OUR PURPOSE:
We are a Moore County Wildlife and Conservation Club focused on the education of our Members and Youth in fire arms safety as well as in the preservation of our fields, forest, fish and wildlife. Today, we strive to provide a safe environment for the education of our youth and in the preservation of man's gift from God, our field and forests, our fish and wildlife, and our freedom to go afield with rod or gun to enjoy the great outdoors.
We extend the safe environment for all our members, their family as well as their friends to experience the gift of our natural surrounding. Through the efforts of our members the nature trails are here for all people interested in the environment, preservation of forests, lakes, streams, and threatened wildlife.
We hope you will visit our facilities and consider joining our family. The "Calendar of Events" will identify our monthly meeting where you can get to know us.

COVID-19 Board Announcement
Reminder, as per the recommendations by state and local authorities, all matches, classes, and group activities at Moore County Wildlife Conservation Club are suspended until further notice. This is a necessary measure to help minimize the potential risks of spreading Corona Virus amongst our members, their families, and our community. As we recognize self defense practice is critical to ones safety, at this time individual practice at the ranges is still allowed under the following guidelines:
- Do not come to the range if you, or someone you have been in contact with is feeling ill in any way.
- Shooters are to maintain a minimum of 6 feet of separation when sharing a range with other members or guests. This can be achieved by leaving 1 firing point open between each shooter
- When the range goes cold, avoid walking down range to change targets in a large group. Leave plenty of room between each other, and your targets.
- Do not share guns, ammo, staplers, CLP, eye and ear pro, etc with any other members or guests
- Avoid any physical contact even if your wearing gloves.
- Avoid standing or gathering in any groups on the ranges.
- We are asking all members to limit their time on the ranges to 60 mins a day. This will help mitigate any crowding while allowing shooters to maintain open air spacing between firing points.

April's Article: Top 4 Tips to Tame Recoil
Recoil can rob accuracy and make shooting less enjoyable, but you can learn to control it and shoot better—even with hard-kicking firearms.
A few years ago, I attended Monty Kalogeras’s Safari Shooting School in Texas and while I was there I had an opportunity to shoot Monty’s Heym double rifle in .500 Nitro Express. Driving a 570-grain bullet from the barrel at 2,150 fps, the .500 Nitro delivers almost three tons of muzzle energy, making it one of the most powerful shoulder-fired rifles in existence. And, as you might imagine, it produces a lot of recoil—about four times the recoil produced by an 8-pound rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. Needless to say, it’s not a rifle for beginners.
