Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol Club
Thank you for your interest in Hoosier Hills
Rifle & Pistol Club (HHRPC). To help acquaint you with our organization and
it’s activities, I have attached the last newsletter and two shooting
schedules. To quote our members "If it goes boom, we shoot it".
Rimfire, centerfire, pistol, rifle, shotgun and highpower service rifle, on
paper, silhouettes, steel plates, clay birds, and bowling pins. In addition to
our weekly shooting schedule, we conduct monthly NRA approved Highpower Matches
and a monthly Bowling Pin event and may expand to include a NRA sanctioned Rimfire
Rifle and Pistol event.
The club has been associated with the NRA
since 1959 and oral history having the club shooting since the 1930's. We
currently have about 170 members, which continues to improve each year. Each
member is required to join the NRA within one year of joining HHRPC, pay the
annual dues of $75 per year, and attend one monthly meeting and range
orientation. Additional family members are ten dollars per person. A junior
memberships, between 18 and 21, cost is fifteen dollars, Once you are voted
into the club, you gain full access to our outdoor and indoor ranges and an
invaluable exchange of information on competitive shooting and the associated
techniques, equipment, and supplies.
Our indoor range has 10 shooting positions where
we hold our winter matches and an adjacent meeting room for our monthly winter
meetings. It is located near the Columbus Airport. Our outdoor range has a
covered firing line with fifteen position for 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 yards
matches where we hold our summer matches, meetings, Highpower, and Bowling pin
matches. The outdoor range is located eight miles west of
Thursday night
matches typically cost two dollars with the winnings from each week distributed
via the "Lewis Point System". This system assigns award points to the
shooters and is based upon the number who shoots in each match. If 5 people
shoot, then the 1 and 2 place receive points. However, if ten people
participate, the 1,2, 5, and 6 place shooters received Lewis points which
allows shooters of various skills to receive Lewis points. The actual value of
each point is equal to about one dollar and is based upon the year's match proceeds
and number of shooters. The Awards Points checks are presented at our annual
awards banquet where we also present our plaques and medals earned at various
matches through out the year. We also raffle off one to two thousand dollars of
shooting equipment and door prizes, which is a major fund-raiser for the club.
