Palomino Club Starts 2nd Junior Program

The Club, in cooperation with the Nevada State Rifle and Pistol Association, now has 2 separate Junior shooting programs. First, is a beginner & novice shooting program on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday nights at the Impact Indoor Range on Coney Island Dr. We emphasize safety and teach basic rifle skills in a fun but low competition environment. Juniors must be between 10 and 15 for this program. Our other program is an intermediate riflery program for older (13 up to 20 years old) and somewhat more experienced shooters seeking a challenging competition smallbore program.  This program meets Thursday evenings at McQueen High School.  Openings are now available for 6 kids in each program. Parental involvement is encouraged.  Anyone interested in joining either of our programs please contact:

Shooting Sports and Scouting

Venture Scouting is a program of the Boy Scouts of America for youth between the ages of 14 and 20 years old.  A new unit is being organized in the Reno-Sparks area which will be sponsored by the Nevada Rifle and Pistol Association which will have firearms safety and demonstration as its base program.  The unit is currently seeking interested boys and adult leaders who would like to participate in the program.  Please contact Scouting@NSRPA.org for additional information or to express your interest.

Las Vegas Shooting Range

 A federal bill that would provide land for a public shooting range near Las Vegas was introduced by Nevada lawmakers in September, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
 The bill, promised earlier this year by U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, was submitted by Reid (D-Nev) and John Ensign (R-Nev), and in the House by Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-Nev.) 
  It would grant a 2,880-acre parcel, about a mile northeast of Floyd Lamb State Park and north of Moccasin Road, to Clark County for the 
specific purpose of a range. Clark County would pay nothing for the property, which is now managed by the Bureau of Land Management. 
  Southern Nevada shooters pushing for the range envision a complex serving all shooting sports, on the order of the famed Ben Avery Range at Phoenix.
