Club History & Mission

FRGC was founded in 1989 by Robert Smith and a group of visionary volunteers. Established in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and Idaho Fish and Game, the club has grown from a modest shooting area into a modern facility through decades of member-driven effort.

We are proudly run by volunteers—dedicated members committed to safe, efficient, and excellent range operations.

We welcome new members while space allows. Membership will be capped to maintain safety and access standards appropriate for a range of this size.
