KV Rifle & Pistol Club indoor season underway

January 20, 2022

The Kootenai Valley Rifle and Pistol Club and Junior Rifle Club’s indoor competitive shooting seasons are underway! The clubs compete in area matches and with more distant clubs through a tournament where scores shot on our home range are compiled via email. The Junior Rifle Club is active in promoting marksmanship, competitive target shooting and safe gun handling.

The members use precision .22 rifles and pistols for accurate shooting at a target 50 feet away.

The Clubs want to recognize contributions and assistance from local groups and individuals.

The local Eagles Club has again made a significant donation to the Kootenai Valley Junior Rifle Club! The Eagles Club has been a consistent supporter and the Rifle Club greatly appreciates their support! Bob Hobbs from the Kootenai Valley Sportsman’s Club framed a mural for the Shooting Club entry, Bob Young and Terry Carson helped with mounting. Bonners Ferry Glass donated the four by eight foot pane of glass and Jon Meadows donated the mural. A nice addition to the entry!

Bill Leach, Senior Rifle Club member, covered the entry and steps with carpet to improve the look and safety of the stairs. Ryan Comer and Than Widner installed new lights over part of the meeting room. This greatly brightened the record keeping and target scoring area!

The Adult Rifle and Pistol Club and Junior shooting programs shoot indoors during the winter months and are always eager to welcome new members! If interested, contact Tom Daniel at (208) 290-1151 or Don Jordan at (208) 610-0226.
