The Southern Minnesota Sportsman's Club has been operating since the middle 1920s, built on core principles of sportsmanship and conservation. Today it occupies 64 acres southeast of Rochester and serves as a no-cap membership shooting facility with serious range infrastructure.

The club operates multiple ranges across the property:

• •Handgun range
• •Two 25 and 50 yard rifle ranges
• •Two falling plate racks
• •100 and 200 yard rifle range
• •Archery range
• •Two clubhouses for members

All facilities are available to members and their guests.

No shooting after sunset. Check timeanddate.com for Rochester sunset times to confirm daily cutoffs.

New and returning members must complete a required NRA-recommended online safety orientation session. Badge printing must happen in person at the Range Manager's cottage. Once active, members badge in and out to track range utilization.

All members must submit a signed waiver form before their ID badge will open the gate.
