The Whittecar Rifle and Pistol Range was formed around
1974 and incorporated in 1976. Bill Whittecar was one of the founding
members. Our current lease runs out in 2025. The facility is located
on Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks land. Our range is located in
Ravalli County near the city of Hamilton, Montana approximately 45
miles south of Missoula. We are a public range serving the communities
of the Bitterroot Valley including Florence, Stevensville, Victor,
Pinesdale, Corvalis, Hamilton, Darby and Sula. We
are open to the general public on Wednesday through Sunday 52 weeks
a year. We currently have four shooting ranges. The range is run by
a 10 person Board of Directors and staffed by our on-site Caretakers.
We conduct monthly Board meetings on the second Tuesday of every month.
These meetings are usually held at the Range itself. Our meeting minutes
record our monthly discussions and members are encouraged to attend
our meetings. We print an annual newsletter and maintain a calendar
of activities such as matches, classes and law enforcement training.
We are supported by membership fees, daily use fees and by the generosity
of several local sponsors. |
