The Roswell Gun Club (RGC) was first organized as a New Mexico corporation
in December of 1961.
The Articles of Incorporation were revised in November of 1995 to establish
the Club as a 501 C 4, non-profit corporation with the IRS.
A Board of Directors, consisting of five Club Officers and six Board
Members governs the operations of RGC. The Officers and Directors are
elected by the members in annual elections and are guided by a set of
bylaws.
The present Club Administration is an active, aggressive group who are
sincere and intent on increasing the opportunities for participation in
the Shooting Sports by providing a safe multipurpose Range Facility for
use by the Roswell Community, Chaves County and South Eastern New Mexico.
The Club Membership will average around 282 members, each paying a fee
of $60.00 a year. Each member in good standing will be issued a key to
the Range gate.
The present Shooting Sports Program features regularly scheduled matches
conducted by Club Match Directors on each Saturday, Sunday and on three
Wednesdays a month. These matches are not only open to club members, but
to the general public. The Range is closed to non-members except during
scheduled matches.
Matches are attended by competitors in the Roswell community as well
as from surrounding cities and West Texas. Match fees are collected from
these competitors and these constitute a source of the club's income.
The Range Complex consist of 245 acres of Private Land, owned by the
Club, and includes a Law Enforcement Pistol Range, which is utilized for
Training and Qualifications by Law Enforcement Agencies who hold an Associate
RGC Club Membership.
