Important Reminder: We remind you that this is YOUR Club and YOU have the right and obligation to question anyone that you believe is not a member. Guests must be
accompanied by a member while on Club property – No Exceptions!!

Another month has come and gone the weather is getting cooler at night and day. This is the perfect time to
get to the range and burn some powder. The matches will be more enjoyable to watch now that it is cooler.
Fall is the perfect time to be on the range shooting or just be-
ing outside enjoying life. One word of caution: when setting
your targets early morning or late evening when it is cool at
night, watch out for our resident snake population that may be
trying to get warm on a sunny surface. The best thing to do is
back off. The snake is more scared than you are. If you leave it
alone, it will leave you alone. We have to coexist with them as
they were there before us. If by chance they don't want to
leave, call Jackie LaPradd at 540-797-3961. He will come
and try to find it, and move it to a better location. Trying to kill
it just might get you bitten.
So, till next time, keep your powder dry and bring the kids,
grand kids, nieces, nephews, friends, and wives out to shoot.
Thanks,
John (Bill) Cash
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Utah Concealed Carry Firearm Permit Training
Virginia and 35 other states recognize the Utah Concealed Firearm Permit. That widespread recognition makes it good to have as an interstate traveler. Utah permit holders may legally carry while driving through many contiguous states. Those who plan on carrying out of state may find it very useful to have this as a second permit. The 4-hour class required to apply for this permit will be offered at the RRRC clubhouse. Interested applicants should already hold a Virginia Concealed Carry Permit and have completed NRA First Steps Pistol or an equivalent pistol class. All necessary materials will be furnished. Club members and non-members are welcome. Cost is $55.00. The course can be taken at 2:00 pm on October 18, November 16, or December 14. Please contact Charles Woolwine at [email protected] for details.
NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting Saturday, October 25 / Roanoke Rifle & Revolver Club / 8:45 am – 5:00 pm
Basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for owning and using a pistol safely
Efficient, effective handgun training
Learn about pistol parts and operation, ammunition, gun safety and shooting fundamentals
Every year we are faced with members who claim that work hours were not made available to them. For this reason,
we will be posting assignments as they become available throughout the year to ensure that all members are aware of
these opportunities.
ROAD AND RANGE MONITORS This program was a huge hit with the general membership, match directors, as well as our neighbors. Because of this,
we will be continuing to monitor the roads and ranges for many of our 2014 matches. I would like to add that virtually
100% of the members that participated in this program commented that it was a quite enjoyable way to get in their
work hours. I urge you to please consider signing up so we can keep this program running.
CLEANUP CREW I currently have one position available for the Cleanup Crew. Interested parties should have a
truck or some other means to haul barrels to the dumpster. This is one of our most important
work assignments since it has an immense impact on how the grounds look to both members
and visitors. Please consider stepping up and helping out so we can keep the club looking nice.
Please contact me for further information regarding any of the listed positions, or to discuss duties in further detail. Assignments will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.
RRRC is selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a Kel-Tec .22 magnum Pistol. This is a special National Rifle Association Serial # Edition, complete with 2 magazines and a hard case. Proceeds will benefit RRRC Shooting Programs. Tickets are on sale through July 15, 2015, or when all tickets are sold! A limited number of only 500 tickets is available. Each ticket is $5 or 5 tickets for $20. To purchase your ticket (s) or to obtain additional information, contact Bill Padgett at (540) 353-7050 or at [email protected].
Thank you for supporting RRRC programs!
Smallbore Match - Modified October 4th - Range C – Rifle distances 40-60-77-100 meters
This is a shoot-a-lot match and have a lot of fun.! You may reenter once. 60 rifle shots at the silhouettes and 25 pistol shots at 25 yards. Any sight, any firearm, .22LR, no magnums. The object is to knock all the silhouettes down with the fewest shots. There are two chickens, three pigs, two turkeys and three rams. Call Harvey Bulaski on 540.343.9040 for information.

COWBOY FAST DRAW “Boothill News”
RRRC and “Boothill” attract some of the “Fastest” Gunfighters East of the Mississippi at our scheduled Cowboy Fast Draw matches! The East is the fastest growing area of the country for our sport and Old Dominion Fast Draw continues to lead the way!
One of the Top Guns in the country is a member of RRRC and is on a roll defeating Gunfighters in every state he visits!! Our very own Robert Hurt, aka Bob Ed Pain re-cently made the trip to attend Kentucky’s very first State Championship. He met some tough seasoned Gunfighters and “whooped um all”!!! That’s right, Bob Ed Pain is now the Cowboy Fast Draw Association’s (CFDA) 2014 Kentucky State Champion!! He is the CFDA’s 2014 Champion of “FOUR” states!! Kentucky, Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas!!! This is a big achievement! And we at RRRC and ODFD are very proud of him!
If you would like to see Bob Ed in action, come and visit us on Boothill! Our next Cowboy Fast Draw match scheduled there is Sunday, October 19th! It will be “Sombrero Sunday”!! Any gunfighter that shows up to compete that day wearing a sombrero gets choice of shooting lanes throughout the day! We are also giving out awards for the best-dressed “South Of The Border” attire on our Gunfighters! Registration for the match begins at 8:30am, the Safety Meeting begins at 9:30, and the match begins at 10am. Come & see the action! Meet Bob Ed Pain and a bunch of the other Gunfighters!!
We have two (2) practice nights in October: Wednesday the 8th and Wednesday the 15th from 6-9pm. If you would like to try it out, come on up to Boothill and we will give you a few pointers and get you on the line. You never know, you could be the next Wyatt Earp or Doc Holiday!! We even have extra six guns and holsters to loan for the evening. For info on Cowboy Fast Draw, call “Ringo” (aka Jeff Duncan) at 540-819-1697 or email at [email protected].
We have had a good year so far, albeit attendance has been light. There are still two matches left,
the fourth Saturday in October and the fourth Saturday in November. We need new shooters! High
power can be a tough sport, but it is very rewarding. So all of you who are curious...come on out and
find out! New shooters always welcome! I'm always only a phone call or e-mail away and glad to
answer questions. See you on the range! Robert Wilson, 540-875-7554; [email protected]
BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGE RIFLE SILHOUETTE
September’s match had a light turn-out and great weather which made for a perfect relax-
ing summer day. Both for shooters and target setters. We have one more match sched-
uled for 2017, on Sunday 19 October. We have room for more shooters and target
setters. It’s a relaxed match and we will take time with new shooters. Come out and see
what the fun is about and ask for a Sharps for Christmas. Call Joe Davis at 540 776 0679
or [email protected] for more information, or call Santa for the new Sharps.
Join us on October 26th on A Range for our last match of the year. Come see what we do so you can
put your request in for Christmas! Whatever your interests are in the field of shooting, there is a
shooting venue here at RRRC that you can enjoy. Remember, it's your Range. Use it. And leave it in
better shape than you found it.
