A Little Club History:

During the spring of 1964, a small group of N.R.A. rifle and pistol shooters became tired of being chased out of gravel holes used as shooting ranges. They located a small gravel hole off Route 49, West of Union Road. This gravel hole and surrounding property belonged to the Smith Brothers' roofing family.

They contacted them to arrange a meeting to obtain permission to shoot in their gravel hole. Permission to establish a rifle/pistol range was granted and by verbal agreement and we agreed to pay the annual taxes on the property consisting of 108 acres. This was our verbal lease. The first tax bills were based on the 108 acres of ground that included the gravel hole and land around it. The land was declared undeveloped wilderness, thus the lease was for $108.00 per year for many years.
