NEWS AND INFORMATION
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS
Please be advised that due to insurance purposes and effective immediately, the Marshall County Hunting and Fishing Club will no longer permit members to bring a guest (non-member). If any member is found bringing non-members to the range to shoot, their membership will be revoked with no reimbursement of paid dues. This excludes any public shoots/practices and Sight-in days.
Mowing of Club Property
Currently the contractor who is mowing the club property is doing the mowing on Tuesdays. All ranges are closed when the mowing is being done. There will be times when the contractor will be unable to mow on Tuesdays. These times will include but not limited to inclement weather or unforeseen problems which the contractor may encounter and would disrupt the contractor’s schedule. There may be little or no warning of such problems.

The starting times for the events are listed. The ending times may vary depending on number of shooters or other factors.
Trap shooting December through February is not always scheduled. Outside temperature of 30 degrees or less will result in shooting being canceled.

Range Closings and the Calendar of Events
Club officers try very hard to give members adequate notice of all range closings. There are times however due to our attempt to cooperate with local law enforcement agencies that notice of closings do not have the forewarning that we all would like.
If such an occasion occurs, directors will post notices on affected ranges and the closing will be listed as an event on the CALENDAR OF EVENTS section on this website. While on the CALENDAR OF EVENTS section information may be obtained by clicking on an event listed on any particular day.
Please check this site routinely and also watch for the physical postings at the ranges.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
