Upcoming Schedule 2020
COVID-19 UPDATE 4/1/2020
Dear Shooters & Parents,
The Rio Salado Sportsman's Club's Executive Board has announced that due to Governor Ducey's Executive Order 2020-18, all divisional matches and practices are being suspended until April 30th, 2020. Firearms related businesses are considered "Essential", therefore, Rio Salado Sportsman's Club will remain open, but only the Public Range, Member Ranges (for personal use) and the Sporting Clays Course will be operational at this time.
It is my hope that we will be able to resume Junior Division practices in May. Also, for now, I am still planning on having our End of the Year Fun Shoot/Pot Luck and Awards Ceremony on June 4th.
Please keep monitoring the Rio Juniors’ social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram and watch for emails from me with updates.
Thank you all for your understanding. I miss seeing you at the range!
Stay safe and healthy!
John Karadsheh
