UPCOMING MEETINGS ANNOUNCEMENT
December change in meeting place. On a one time basis, the December 8, 2011 board meeting will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Fall City, 4304 337th Pl. SE Fall City, WA 98024. It isn’t hard to find, as it is the tallest building in town, two stories and painted white. It is just a block off the Redmond Fall City Road. This is a good meeting to attend as you may hear from a candidate or two for office, and hear a discussion of a proposed bylaws amendment. Plus this is a good time to renew your membership and buy a raffle ticket or two or more.
The January club annual General Meeting will be on January 12, 2012, at our usual meeting place, Preston Community Center. This will be the last day to submit renewals without running the risk of a fee, and the day that ballots will be tallied. If you can’t attend, please submit your renewal and ballot by mail to the club address, PO Box 309, Fall City WA 98024. The January meeting is also your last chance to buy raffle tickets for Gordon Townsend’s beautiful handmade knife. Proceeds to the Juniors Program.
New Members
We are accepting new members and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Please note that if a new member wishes to bring his or her spouse along, there is a significant discount for the second person, but the spouse must complete an application, belong to NRA (very inexpensive for a spouse) and take the same safety training. Additional details are available on the membership page (click here).
Hunter Education
The first session starts on March 14 this year. Check the calendar for more information. It will be offered several times more this year. This is a recognized program that is accepted by many other states. Classroom instruction is conducted at the Snoqualmie Police Department.
Police Use of Range
From time to time local police agencies ask for exclusive use of our range. Club policy is to grant these requests where possible. Check the calendar when making plans to visit the range.

SVRC is a non-profit, member-supported corporation with over
600 members. We are National Rifle Association
affiliated, and support the NRA in its many activities, including youth programs
and the Eddie Eagle program to promote gun safety in our schools. All SVRC
members are required to also hold membership in the NRA, the premiere firearms
education and gun rights organization in the world.
Incorporated in 1946, the Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club is more than 50 years
old as a recognized entity, but our roots go
back to shortly after World War I, when returning veterans would gather in the
Snoqualmie Valley to maintain their rifle shooting skills. See these Minutes of the Snoqualmie City Council dated January 24, 1927!
Today, that old spirit lives on with SVRC-hosted monthly competitions in a wide variety of rifle and pistol shooting
events. Besides these popular group events, SVRC is a safe, scenic, and
pleasant place to sight in and gain proficiency
with hunting rifles, hunter or self-protection education, and enjoy
the shooting sports in a convenient, natural setting. Our excellent Juniors Program
promotes safety and marksmanships skills for young rifle shooters. Events
such as Blackpowder are fun for all ages.
SVRC is a private club that is not accepting new members until further notice.
Upcmo
Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club facilities, all located behind a locked gate
with members-only access, include a 180-yard rifle range, a separate 50-yard
pistol range, and several smaller shooting bays used for Action
Pistol, and Cowboy Action Shooting competitions. Both main ranges are covered for all-weather use. The
facility has a telephone for emergency use.
Members have access to the range seven days per week. The range hours are
7:00 AM through 9:00 PM, Monday-Friday, and 9:00AM through 9:00PM on the
weekends. Some scheduled events may use the entire range
facility, so individual shooting practice may be restricted or prohibited during
those times. Please check the calendar
when planning your range visits.
SVRC hosts regular events and activities in a variety of shooting
disciplines, including:
-
Action Pistol: Monthly competitions promote handgun safety, marksmanship,
defensive skills, and fun!
-
Blackpowder: SVRC is home to the Bear Creek Muzzleloaders, one of the top
blackpowder clubs in the country.
-
CMP Highpower Rifle: Monthly competitions and frequent clinics and
demonstrations draw shooters from around the region.
-
Juniors Program: Shooting
instruction for young shooters.
-
NRA certified training classes: With NRA-certified instructors and
an active education program, SVRC has a regular program of classes and
instruction in hunter safety, home firearms safety, basic pistol and rifle
marksmanship, and personal protection.
Guests are welcome at all SVRC events, and to use range facilities when
accompanied by an SVRC member in good standing. Parents and guardians, you are required to keep your children at all times next to you and wearing standard ear and eye protection.
