On behalf of NIRPC I just wanted to say thank you for choosing to follow us.
This is the best place to see everything that we have going on.
I advertise it and promote it here.
If it’s on the schedule, almost always I’m typing on here about it & putting up some pictures.
For the record, the one thing I miss regularly, is the road cleanups. It’s a good way to get work hours. We police the west and the east side of Harrison Road from Harlem Road north to Dickinson Road as part of our adopted highway project.
We give work hours for it. The guy who runs it does it three times a year and you’re welcome to join him. The schedules are normally posted in the newsletter.

Thank you again all of you for following our page. I hope you get to come out and issue with us.

I’m encouraging all church, temple, mosque /house of worship Safety Team members to come shoot IDPA with us.
True, I’m encouraging everybody to do it. But, “I’m especially encouraging the Safety Team members of houses of worship”.

Keith Graves is a former swat cop out of SF California. He does an excellent job, covering threats to churches and houses of worship.

This video is his latest statistical analysis and review. The information is accurate, factual and poignant to all of us. Check it out for yourself, and come shoot IDPA with us on Saturday, June 13 at 9:30 AM. We all need the additional quality reps, & practice.

Good News everybody !
At the Board of Directors meeting last Sunday night, the board voted unanimously to buy five high-quality 3/8 inch AR 500 steel targets to be used in the concealed carry practice Bay.

All five have a 15° forward, angle of lean, which is designed to take the impact and deposit the bullet and its spatter directly on the ground in front of the target.

When we install these, we will put sand boxes directly under them, so there is a soft spot for the spatter to deposit in and not ricochet in theory. Should work in practice as well… Take a look for yourself at what’s coming.
I’m hoping they will be in in the third week of June. Barring any backorders. Then we just have to get them set up & mounted.

If you see the NIRPC Board of Director Members and the Club Officers.
Tell them THANK YOU !

This will be a great addition.
We did this affordablly as possible. Just FYI.
We researched the prices on 15° Front leaning AR 500 steel targets on ChatGPT. We found this company and managed to get a 15% discount from them, and free shipping on our order.

Looking forward to them arriving and going up.
