NEW SHOOTERS

If you're a new shooter, you've come to the right place!  Let's give you a run down on what to expect during our local matches with the Bitterroot Blasters Club.

​

​

Our biggest priority first and foremost is SAFETY.  We take safety of yourself and others seriously.  This should be a fun and invigorating experience for everyone while feeling safe around others we may not know (and even our friends and family).

Bitterroot Basters is a separate entity from Whittecar Pistol & Rifle Range in Hamilton, Montana.  We work together to schedule our events with consideration of surrounding events/clubs.

​

Blaster's memberships are available for $40.00.  These memberships, again, are sole memberships of Bitterroot Blasters.  This gives you access to the target shed for practice targets and equipment.  Please note whatever you drag out, you must put away.  There is zero tolerance for our equipment to be left out to the public that do not have a Blaster's membership. 

 

The Blasters membership does not include the fees associated with the range.  The range has their own daily fees or annual membership fees that must be paid in ADDITION.
