Trap Range

Four trap houses, 3 of which house the older Winchester hand-load trap with the fourth housing a relatively new (2006) automatic PatTrap.

This range is named the Keith Stegall Trap Range in memory of one of the founding fathers of the Association. Keith was a local gun maker who made custom rifles in his small home-based shop. He was also a dedicated Trap shooter and organized and ran registered trap meets twice a year for many years. The meets were hugely successful and often attracted up to 100 shooters from all over Colorado and nearby states.

Only informal trap shooting is presently held on the range. During the summer months, May to September, we shoot at 5:30 each Wednesday afternoon. Ladies shoot trap Thursday afternoons at 5:30.

Skeet Range A single skeet range was constructed during late summer 2005. The skeet machines were upgraded to Mattarelli machines in the spring of 2008. Construction is on-going at the range. We shoot informal skeet on Saturdays and Sundays. During the cooler spring, fall, and winter days, we shoot at 1:00 p.m. and switch to 9:00 a.m. once the weather warms up.

Rifle Ranges There are two separate rifle ranges. One has target stands at 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards and includes a rifle house with concrete shooting benches as well as an exterior bench and concrete walkway to the 100 yard targets. The 600 yard range has target stands at 300, 400, and 600 yards with shooting benches at the parking area. 600 yard range rules: Never access the 600 yard range when someone is shooting on another range. Attach chain to post to close road access to other ranges. Hours for the range are as follows: Monday & Wednesday 8am – 10am. First and third Saturdays of the month, 7am – 9am. Outside those hours, the 600 yard range may be used if no one else is at the other ranges. 600 YARD SHOOTERS MUST YIELD TO ANOTHER RANGE USER IF THEY ARE USING IT OUTSIDE OF THE 600 YARD RANGE HOURS -NO EXCEPTIONS!!! No targets that are fragmentable. Do not try to use range if road is damp. You will chew up the road and get stuck. Clean up when you are done – including brass and target remnants. 600 Yard Range Hours 8am – 10 am Mondays & Wednesdays 7am – 9am 1st & 3rd Saturdays of the Month Range users must yield during all other hours.

Archery Range

The Gunnison Sportsmen’s Association is pleased to announce that we have received a grant from the Friends of the NRA for establishment of an Archery range. The range is in the 20 acres on the east side of the road leading to the club. Currently this area is in scrub/pasture, proper clothing and footwear is recommended.

The range has static targets from 20 to 40 yards, a small storage building, entry level bows and arrows for our youth and lady shooters, or those who do not otherwise have access to archery equipment. A modest collection of 3D animal targets is also available.

Archery is a life time sport for all ages. It can be enjoyed at the club with separate access from the regular shooting areas, so both young and old can enjoy the experience without worry. We have attracted our local youth archers from 4H, the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), and the Boy/Girl Scouts. We also envision having the facilities in the future to have formal and impromptu 3D shoots and tournaments, which provide great practice and entertainment for all involved.

Access to the Archery range is available to all dues paying members.

The Archery range is a work in progress. Members are encouraged to participate in its development.
