Alliance Rifle Club History
The Alliance Rifle Club was organized shortly after WWII and
has been NRA affiliated since May 26, 1949.

The club has an indoor shooting range that has been in use since the 1950's located at the Airport Range. The Airport Outdoor Range was in use until Dec. 13, 2006 when it was closed to all shooting except for scheduled matches.

Hoffland Range is an outdoor range with a 1000 yd. pit and covered firing line. This range was started in 1985 and named after a town that used to be located in the area. It is mostly used for organized matches. The trees that have been planted on the Hoffland were named the Erv Huber Memorial Forest March 3, 2008 to honor him for all the work he did in planting and watering the trees.

Land for the Fiebig Range was purchased May 25, 2007 and opened July 2007. The range was named in honor of Glen Fiebig for his many years of service and contributions he has made to the Club. This range is open to all members.
