Newberg Rife and Pistol Club

The Newberg Rifle & Pistol Club promotes the safe enjoyment of shooting sports. Emphasis is placed upon training for younger members, with several certified instructors available to help with practical advice and safety instruction on the range, as well as more formal classroom instruction.

The Club sponsors a Hunter Education course once each year and also hosts the required field day for other sponsored classes and home study students. For class dates check with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 503-947-6002 or http://www.dfw.state.or.us/outdoor_skills/hunter/courses/index.asp .

The club has developed a training course for persons interested in obtaining concealed handgun licenses for the states of Oregon and Utah. The course includes elements on handgun mechanisms, safety procedures, Oregon/Utah law on concealed carry and defensive use of a deadly weapon, and ends with individual instruction taking attendees through a live-fire exercise. This meets the Oregon and Utah state requirements for the issue of a concealed handgun licenses.
