There are only a handful of Madison area gun ranges and of those, only three have indoor shooting. Before continuing, it’s important to understand what a gun club, sportsmen’s club, and gun range actually are.
A gun club and sportman’s club are essentially the same thing – a group of ranges (or shooting areas) for different types of weapons along with a clubhouse or two. They typically cater to hunting sports and have outdoor ranges for handguns, archery, rifles, and shotguns (in the form of trap or skeet ranges which we’ll cover in a bit). A few also have indoor handgun ranges as well as archery ranges. Many clubs also serve in a conservation capacity, stocking game such as fowl and fish or fundraising for conservation efforts. In the Madison area, these include Stoughton Conservation Club and North Bristol Sportsman’s Club.
