O’Connor at 517-655-6515.
Women's events
Our
club sponsors several Ladies Handgun Nights throughout the summer, and
we also hold
a Fall Ladies Day where handguns, rifles, and shotguns are provided for
use.
These events are open to the public, and are designed to provide both
amateur and
experienced shooters an opportunity to learn safe firearms handling and
basic marksmanship,
in a relaxed atmosphere, and meet new friends with a common interest in
the shooting sports.
Handgun training
Training
by NRA-certified instructors is offered in all aspects of handgun use.
We offer many technical
levels to advance the shooter’s knowledge and skills: basic
firearms safety, CCW classes for
concealed carry, and IDPA techniques from basic to advanced tactical.
Hal and Jean Glassen Memorial Match
The
Glassen Match is designed as a family event. It is a .22 rimfire rifle
match with six classifications:
Youth (fired at 25 yards), Junior (fired at 50 yards), Adult (fired at
100 yards), Senior,
Parent-Child, and Family. Families may enter as many classes as are

Four plaques will be awarded in each of the six classifications.

who fought in
extremely severe weather conditions in the battle of the Chosin
Reservoir in Korea during November and
December of 1950. Held in December, this match is restricted to M1
Garand Rifles and M1 Carbines only.
