Winchester Canyon Gun Club is committed to working with local Law Enforcement, Fire Departments, First Responders as well as the US Forest Service. We have a special relationship with each of these departments working together to educate the public and our members on the importance of Firearm Safety. In fact, WCGC donates many days each year for the free usage of our ranges to local Law Enforcement, Fire Departments, First Responders as well as the US Forest Service for firearm practice, safety and training. For those Active Law Enforcement and Military, WCGC offers discounted memberships and fees while personally shooting at our range.

Winchester Canyon Gun Club is dedicated to the public and it's members to learn, practice and challenge your marksmanship skills within all national, state and local firearm safety standards. Please go to our SAFETY PAGE for information regarding our commitment to firearm safety.

Winchester Canyon Gun Club has onsite, during public hours (Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays), certified Range Safety Officers at each of its ranges for everyones safety. Before becoming a member, each member applicant is put thru an online safety briefing as well as an in-person safety briefing by one of our trained and certified Range Safety Officers. All member applicants must prove to our Range Safety Officer during the in-person briefing their knowledge and competency with handling a firearm safely before their membership its approved.

Weather

If the weather is foggy, and you can't see the impact berms, it is NOT SAFE to shoot. If you look at this weather station and the humidity level is about 90% or higher, the club is fogged in. We are working on getting a weather camera set up so you will be able to take a look at the current range conditions. We are making progress on getting our weather station back online, and are hopeful it will be back operational soon.
