All about Alliance Rifle Club

Facilities and Ranges:

• Primary Focus: The club is structured to support NRA Highpower Rifle Competition, indicating a serious focus on competitive marksmanship rather than casual public shooting.
• Ranges: It features two primary, multi-use outdoor ranges:
  • A 1,000-yard long-range course with below-grade pits and target hoist systems.
  • A 600-yard mid-range course with firing points available at 200, 300, 500, and 600 yards.
• The ranges are optimized for position shooting (prone, kneeling, offhand) on tree-lined terrain, often compared to the professional match infrastructure of premier facilities like Camp Perry.

• Instruction: The club is primarily designed for experienced competition-level shooters and does not widely advertise public training or civilian-focused instruction.
