To all new members and renewal memberships:
Welcome to Sand & Sage Rifle and Pistol Club.
We were formed in 1962 by a handful of members interested in shooting sports. We have seen some rough times, built five different ranges on leased land, and now thanks to a lot of dedicated members, we now have the ownership of the 160 acres our range currently occupies. We generally conduct shooting activities during all months when the weather allows us access to our range. All activities conducted by the club are open to any club member and their guests.
The most asked question we get is “when can I use the range?”
Many of our competitions are promoted in the newsletter and will be
included in our notification process. The outdoor range is open year
round and is utilized on a first come first served basis. The only
exceptions are when a sanctioned competition is being held or law
enforcement is having training. These shoots usually are common
knowledge to the membership. Our range is occasionally used by the
Garden City PD for training purposes. All ranges may be used
concurrently with the exception of the West ranges #1 & #2. Our
facility has been constructed to U.S. Army and NRA safety zones between
ranges.
Protective glasses and ear protection is required on all ranges.
NO bottles or cans are to be shot on the range except in the designated plinking pit (#14). This pit was specifically built for plinker’s. This is the ONLY range you may shoot and leave your targets where they fall. Please pick up your own litter and targets on the other ranges and deposit them in the trash barrels provided. Remember, ABSOULTELY no cans or bottles are to be shot anywhere on the range except the plinking pit!!
Do NOT send a non-member to use the range unaccompanied by a member. This will be considered trespassing. Do NOT give out the combination to the range to non-members.
We have running water and electrical hookups for campers – come enjoy.
We hold several competition shooting events. Listed are some that we currently shoot:
- Civilian Marksmanship Program high power shoots
- 22 Bowling Pins/ Big Bore Bowling Pins / Combat
- 3 gun tactical shoots
- USPSA/ICORE pistol shoots
- Cowboy Action Shoots
- Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (BPCR)
- Special events as scheduled
We also welcome your junior shooters (ages up to 18 yrs) to participate in our Junior club – We furnish guns and equipment for all the Junior programs. We have a very active Air Rifle program at this time, with usage of air rifles provided by the club.
