Location details and information
Paw Paw Conservation Club operates dedicated shooting facilities including trap, 3D archery, and practice ranges for rifles, pistols, and muzzleloaders. Trap shooting is open to the public every Monday from 4:00–6:00 pm year-round at $5 per set of 25 birds. Shooters bring their own shells, and anyone who shoots a perfect 25 gets a free round.
The club maintains what they call the finest groomed 3D course in southwest Michigan. The course runs target points only (no broadheads), with separate shooting stakes for pros, hunters, traditional, and youth shooters.

Members have access to dedicated ranges for archery/airsoft, muzzleloader, pistol, rifle, and trap. Guests must be accompanied by a member at all times. Shooting hours run dawn to dusk.
All firearms must remain unloaded with actions open and muzzles pointed downrange or in a safe direction when not at the firing line. No alcohol or drugs allowed.
The club conducts Michigan DNR-certified hunter education classes focused on firearm safety, wildlife identification, ethics, and regulations. Traditional classes run two-day formats (evening + full day), with a field day option in summer. Classes require pre-registration through Michigan's online system.
Beyond shooting sports, PPCC awards college scholarships to member students and allows local police agencies to use the ranges for training and qualification. The club also rents its hall for events.
