River City Rifle  And Pistol Club

About the Club

The River City Rifle and Pistol Club (RCR&PC) was incorporated in 1968 in Mason City, Iowa as a non-profit organization to promote civilian marksmanship, proper gun safety, competitive spirit, conservation of natural resources, and to provide a safe and proper place to shoot.

The RCR&PC has members from a broad spectrum of occupations in our communities. Members include families, men, women, and youth who reside in several counties not limited to Winnebago, Mitchell, Cerro Gordo, Franklin, and Worth counties.

We shoot a wide variety of disciplines such as:

NRA High Power Power Rifle

Bullseye Pistol Shooting

Trap

Cowboy Action Shooting

CMP Rimfire Sporter

Running Deer


plus many others. Many of our members simply use the range for sighting-in their hunting rifles.

This list shows the continuing networking that the River City Rifle and Pistol Club does to meet it's mission listed above:

Open to the public-Monday night trap shooting, monthly Cowboy Action Shoots, High Power Rifle Matches and host to various shooting events including Civilian Marksmanship Program, Rim-Fire Sporter and Running Deer shoots.

Boy Scouts of America-Firearm Safety Merit Badge qualification training and overnight camp outs.

4-H - Shooting, Sports Club's practice, and competitions in Shotgun, Small-Bore Rifle, and Air Rifle events.

High School - Trap teams, including Mason City Mohawks, and the Northwood-Kensett Vikings trap teams.

Law Enforcement - Outdoor training - The RCR&P Club facility has been utilized by the Mason City Police Department, Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Department, and the nine county North Iowa Drug Task Force Team.

The United States Secret Service Department - Utilized the RCR&P Club facility for training exercises when President Bill Clinton visited the North Iowa area.

The range can be made available to other Boy Scout Troops, school shooting teams, 4-H shooting, sports clubs, and other shooting safety and education organizations.

The Future of River City Rifle and Pistol Club

The club house was moved from the old range and renovation started in the late summer of 2008. With the donation of a sliding door and three windows in 2008. Electrical rough for the club house was completed late 2009. 2011 sheet rock was hung. Electricity was run to both the 50 yard range firing line and the 100/200 yard firing line. A yard light at the entry gate and one at the main parking lot were erected. The cement slab under the four 100/200 yard benches was poured May of 2009. A new sign in/sign out structure was erected fall of 2009. Eight more benches and cover were started late fall of 2009 with completion June of 2010. A well and water hydrant was dug and installed in July of 2011. Our membership has been growing by a minimum of 10% per year the past six years, with 243 members in 2011.

In the next ten years River City Rifle and Pistol Club has proposed to build an education and indoor shooting sports facility on the northwest corner of the range. This facility would enable year round use of both rim-fire and center-fire handguns, smallbore rifles, and air rifles. Training, education, and competitions will be highly promoted at this new indoor shooting sports facility in addition to being used by the membership.
