Cooper Landing Gun Club

Our club just received another HUGE grant from the Friends of the NRA for $57,000!!!  This will be our 3rd grant from the FNRA for our new shooting facility in Cooper Landing near Dave’s Creek.  The FNRA has donated $187,500 to this amazing new range.

We are hoping to open the new range in the Fall of 2021

If you want to support the FNRA please go online or text 907-299-7402 to purchase a Boat Load of Guns Raffle ticket!  We were unable to host a FNRA event this year at Princess, but it would still be awesome to support them.

Huge thank you to everyone who has supported this amazing new range.

With that being said work will continue now this fall.  One issue is that there are people shooting at the new range and it is not ready.  We do not want to jeopardize safety nor our dealings with the agencies still involved. We ask that people refrain from trying to shoot at the new range. Thanks your Range-manager.

Janessa Anderson of Adventure Atlas has done a great job on putting together video for our range and fundraising. Attached is a lower quality version for use on our this website (we have limited upload space) But it is still great. Thanks to her talents, hard work this, footage and her still pictures, our continuing efforts to complete the new range have been much more successful. So if you might be in need of her type of artistic photography what she charges is quite reasonable for the great quality she provides. Thanks, Webmaster.

Attached are a couple of photos of the concept plan and where we are now.  We are making progress and moving forward. Be looking for some video drone footage (still working on formatting) and information about our upcoming fund raiser in May.

The plan

It is really taking shape.

Yes it is a little cold but the current range is great and quite accessible.  We were shooting last Friday and only -1 degree.

We have received donated time and work from Evergreen Construction (Kasilof), Jon James Construction (Cooper Landing)and Metco (Seward) totaling $28,360! Here are some pictures of the work accomplished.

Huge thank you to the NRA Foundation for a check for $53,875 toward the second phase of building our new shooting facility in Cooper Landing near Dave’s Creek. Along with this grant we have also received donated time and work from Evergreen Construction (Kasilof), Jon James Construction (Cooper Landing)and Metco (Seward) totaling $28,360!!!!
Cooper Landing Friends of the NRA will be hosting another banquet at the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge on May 16th, 2020.
The NRA Foundation is helping making our new range a reality!

The Range is now open, go have some SAFE fun.

The Range will be closed tomorrow 9-5-19 and possibly longer as crews are working in the Cemetery and the surrounding area clearing brush. We will have to work open and closed times on a day by day basis. Please be patient and check our Facebook page also.

Due to the rain, containment of the fire and lack of smoke. We are opening the range as of Wednesday September 4th. The new lock is not on yet but be prepared as it will be shortly, by the 7th. Please be aware that there may be fire workers in the area.

With the fire still coming our way and fire crews working the Bean Creek trail we are CLOSING THE RANGE. The safety of the crew and due to lack of visibility, air quality, pending evacuations and such we feel it is only prudent to close the range. We will keep you posted when this will change and reopening the range is feasible.

With the little bit of rain, it seems the smoke has cleared and shooting is good. Hunting season is coming up so now is the time to get out and polish up your shooting skills and work on that favorite loading for your winter fare.  If you like a little challenge try a 22 rimfire at two hundred yards, open sights or scoped. It is a lot of fun.

There are a a small group of us that try to keep the steel up and running and it is frustrating that there is also a group that try to shoot the chain, cable, posts etc. Let’s try to keep our shots on the targets and not the stands please. Have a great day at the range.
