The Clairton Sportsmen   rifle section is a very active and varied  facet of our club. The outdoor range has 10 firing benches with targets set at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards. This range offers a great place to sight in rifles, muzzle loaders, pistols, and shotguns (slugs only). The range is open to members who may bring one guest. However, no guests are permitted in November due to the high volume of members who sight in for deer season. The range is open  year round from 9:00 A.M. till dusk. This is a paper target range and is for single round firing only. The 200 Yard Competition range offers 12 firing points and is open only under the supervision of a  designated range officer . CSC is affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program  and holds 7-9 highpower competition matches throughout the spring, summer, and fall. We host a John C. Garand Match that is sanctioned through the CMP. Along with these matches, we include several .22-rimfire long range matches that are fired at 200 yard targets. The indoor rifle/archery  range offers 50 foot target shooting on Thursday evenings at 7:00P.M. These matches typically begin on the second Thursday of November and end on the second Thursday in March. This is a great program to learn firearm safety, proper techniques for competitive shooting, and just a great way to have some fun. Juniors are encouraged to participate, often the starting age is 10 years old, but adults are welcome as well. We encourage parents to stay and watch their children learn.
