Welcome to Wood County Rifle and Pistol Club

All of the dates and events  are still pending for this year due to the Pandemic and will be changed when they come in from the people running them.

Attention New Visitors !     You Must Read everything if You want all the Information !!

Open the application form and read it on both sides and the next few pages there after.

Thanks for visiting our website , it's geared for general information for our members  

and an idea of what our club is about to visitors , no bells and whistles . 

This is an all volunteer organization and requires all members to participate in keeping it running

 for the benefit of the members using it.   

We are open to join again since our closing  in January due to the situation nationwide

 starting as of April . Most of the events held under normal conditions are not active until further notice. Go to the application link down below and read everything ,

print it and bring to the club on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. , we will review it and go from there.

It's always a good idea to come back to this site regularly for future changes and event dates

 this a normal occurrence but not often. 

           From time to time dates can change due to cancellations  or pushed to another time during the course of the year. 

All  dates scheduled as you see them will be adjusted starting January 1, for the  year 2021 

Thank You All

Mike Stanojevich , Secretary

For those first time readers , I will repeat that this is an all volunteer organization, our doors are not open to the public, you have to join our establishment to be eligible for entry, that means coming to the monthly meeting to decide so. The events that take place are with our own club volunteers running and maintaining the facilities when needed. All incoming donations and revenue is used for upkeep and utilities etc.

We have scheduled activities , outdoor and indoor range events throughout the year, the scheduled times and dates will be added for the  remainder of the year as we update our new website. This year's events will be updated when all information gradually comes in , the public is welcome to come to the monthly meetings for more useful information when we resume meetings in April.
