The Montrose
Rod and Gun Club (MRGC) was originally incorporated in 1953 by a group of
local shooting enthusiasts. The MRGC constructed the current indoor
facility at 1211 6450 Road between the years of 1979 and 1983.
Although repairs have been made throughout the years, the indoor
facility remains today much as it was in 1983.
The property for the outdoor range was acquired in 1976. By 1978,
the outdoor range had one outdoor rifle range and one trap field. In
years following, covered benches were built and berms were erected
to separate the pistol, rifle and shotgun ranges. In 1984, club
members added the skeet shooting facilities and the restroom
facilities.
The MRGC is now fifty-one years old and on the brink of moving into
the next millennium. Recently, Cowboy Action Shoots, 5 Stand
Sporting Clays and Silhouette Shoots have become part of the
landscape at the MRGC outdoor range
