The Fin has a very active pistol committee, which sponsors a summertime pistol league that includes NRA-approved pistol matches every Wednesday evening, starting at 6 p.m., as soon as the weather permits, which is usually in mid-April. Many of these pistol shooters routinely compete in NRA winter-time pistol matches sponsored by other clubs in the region. The FFF Summer Pistol League continues through September. The pistol range is also a very popular spot for members and guests to practice shooting revolvers and autos at bulls-eye targets placed at 12, 25, and 50 yard ranges. Members sight in their rifles and shotguns for 25 and 50 yard targets and shotgun sports enthusiasts pattern their scatter guns here. The Club‘s youth program uses this range for air pistol and rifle marksmanship training. Normally, the pistol range is open for members to use for practice from 9:00 a.m. to sunset. Rules are posted at range. For questions about use of the pistol range or pistol committee work, contact Mary Goss.

The Fin‘s rifle range is one of the favorite places at the club, offering shooters both 100 and 200 yard target sites. There is cover at the shooting line for protection during inclement weather. Target sheds are available for regular practice and special matches. Anyone wishing to sight in their rifle or shotgun at a 50 yard distance must use the Pistol Range and must observe all rules for shooting at that range. The Rifle Range is open from 9:00 a.m. to sunset. Rules are posted at the range. There are NRA approved rifle matches, starting in spring and running throughout the summer months.
