 The
Blue & Gray Rifle and Pistol Club was formed in early 1961 by a group of 15 avid shooters.
The Club received its NRA charter in March 1961. The Club
affiliated with the U. S. Army Director of Civilian Marksmanship in 1963 and was
incorporated in 1964. The Blue & Gray remains affiliated with the Civilian
Marksmanship Program to this day. In 1967, the Club began sponsoring the Pot
Shots, a junior club started by an Explorer Boy Scout Post. The Pot Shots are
now wholly sponsored by the Club and participation is open to any boy or girl
between 12 and 17 years of age. The Club is non-discriminatory and presently has
a membership in excess of 250. The Club policy is to promote the shooting sports
as broadly as possible, and make membership as widely available as possible. The
Club range is the most complete private rifle and pistol range in north
Alabama.The Blue & Gray Rifle & Pistol Club
goals are to maximize programs and resources currently in place to
achieve the best for our members and future champions.
For our junior athletes, we hope to educate and
encourage them to become elite shooters through the continuation of our junior development programs
as part of the Pot Shots Program.
