Lansing Area - Sportsmans club...

[Lwapo]

Not sure where to post this, but...

Does anyone know of some Sportsmans clubs or Rod/Gun clubs in the greater Lansing area?

I'm interested in joining one, but don't know of any in the area.

Thanks in advance!

I see your in St. Johns.

Capitol City Rifle Club comes to mind. Nice place, nice people, and inexpensive to join.

As a past president of the Capitol Area Sportsman's Club I can recommend it. It has an indoor pistol range, trap, skeet, sporting clays, an indoor archery building, an ourdoor archery range, a walk through archery course and both outdoor rifle and pistol ranges.

It has been around since 1935.

Capital area sportsman club.
Hit me up with a p.m. if you want the nickel tour of the place. I am about 10 minutes from there.

So Capitol Area Sportsmans Club seems to be the place.


How are the people there? I'm younger (25) and I'm wondering about the ages and friendlyness of the guys there?

Let me know how it is. I live in Grand Ledge and I have been looking for a range. Did you here about MSU's 3.5 million dollar shooting facility they are building? It is supposed to have indoor ranges for both archery/firearms. They are going to hold air gun competitions as well as having the ability for long distance high power ranges. Hope it works out.

age?? Across the board, Seems the older crowd is into the trap and sporting clays (lots of experienced shooters willing to give great advice), younger crowd around the archery building. (just my observation). Never met a bad member and there is something for everyone there.
Prices are great for membership.
Lots of activities going on and if you like to shoot archery the indoor range is a great +, Winter leagues , summer 3-d leagues, Competitive shoots , etc...

Like I said p.m. me and I will give you the tour. or p.m. me your phone # and I will call you with info and answers.

once you are a member if you put in at least 10 hours of volunteer time your dues drop to $45.00 annually.Now you can't beat that!

Did a search for this and came across this thread.

Maybe someone in the know can shoot me a PM.

I have a college aged son, would we both need to get memberships for shooting on the ranges? For skeet/trap I assume we would pay the member rate for myself and non-member for him?

Also, is it possible to bring a guest. I have another older son who visits from time to time and usually brings a gun or two.

Thanks for all the help. Looks like a great place.

I didn't post this, but I am asking about the Capital Area Sportsman's League in my questions above.

[Splitshot]

Guests are welcome. As a member you can participate in all activities. If you shoot in an archery league I think there is a small fee.

I used to walk through the sporting clays course before deer hunting season to practice my stalking skills and there were some monster bucks on the property and I'll bet there still are.

P.M. Me about Capital Area Sportsman club, We have what you are looking for.
