Estacada Rod and Gun Club

Went to the Sight-in days in September. Went Monday 9/18/23, arrived about 10:30. It was great to be able to go on a weekday. The Range was not too busy, only 3 shooters when my Son-in-law & I arrived. 9 volunteers working the Range, so lots of personal attention. SAFETY was instructed from the moment we arrived. We were met in the parking lot and informed "only 1 rifle per person at a time, no sleds, they have blocks & sandbags, and carry rifles unloaded & pointed up." Have ear protection ready or on when approaching and the Range is Hot, it is loud! Sign-in at the desk, $5.00 per rifle. Rifle & ammo were inspected & safety tag inserted in the barrel with the action open. Assigned a bench/target Lane and allowed to set up. Targets at 25 yards & 100 yards. Bore sighting is also available & they were very helpful. All of the volunteers were very knowledgeable and experienced. Helped me when I asked for it or as they saw I needed some help, Thank You very much!! They simply stayed back and observed or scoped the target hits, pinning them on a target next to your stand with push pins so you can see where you are hitting (or missing). We worked in to zero on the 25 yard target, then adjusted the scope for 100 yards and adjusted shooting position for that range. Very good advice on how to adjust the scope and confirmed my mental calculations. 100 yard shots were right on! As I said, SAFTEY is paramount! You are not allowed to touch any weapons while the Range is Cold and targets are changed, not even to adjust the scope. I can't say enough about the volunteers, they were experienced, knowledgeable and ready to help if needed. I heard one tell others that he had been observing a shooter who took one shot at 25 yards, bullseye, then one shot at 100 yards, bullseye again. He said he was ready to go & the volunteer asked him "Don't you want to shoot any more?" Shooter answered "Its not going to get any better than that." Satisfied with his sighting-in & didn't need any help. Thanks everyone for the help & pleasant experience!

Nice range, not as good as Douglas ridge. They are a club, so you have to be a member, or know someone who is to shoot here. The range is no more then 100 yards, so a small range. The ranges are only for rifles. The volunteers range masters are part of the club and are quite knowledgeable.
