Welcome To Prairie Rod & Gun Club
The Prairie Rod and Gun Club is a not-for-profit organization established in 1948. An annual membership allows members to participate in club activities and use of the rifle range. A rifle and trap range is located at 62664 Mill Coulee Road about 4 miles north of Prairie du Chien off State Highway 35.
Annual membership fee is $25. A monthly newsletter is provided by viewing the website, e-mail, or mail. Membership is required for use of the rifle range. Guests of a member are allowed when accompanied by the club member. See the range rules for additional information on range use.
Our major fund raiser of the year is the annual deer show held the Saturday after Valentines Day. An average of 150 deer racks and mounts and mounts of other animals are brought to the show. Anyone bringing a deer rack or mount is eligible for a chance to win a rifle donated by Stark’s Sports Shop.
While the rifle range is open to members year around the trap range is only operational on Wednesday evenings from April to October. Trap shooting is new to the club so expansion in this program is expected.
Monthly club meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month with the location posted with the monthly newsletter.
