SMSC is open!
Please keep social distancing in mind as you attend the range.

Welcome to the Southern Minnesota Sportsman's Club website. The Sportsmen's Club, founded in middle 1920's, is dedicated to the principles of sportsmanship and conservation. The club is located on 64 acres southeast of Rochester, Minnesota. It includes two lighted trap ranges, a handgun range, two 25 and 50 yard ranges, two falling plate racks, a 100 and 200 yard range, an archery range, and two club houses. All facilities are open for members and their guests. The Southern Minnesota Sportsman's Club is a registered Minnesota Non-Profit Corporation.

Membership Requirements
Safety Orientation Sessions and ID Badges: Please note that completion of the Safety Orientation class is required by all new members AND current members that have not taken the class. SMSC introduced member safety orientation sessions in June 2013 in compliance with the NRA recommendation that all ranges implement such safety programs for their members. The required orientation sessions are an online process. The only step that we cannot complete online is the printing of a badge for new members; that still must be done in person. You can start the process here.
If you cannot perform the orientation online, please sent a note to membership@smsclub.org and let us know when you can be available for a new member orientation and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs.
Reminder To Members
Please be sure to badge out of the range as well as badging in. Please do not tailgate on the way in or out. The badge reader data allows us to keep an accurate measurement of our range utilization.
IMPORTANT MEMBER INFORMATION
Waiver Form: Effective 2016-02-01 (February 1, 2016) Members' ID cards will NOT open the gate unless the ID card holder has submitted a signed Waiver form.

Handicapped Access: If you require handicapped access to the range, contact the Range Manager and he can provide you with a key to the west gate entrance and show you where you can drive down to that gate.
IMPORTANT MEMBER CONTACT INFORMATION
If you are not receiving emails from the club, there is probably an issue with the email address we have on record for you. You should be getting a newsletter email about quarterly. If you aren't, you probably aren't going to get your membership renewal notice either. Please contact us to update us with your current email address.
