Seitzland Rifle Club offers opportunities to enjoy many of the shooting sports. This booklet is intended to provide an overview of what is available to members and their guests. It also provides a single source for the rules, traditions, safety provisions, and resources of the club.
Ranges are available for high power rifle, small bore rifle, rifle and pistol silhouette, and informal shotgun shooting. The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, the Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program. NRA registered and approved tournaments are scheduled throughout the year in small bore rifle and pistol silhouette. CMP sanctioned high power matches are also fired throughout the year.
When the club was founded more than fifty years ago, the primary objective was “…. the encouragement of organized rifle shooting,… a better knowledge …of the safe handling and proper care of firearms, as well as improved marksmanship.” These goals remain primary today. We all enjoy “plinking”, but there is more to be enjoyed in shooting than just expending ammunition. Random shooting without regard to score or group size is discouraged. For this reason, all members are encouraged to participate in organized competitions and training sessions. Volunteers are always needed to help with competitions and other events if you are unable to shoot.
All of the ranges, except for the sighting range with concrete benches, are used for registered tournaments, so it is important that they be maintained in first-class condition. If you cause damage or observe damage by others, please repair the damage or promptly report the damage to a club officer and always report offenders who damage club facilities to a club officer.
