Volunteers Make CAPS Happen

CAPS matches don’t just happen on match day—they happen because club members step up and help make them possible.

Whether you can help with match setup the day before, arrive early on match morning for final touches, or stay after the match to help tear down and clean up, every bit of help matters.

Volunteering is about more than moving walls, setting steel, hanging targets, or putting equipment away. It builds community and pride in our club. When everyone pitches in, the workload is lighter, matches run more smoothly, and CAPS becomes a better place to shoot.

Want a free Match Fee?

Members who volunteer with the day-before match setup crew may be eligible to have their match fee waived, based on the number of hours worked and the needs of the setup crew.

CAPS is your club. Help us make it a great one.

Recommended Items for match days

CAPS Club matches are held outdoors in Texas, where the seasons tend to range from hot to hotter, and once a year cold and colder!  Come prepared with layers so you can stay comfortable, hydrated, and focused throughout the match.

• Hat or other sun protection
• Plenty of water
• Electrolytes
• Snacks
• Gun cart or range cart
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Cooling towel or neck wrap
• Sunglasses
• Small folding chair
• Rain gear — because Texas weather occasionally likes to keep things interesting

Bring what you need to take care of yourself for several hours outdoors. A little preparation makes for a much better match day. As a courtesy we do provide water and extreme heat days Gatorade.

Carry Guns

• If you arrive at the range with a loaded and/or holstered carry gun, do not handle or unload it at your vehicle.
• If you plan to use your carry gun during the match, please locate a designated match official. They will escort you to the appropriate area where you can safely unload, show clear, and re-holster.
• After the match, the same process applies if you need to reload and re-holster your carry gun. Please see a designated match official for assistance.

Firearm Handling at the range

• Only under the direct supervision of a Range Officer, or
• In a designated Safe Area, ammo/loaded magazines are not permitted in the Safe Areas
• Do not handle firearms at your vehicle or anywhere else on the range outside of these circumstances.

Not sure where the Safe Area is? Please ask. We would much rather answer a question than have someone guess when it comes to firearm safety.
