JOIN US:

The St. James Rifle and Pistol Association is open to residents of St. James AND to anyone from another community/town who would like to shoot with us. Any skill level is welcome!!!! Membership information is available online. For more information contact us.

OUR BELIEFS:

While many of us believe in our Second Amendment rights and support the National Rifle Association, we are not a political organization. We welcome all points of view and often engage in lively discussion.

RECENT EVENTS:

MEETING TIMES:

We meet each Thursday at 9:00 am (10 am in cooler months) at Roan's Branch Preserve, for trap and skeet shooting. On the 2nd Saturday of each month, we engage in a more formal trap competition (check the homepage for possible changes).

Our club members shoot at Ye Olde Gun Club every Wednesday, starting at 9:45 AM. Members of STJRPA & Ye Olde Gun Club (YOGC) shoot free. Members of STJRPA, but NOT YOGC shoot for $10.00 on that day only and it is payable to YOGC.

OUR PURPOSE:

Our purpose is trifold. First and foremost, we come together to participate in the shooting sports in a variety of locations across the country. Secondly, we aim to educate interested parties about firearms and their safe handling. Last, but not least, we enjoy introducing the sports to those who have never tried them.

WHAT WE DO:

For the most part, we are target shooters that shoot for the fun of it, or for the thrill of competition. Many of us are versed in a variety of disciplines that include, but are not limited to: small bore, big bore rifle, high power rifle, handgun, trap and skeet, and hunting.

WHO WE ARE:

We are a group of people, from diverse backgrounds and experiences, who enjoy the recreational use of firearms. We engage in rifle and handgun target shooting and trap and skeet shooting. We welcome those who are new to the sport! The comradery of the group is important to us, as demonstrated by our regular post-shoot lunches.
