"Best sporting clays course in Northern Michigan." - Participant feedback from 2019 Ironman Shoot
Participants consistently praise the grounds maintenance, target presentation, and knowledgeable volunteer staff. The 2019 Ironman Shoot drew 57 competitors from both the lower and upper peninsulas, making it Michigan's largest multi-venue shoot that year. Recent years have seen expanded programming including the new Cosmic Black Lite League starting in 2026.
The heated clubhouse and enclosed 5-Stand facility make winter shooting comfortable and accessible.
