The Clairton Sportsmen rifle section is a very active and
varied facet of our club. The outdoor range has 10 firing
benches with targets set at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards. This
range offers a great place to sight in rifles, muzzle loaders,
pistols, and shotguns (slugs only). The range is open to members
who may bring one guest. The range is open year round from 9:00
A.M. till dusk. This is a paper target range and is for single
round firing only.
You may bring out .22 rim fire swinger targets but the reactive
swinger targets must be placed in front of the existing targets
and then removed when you are done. From the benches we also
host a great cast bullet program fired during the last weekends
of the month. The
200 and 300 yard Competition range offers 10 firing points and
is open only under the supervision of a designated range
officer. CSC is
affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the NRA and
the PA State Rifle and Pistol Association and holds several
high-power competition matches throughout the spring, summer, and
fall. We host a John C. Garand Match that is sanctioned through
the CMP and have recently held state championship matches. Along
with these matches, we include several .22-rimfire silhouette
and long range matches. The indoor rifle/archery range offers
50-foot target shooting on Thursday evenings at 7:00P.M. These
matches typically begin on the second Thursday of November and
end on the second Thursday in March. This is a great program to
learn firearm safety, proper techniques for competitive
shooting, and just a great way to have some fun. Juniors are
encouraged to participate, often the starting age is 10 years
old, but adults are welcome as well. We encourage parents to
stay and watch their children learn.
