Thank you I am looking for a club/Range like some of the others where they give you a key and you can shoot from whatever set hours it is hard for me to go on set days and driving from Hemet. But it looks like a very nice range maybe I will be able to make it soon.

[1911-CV]

That's the way Palm Springs Gun Club works, but they don't have a distance range for rifles right now. Matches there are still being cancelled due to CV-19.

It doesn't take much longer to get there from Hemet and the wait for membership was pretty short last time I checked. Here is their contact PSGC

[LMan57]

Thank you I will check it out.

[LMan57]

Damn, they ask for one of these and I don't know anyone in the club.

Referral: Please provide one of the following:
1. Referral name and email of current PSGC Member of 2 years in good standing.
2. Referral name and contact info of a PSGC Business Member in good standing.
3. Attach a reference letter from a non-related person attesting to the character of the applicant

[1911-CV]

It's any one of the listed items... surely you know a non-related person who can attest to your good character, right?

Yes, I do thanks.

[1911-CV]

Our February event was the biggest since Nov. 2019!

The day started cool, but warmed quickly to a beautiful desert morning. 37 shooters with 47 guns and done before 11. Great time had by all.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

Not as many shooters, but a good turnout. The ammo shortage is hurting, but folks are coming out of their CV-19 foxholes.

Good time had by all as the morning warmed quickly to t-shirt weather.

Here's the Video

Note, she is 6 and she wasn't last

[1911-CV]

We had a great April match. Our 6 year old competitor was back. Beautiful day. Better numbers than last month, not as many as February.

Here's the Video

[1911-CV]

The May match was great with perfect clear air, wonderful temperatures and no wind to speak of. Small group though, smallest since April 2017. Only 25 guns came out to play

Maybe the ammo shortage is getting tighter again?

Anyway, Here is the video

Also, there was an Open House from 10 - 2 on May 22. Hope you stopped by to check things out! Perfect day and a capacity crowd at mid-day. Lots of prizes and demos. Good times

[1911-CV]

The EZ-Ups and water in chests of ice were out in full force as 26 guns came out to play for the June match. It was pretty warm, but everyone had a good time and we wrapped up a little after 10.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

Warm, but not super hot for the July match. Missed our match director and the scores got fouled up a bit. Still, good time for all and most squads were done by 10 am.

Here's the video

[LMan57]

Thanks for the video.

[1911-CV]

August was a great event, though a bit light on shooters. 27 guns came out to play and we were done by 10:15. As a family oriented range, we're glad to see more of the younger crowd come out.

Here's the video

[LMan57]

You guys had a good time thanks, for sharing your video.

[1911-CV]

A very smooth match in September. Still light on shooters even with great weather and more hope of finding ammo.

Here's the video

Come on out and fill up a squad in October. Sign up is at the top.

[1911-CV]

Great October match in the Morongo Valley. We were fortunate to have a group of Marines out to join us.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

Another great day in the desert to kick off the toy drive and shoot some steel.

Video is here

[1911-CV]

You've got to see at least the first 2 clips; a 10-year-old shows us how it's done! First, 6 knock down plates with 6 rounds in under 5 seconds. Then TEN rounds to take out TEN whirling targets.

Video here

[1911-CV]

Still a bit on the cool side in January (look at the bundled up folks), but a good day at the range for our hardy band.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

The sun and warm winds were kind at our Feb 19 event, bringing more shooters out to play.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

Good time, good weather, good people, good shooting at our March event.

Here's the video:

Ignore the gas prices and come on out on April 16.

[LMan57]

Nice looks like you all had a good day.

[1911-CV]

Our April match was a great day, with perfect conditions.

Here's the video: video

[1911-CV]

35 guns came out to play on a beautiful May day in the desert. Our long time match director is retiring and handing over the reigns to a new crew. No video (yet) as we work through the transition.

[LMan57]

Thanks for the update Stay safe.

[1911-CV]

Pretty small turnout today, though the conditions were great with temps in the high 70's to low 80's.

Those who came had a great time. Come join us next time (link is in first post).

Here's some of today's action

[LMan57]

Looks like you had a very good day.

[1911-CV]

We had 31 guns out to play on a hotish day in the desert. 90 when we started at 8:00 and 94 at 10:30 as we were breaking down.

Everyone had a great day!

Come join us next month. The EZ-UP's and free icy water make the difference.

What is the date my wife is having surgery the 23rd.

[1911-CV]

Come on out on Aug 20 to get some trigger time.

All our best wishes to you and your wife.

On my list to do this..

For a ' First ' time at something like this
Decades ....... of shooting
And setting up my own steel target course
Do you recommend a .22 pistol ?
[ I have Ruger 22 / 45 and Kimber 1911 with .22 conversion slide ]

[1911-CV]

.22 ammo is less expensive and makes for a good time. 5 mags helps quite a bit (5 strings of 5 targets per string for most stages) if you have more mags for one pistol over another, that might be a decider.

[LMan57]

I 'm looking for a range at least 100+ yards to shoot my rifles.

[1911-CV]

Bring them along. Range goes out to 300 yds. There is steel out there to hit.

[1911-CV]

We had a smaller group on a much nicer day. Early morning cloud cover, cooler temperatures, even a breeze; very nice morning at the range. We were done by 10:00.

Fun for all who came out. Here's the video

Come join us next month. We'll still have EZ-UP's (if needed) and free icy water.
