New signage at Carson City Rifle and Pistol Range
On Dec. 27, 2018 the Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department completed the installation of a concrete monument sign and rules/regulatory signage at the Rifle and Pistol Range.
These signage improvements were the results of a $7,155 grant the city received from the National Rifle Association (NRA) Foundation to make the facility a safer place, provide users with the necessary protocols for each range, and to create a quality recreation environment for both range users and visitors.
"In times of limited public funds, assistance from the NRA Foundation Range Grant Program has helped the city create a signage program that will provide a safer complex while promoting a healthy lifestyle and a substantial recreational benefit for adults and children of all ages and abilities," said Carson Rifle and Pistol Club President Randall Brooks.
The NRA Foundation provides financial support to eligible projects, programs and organizations through its grant program. Each year, volunteer committees from across the country tirelessly raise charitable dollars and generous donors make gifts that are, in turn, awarded as grants in support of educational and public service programs relating to the shooting sports in our communities.

The Carson City Rifle and Pistol Range is owned by Carson City and operated by the Carson Rifle and Pistol Club, a non-profit organization, through a use agreement. The complex provides free outdoor recreation shooting opportunities for the public.
The mission of Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space is to provide exceptional parks, open space and diverse recreational opportunities to enhance the quality of life in Carson City, while preserving our natural resources for future generations.
