Livermore Pleasanton Rod & Gun Club

It is with great sadness that we had to say our final goodbye today to our President Jim Wyllie. Jim passed away peacefully on December 2, 2020 just weeks shy of his 73rd birthday. Jim bravely battled cancer over the last 8 months with as much orneriness as you can imagine. As hard as that stubborn Portuguese fought, God won. Jim has done so much for our club and fellow shooters, more than most will ever know. He will be fondly remembered by many of us and his spirit will be standing behind us with every shot saying "Shoot straight kid"

NOTICE: HILLSIDE UPDATE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR VISITORS, THE 100 YARD LINE WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL THE CONDITION OF THE HILLSIDE IS CONSIDERED SAFE FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE RIFLE AND PISTOL RANGE WILL REMAIN OPEN TUESDAY SUNDAY 9:30 AM 5:00 PM, WITH SHOOTING DISTANCES OF 25 AND 50 YARDS.

Due to the potential of substantial rain and wind over the winter months, we may need to close the R&P range on some Wednesday nights. Please call the R&P range at (925) 449-3616 prior to coming out on Wednesday night. We will update the phone message by 2pm Wednesday to inform if there is a range closure that evening. Thank you for your support and patience.

HILLSIDE UPDATE As a result of the heavy rains this season, the Rifle Range experienced significant damage to the hillside which has taken out the 100 yard targets. The hillside will need extensive repair not only to re-establish the 100 yard targets but to re-grade and reinforce the hillside. The Club has completed the process of obtaining bids to repair the hillside and has selected a contractor to make the repairs. The contractor cannot begin the necessary repairs until th...e rain stops and the hillside has had ample time to drain and dry out. The contractor estimates that the repairs can begin sometime in June depending on the progress of the draining and drying. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. As soon as possible, the club expects to make temporary repairs which will enable the 100 yard targets to be available. That too, cannot begin until the rains stops and the ground dries out sufficiently to allow the equipment to safely operate. Part of this process will involve the temporary closure of the range for an estimated 4 days. In addition, the Archery Range will temporarily be closed to accommodate storage of soil during this time. We will keep you posted as the dates for these repairs and closures are scheduled. In the meantime, we wait for the rain to stop.

Don't miss the last club trap shoot tomorrow, Sunday Sept 15th. We will having venison goulash for lunch !!!
