The Tucson Rifle Club supports the carriage and use of firearms for any lawful purpose.
The proposed regulation change should restore the rights of law abiding citizens and gun owners. Law-abiding gun owners, once again would be permitted to transport and carry firearms for all lawful purposes on most Department of Interior lands, just as they do now on United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands.
This change in the Code of Federal Regulations should provide uniformity across all federal lands, making them consistent with the laws and regulations of the States, that the Department of Interior lands are located in.
Current regulations fail to account for the significant change in state laws since 1984. These Federal regulations that were established in the early 1980's should recognize the change in state laws and follow their lead.

Every second Sunday, Southern Arizona Practical
Shooters (SAPS) :-) will hold their monthly match on the TRC Action ranges.
This group has United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) affiliate membership pending. Last Sunday's match was a hoot. The weather
was warm and the drive to the range long, but that didn't stop this group from turning out in force. Five stages, including one on the long bay that would raise the heart rate of a cross country runner! The match was well run, with official score keeping and a good turn out of folk helping to set up and break down.
SAPS concentrates on pistol and revolver stages only, so you long gun folks best check out some of the other matches that are run on the TRC Action ranges as well.
One nice aspect of USPSA affiliation is that they have different age brackets and handgun classifications, including a handgun category named Production. That suits me fine as I shoot what I carry and that's pretty much factory stock.
Next month I'll bring my carry piece as well as my camera! Welcome aboard, SAPS.

New Closing times on those days:
June -- 8:00 p.m.

August -- 7:00 p.m.

The TRC Board of Directors said thanks and goodbye to our outgoing Club President, Will Schmall, in a small ceremony at last night's monthly Board meeting.
Will has served as TRC President for more years than I can remember--or Will cares to remember. I believe his tenure goes back before 2000 (at least we have pictures on this site to that date).
Will's looking remarkable fit given his short period out of the Presidency. TRC will do that to you.
Hopefully, Will now has the time to do a bit more shooting and a lot less worrying. Many thanks from all the membership at TRC.

Due to the commitment of most of our coaches and regular shooters to
the Washington's Birthday Team Match at Ben Avery on the same day,
TRC's February John C Garand Match scheduled for Sunday 17 Feb 08 has been
cancelled.
The next TRC Garand Match will be on our normal Third Sunday 16 March
2008.

Game and Fish showed up yesterday at Three Point Rifle Range (unannounced) with men and equipment to finish the work begun last year on the 500 meter Silhouette range's east berm. On the plus side, this construction will produce a safer environment for our neighbors to the East. On the downside, their is little time to announce the closure of ranges that are affected.
While work is in progress, the 100 yard sight-in range adjacent to the 500m range will be closed. Additionally, note that Border Patrol is scheduled to use the Blackpowder range adjacent to the 100 yard site-in range Monday through Friday, 9a.m. - noon. The bottom line is that open shooting positions on the public ranges will be difficult or impossible to schedule (especially in the mornings) for duration of construction.
Work is estimated to be completed no sooner than Monday, January 21st, but may extend a bit longer depending on progress. Please call the Rangehouse for current range status (520-822-5189; Cells: 603-7873 or 603-7891) before coming out to Three Points--especially if you are planning on using any of the above ranges from now through next week.
