Komen Shoot Annsounced: The 2010 Komen Shoot for the Cure will be held June 26. Shotgun, pistol, rifle, and archery events will be held. All proceeds will go toward breast cancer research and services. As usual, there will be many door prizes including a Springfield XD9 and a Ruger 10/22. This is a great event for a great cause. Please come out to support the cause and our club.

Magtech Cleanrange Ammo Use Suspended at Indoor Range: Until further notice Magtech "Cleanrange" factory ammunition is no longer approved for use at the SMGC indoor range.  Several large bullet fragments were recently found which suggest that the plating on these rounds may be thicker than we have thought it was.  We will be sectioning some of this ammunition to measure the thickness of the copper plating to determine if this is a problem.  Until the results of those tests are back the use of Magtech "Cleanrange" factory ammunition will no longer be approved for use at the indoor range only.  Note that this is the Magtech ammunition that comes in the green and white box with the large "Cleanrange" logo on it.  We will make a final determination on this issue as soon as possible.  Thanks for your cooperation.

M1s for vets: SMGC would like to recognize the service of our veterans by awarding a refurbished M1 Garand rifle to a veteran who has served since 9-11-01. For an application form, please click here.
