All NWTFS members with an interest in improving their marksmanship are welcome to join the Pistol Club. Our primary objective is to provide an introduction to marksmanship and training at the local level. We hold two annual leagues, Spring and Fall, as well as a number of NRA sanctioned shooting events. We have 8 4-H certified instructors and 4 NRA certified instructors. Both group and private pistol instruction is available. All NRA members in the area, whether a member of NWTF&S or not are encouraged to attend and compete in our NRA sanctioned shoots. In addition to the leagues which start in March and September of each year and run 10 weeks on Tuesday nights, we have supervised range use permitted during the league. Range fee is $3.00 per evening and targets are furnished. Permitted guns are 22 pistols with standard velocity ammo and 32-45 cal. pistols with lead semi wad-cutter target cartridges. P and +P or other jacketed high velocity cartridges are not permitted. All shooters and observers must have hearing and eye protection while on the range. The range and all shooting are fully supervised for your safety. This is a great way to spend a family evening. Unsupervised youth under 12 are not permitted. Personal instruction and coaching are available.
