Calendar - Renton Fish & Game Club

Sponsored by Pinto’s Gun Shop, Renton Fish and Game Club is pleased to host a number of Kids’ Days at the range. Kids’ Days are designed to introduce young shooters to the sport of marksmanship and instill a sense of respect and responsibility toward firearms. Our members volunteer their time, firearms, and ammunition to help teach basic firearm safety and marksmanship skills to young shooters. Although there are range safety officers and volunteers on hand, parental supervision and involvement is required. Safety first. Everything else is second.

We provide a varying selection of rifles chambered in .22 Long Rifle. This small and inexpensive cartridge has very little recoil and is well suited for younger shooters. We also have a wide selection of targets for them to engage, including steel silhouettes, cans, clays, and other reactive targets. The more experienced shooters may choose to shoot targets all the way out to 200 yards. Occasionally, there may be a small centerfire rifle available for the older kids to shoot as well.

Plan on joining us for lunch at our BBQ Grill. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and pop will be available for purchase. All proceeds go towards future Kids Day events.

Pinto’s Gun Shop has donated a beautiful BRAND NEW .22 Rimfire Rifle. Each shooter will receive 1 raffle ticket. Raffle to be held at high noon September 19th. Each shooter will also receive 1 box of .22 ammo per day compliments of Diana Pinto.

Bring more .22 ammo with you, or buy from us for more shooting fun.

Short Range Precision Rimfire (SRPR at RFGC) is a monthly match held at the Renton Fish and Game Club. It is part of the NRL22 National Club Match program, so you get to shoot locally, but compete nationwide.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, SRPR at RFGC is where you can hone your marksmanship skills, demonstrate your abilities, and share information and experience with your fellow riflemen. SRPR at RFGC is not just shooting paper targets from the bench. We will be shooting targets from all positions, and from various types of barricades.

Stages are designed so different setups will excel in different stages. Your individual skill and familiarity with your rifle will be your best assets. Stages consist of a variety of shooting positions and reactive targets ranging from 50 to 100 yards for the official NRL22 stages. We also offer a couple bonus stages which can be out to 200 yards.

Required equipment:

Rifle chambered in .22LR, any action type (no .17HMR/HM2 or .22WMR at this time)
At least two magazines for your rifle, preferably at least 10 rounds each (Each stage is usually 10 rounds and is time limited. Magazines smaller than 10 rounds can be used but will be a disadvantage.)h
100 rounds of ammunition

Recommended equipment:

Shooting sling for your rifle
Shooting mat
Spotting scope (these will be shared, 2 or 3 per match is plenty)
Any other relevant equipment (bipods, bags, etc.) Our shooters are good about sharing their equipment, especially with newer competitors.

General recommendations:

Use a magnified optic
Use ammunition that your rifle likes
Know your elevation settings or holdovers for 50, 100, and 200 yards. Assistance in learning what your rifle does at each distance (known as developing your curve) is available.

Detailed rules for the match may be found here.

All rules are subject to change and may be modified by the match director.

Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP Website) is a bulls-eye target sport that is intended for US Service rifles and NRA match rifles. The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) replaced the Office of the Director of Civilian Marksmanship (ODCM) program ran by the Department of Defense.

CMP rules require a center-fire rifle with iron-sights and open bolt indicators. NRA High Power Rifle Rules also apply. Shooters will need a rifle that holds at least 5 rounds and can be reloaded quickly.

Matches are generally held the fourth Saturdays of the month from January through July. Start time is 8:45 AM and matches usually last about 3 hours. The course of fire is 88 rounds at 100 yards.

Entry fees are $10 for members and $15 to non-members. Only club members may use club M1 rifles and purchase ammo from the club for $88 for the match.

Club Rifles

The CMP Program has a number of Club M1 Garand rifles that are available for club members to borrow. Please call before the match to confirm availability of club rifles and ammunition. The rifle may be used by Club members only when the following provisions have been met:

The shooter must be a Club member.
The shooter must have previously participated in a CMP match or have taken a CMP workshop
The shooter must be familiar with the M1 Garand rifle and be able to safely demonstrate how to load, unload, make safe, and fire the rifle.
If the shooter is not familiar with the M1 Garand rifle, they may attend our workshop. We will introduce new shooters to the M1 Garand rifle. At the end of the course the shooter will be able to safely load, unload, make safe, and shoot the M1 rifle from Offhand, Sitting, Kneeling, and Prone positions using a military or web sling. Upon completion of the course, the shooter will be able to fully participate in the CMP matches and use a Club rifle.
It must be emphasized that the M1 Garand rifle weighs 10 pounds empty and is chambered in .30-06 caliber. Please consider the age, experience, and abilities of any shooter wishing to shoot a large, heavy, hard-recoiling rifle.
Any shooter who uses a Club M1 Garand rifle must stay after the match and clean the rifle that they used. This will take approximately 30-minutes after the match.
