How is the club managed?
DRRC is governed by the Officers and Board of Directors. There are several other appointed positions of responsibility such as Chief Range Safety Officer, Project Coordinator, Maintenance Supervisor, Range Host, Discipline Directors, and more. There is a general membership meeting on the first Thursday of every month, and a board meeting on the last Thursday of every month. The range maintenance is accomplished through Tuesday morning work parties (which count toward members’ work hours) and an annual all day work party in the spring. The various shooting disciplines are run by Discipline Directors who are appointed by the board.
Do I have to be a member of DRRC to shoot there?
Yes, for general shooting. A member can invite a guest to shoot with them for a $10.00 guest fee. Nonmembers can shoot at most scheduled matches for a match fee.
What is the cost and how do I join?
The cost can vary slightly depending on when in the membership year you join, how many family members are signed up, and if you are already a member of the NRA. The membership fees and process can be found here: Become a Member.
Do I have to be an NRA member?
Yes. DRRC is a 100% NRA member club. You can join on your own or pay the fee to us as part of your membership application, and we will process it for you. You must continue your NRA membership throughout your membership at DRRC. Join the NRA.
How can I contribute to the club after I become a member?
There are many ways you can volunteer. The range is closed for maintenance every Tuesday from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Sign in at the club house, and we will put your time and abilities to good use. We host an annual work day where we shut down the range and ask members to volunteer for a day of range maintenance and repair. This is a great way to meet your annual requirement of 8 hours of service. Other opportunities are to run for an elected or appointed position, work at hunter sight-in, or help at matches, special events, or on special projects. Whatever your areas of expertise are, we can make use of them.
Once I am a member of DRRC, how much does it cost to shoot there?
You can shoot on your own for no extra cost. If you attend a scheduled event or match, there is usually a small fee. Check with the specific disciplines for applicable fees.
As a member of DRRC when can I shoot?
You can shoot at the Indoor Range between 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM any time there is not a scheduled event in the clubhouse. The outdoor ranges are open from 8:00 AM to the legal sunset (posted at the sign-in booth) on weekdays and 9:00 AM to legal sunset on weekends and holidays. Please remember to check the club calendar for matches or events on the range that you would like to use before heading to the club.
What guns are allowed at DRRC?
There are some limitations to calibers that can be shot on certain ranges, especially in our indoor range. Please check the Handbook for additional information. We do not allow .50 BMG caliber on any range. Steel core penetrator or armor piercing ammunition are not allowed due to the use and presence of club steel targets.
After I become a member, can I bring guests with me to shoot?
Yes, you may bring up to four guests at a time to shoot with you. Each adult guest must pay the guest fee per visit. They must sign in at the guest station. Guests must always remain with you. No guest may go off to another range to shoot independently. The DRRC members are responsible for their guests following the club rules and safe behavior at all times.
What are the rules for using the different ranges at DRRC?
The Member Handbook contains all the rules and safety procedures for our ranges.
Can I just bring my rifle to sight it in?
There are several weekends in September and October when DRRC offers Hunter Sight-In days to the public. Nonmembers can bring their guns for sighting in for a small fee per firearm. The guns must be empty and will go through a safety check. Shooters must bring their own ammunition. Each shooter will be supervised by a coach and a spotter to assist with sighting in the firearms. DRRC supplies the targets and spotting scopes. To shoot or sight in a rifle other than on Hunter Sight-In days, you must be a member or a member’s guest.
How do I get started in shooting competitions?
We offer competitions for several types of shooting. New competitors are welcome. You should possess basic firearms handling and safety skills as well as proficiency with your firearms. See the discipline pages, and contact the discipline director for any events that you are interested in. Be sure to tell the Discipline Director that you are new to shooting competitions.
What classes or training are offered at DRRC?
We have training opportunities on many topics, including Junior small bore and shotgun, Service Rifle (Civilian Marksmanship Program), Hunter Education (required for juniors to hunt in Oregon), Ladies’ Beginner Pistol, ammunition reloading, and private shooting lessons by multiple trainers.
How can I get a concealed handgun license?
To get a Concealed Handgun License in Oregon, eligible applicants must provide proof of training. This can be through previous military or law enforcement training or by taking the CHL class from an approved trainer.

What is a Range Safety Officer (RSO)?
A Range Safety Officer is a range official who has the responsibility to make sure the range use and shooting practices are safe. Their word is the law. You can ask questions, but do not argue or challenge their authority. Take the opportunity to learn from them. We welcome any member to become an RSO. It is a great way to get in your work hours!
How do I become an RSO?
