Good evening, fellow FDMR enthusiasts.

The time has come to get back on the range! We will be shooting this Saturday. The stages wintered well, but we haven’t had a workday yet. We do have some cleanup days planned, but I know we all want to shoot—so shoot we will.

If the forecast holds, the weather should be great, with lows in the 40s and highs in the 70s.

If you haven’t completed your annual registration yet, you can do so online. If needed, registration forms will also be available at sign-in.

Membership prices remain unchanged again this year: $25 for a single membership and $35 for a family membership.

Monthly shoot fees are also unchanged:

Non-members: $20 single / $30 couple

Members: $15 single / $25 couple

See you on the range,

Cactus Clark and the FDMR BOD

Good Morning fellow shooters. Please note that in order to not conflict with Zen’s scheduled we moved our first April shoot to Sunday April 12. You all are fortunate and can enjoy 2 great opportunities to shoot that weekend. Our apologies for the oversight on the conflict, but it was an easy fix.
