In just a couple of weeks a new shooting season will be underway at Reade Range. This winter has been mild compared to last year, but I’ll bet everyone still has a touch of cabin fever they are ready to get rid of. If you like rifles, especially very accurate rifles, Reade has something you’ll enjoy. The range holds regular league matches for Highpower (Across-the-Course), Mid Range Prone, Long Range Prone, and 1000-yard Benchrest. It also hosts a Long Range Blackpowder match, a Vintage Rifle match, Full Bore Prone matches, and a Marine Corps League match. And on the Schedule for the first time this year are four 3-Gun matches. With all this going on there is no shortage of shooting opportunities. The complete range schedule, match programs, and event contact information can all be found elsewhere on the website.
The first event of the year is our annual work day. The day is spent rebuilding targets, cleaning up from the winter, preparing the range for a new season, and catching up with folks we haven’t seen all winter. The more help we have, the easier it is, so come and give a hand.
Reade Highpower league matches are 80 shots- plus sighters and follow NRA rules and procedures. This year two rifles will be awarded at the conclusion of the league. One national-match service rifle will be presented to the season’s highest scoring junior and another to the high service rifle shooter.
On the first two weekends in June, Reade Range hosts the “Remington Open” Long Range Regional and the “Remington Classic” Highpower Regional. These matches, sponsored of course by the Remington Outdoor Company, are first rate! They are well run, atte

Website Changes

A website update is mostly complete. A few minor issues remain as of this date.
The major change is to the underlying file structure that dated back to the early days and therefore had become a bit 'messy'. These changes drove associated changes to the database tables that deliver the web pages.
Users that have recently registered may have to re-register.
Since the database had to be changed anyway, the content management system (Joomla) has been updated to a more secure version along with how the content is presented. For example, the menu has been simplified with all pictures available in one place. Also maps, lodging, directions, and match programs are now together.
I will be auditing the content over the next few weeks for broken links, missed files, etc. If you find any lingering issues, feel free to let me know via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
