Welcome to the
Boeing Employees Everett Gun Club
Website!
The Boeing Employees Everett Gun Club is an association of Boeing Employees committed to safe hunting, marksmanship, competition, reloading, education, and all around fun. Club meetings are normally held the second Wednesday of each month (check the calendar on the web site for exceptions). Meetings feature interesting shooting videos, news, awards, activity discussions, guest speakers and an open discussion period. The club also sponsors shooting activities and indoor and outdoor shooting ranges throughout the year. Firearms safety is a major emphasis for the Club and NRA Certified classes in Basic Pistol, Basic Personal Protection, and Basic Rifle taught by NRA Certified Instructors and trained range coaches are offered periodically at inexpensive rates for members and guests.

Upcoming Events:
Announcements:
Twelfth Annual ELMER KEITH Memorial Shoot, this year to be held again on the first Saturday in June, June 2.
Location: near Spokane (Valleyford is the specific location)
Who was Elmer Keith? Here's the Wikipedia article about his accomplishments.
Guns: Any auto pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 10".
Sights: Iron. They were good enough for Elmer, they're good enough for us.
A Twenty-Two Caliber Event will follow immediately following the long range shooting. It is open to all 22 caliber revolvers and pistols. However, only six rounds may be loaded in a cylinder or magazine at a time. Teams will be selected to dislodge a can from a stick and roll it a specific distance. Copious amounts of ammunition are expended by some contestants in the effort.
What to bring: Appropriate guns (in cases) and ammunition if you have them. If you don't, loaners are available. Eye & ear protection are essential, a chair will make your day much more comfortable. Bring a spotting scope if you have one. Dress for warm and cold. Early June temperatures in the Inland Empire can range from the 30's to the 90's.
Safety: Each person must know and understand NRA's three Fundamental Gun Safety Rules which are: 1) Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, 2) Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, and 3) Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. All guns must be unloaded and cased (holstered) until shooters reach the firing line. A shooter's meeting will be held prior to each practice session and again prior to shooting for score. Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times by all in attendance when shooting is in progress. No alcoholic beverages may be consumed until all shooting is complete and all guns are secured. Don't be embarrassed! Know these rules and practice them. Anyone having a "brain fade" will be asked to leave.
Donations: Donations to The NRA Foundation will be accepted. Suggested amount: $35. Donations of merchandise that can be auctioned will be welcome. Out of print books by Elmer Keith.
Checks: Please make out all checks to: The NRA Foundation. A single check in the aggregate of all cash donations will be forwarded to The NRA Foundation along with the names of donors.
Food: Extraordinary cuisine has always been memorable part of this event as lunch and dinner are served by world class culinary enthusiasts. Non-shooting family members and friends are welcome.
Auction: Merchandise donations will be auctioned following dinner. Treasures abound for those who bring their checkbooks. All proceeds go to the Elmer Keith Memorial Fund established in 2005 with the NRA Foundation to help support the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund Endowment.
Contact: George Smith, our vice president, who will put you in contact with the event organizer.
Basic Personal Protection Classes have been scheduled for June 9/10 and July 13/14/15. (See the calendar for specifics.) As before, all dates are subject to confirmation by the new owners of the range when the sale is complete.
High Power Rifle Shooting: We are informed that Marysville Rifle Club permits high power rifle shooting by non-members on Thursdays 10:00-4:30. See their web site for details, costs, and restrictions.
