All about Zia Rifle and Pistol Club Range

Facilities and Ranges: The ZR&PC operates primarily as an outdoor range complex. To manage costs and maintain its focus on shooting, the facility is minimal, explicitly noting that it does not provide clubhouses, a pro shop, dedicated range offices, or running water. Portable latrine facilities are available.

The club is designed to host a number of organized shooting activities, matches, and general recreation, indicating a diverse range setup to accommodate:

• Pistol and Rifle shooting: The name confirms a focus on both disciplines, likely including various outdoor ranges for different distances.
• Junior Division: The club maintains a Junior Division with an indoor range (noted as a 6-point indoor range in some contexts) to support youth programs like the NRA Junior Olympic Shooting Program, 4H, and BSA.

Services and Programs: The club offers numerous services and organized activities, relying on members' sportsmanship and internal organizations to support its programs.

• Training Classes: The club, often in conjunction with affiliates like Zia Firearms Training, offers a variety of courses, including:
  • New Mexico Concealed Handgun Carry Class.
  • Various levels of Handgun Skills classes (Level I and II).
  • Customized instruction for close-quarters handgun skills, tactical rifle, and shotgun for home defense.
  • National Rifle Association (NRA) classes (Basic Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Personal Protection, etc.).
• Competitions: The club regularly hosts a schedule of organized shooting activities and matches, with all members encouraged to participate. These matches cover numerous pistol and rifle disciplines.
