Long-range shooting events at new Rock Lake range

SHOOTING — Long-range shooting enthusiasts can push away from the reloading table and test their skills in a four-event series that start Saturday, May 31, at the new Rock Lake Rifle Range, 2356 Glorfield Rd., St. John, Washington .

A Fun Shoot to introduce others to the range will be held on Sunday, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

The Northwest Precision Steel Series Challenge has divisions for tactical and hunting class shooters, says organizer Doug Glorfield.

Tactical competitors will engage targets at distances of 175-1,250 yards in seven stations.  Hunting and youth shooters will do five stations at 150-600 yards.

Shooters will compete for cash prizes on Saturday and in the other series shoots set for June 28, July 26 and Aug. 30.

“My dad and I built the range last year, Rock Lake Rifle Range LLC,” he said, noting that the site is west of the south end of  Rock Lake. “We built it to host long-range rifle shoots to bang away at steel.”
