Missouri Gun & Quail Club

Missouri Gun & Quail Club operates as a locked, gated private club—meaning every person on the grounds has completed safety training or is supervised by a member. With 400-member capacity, you get dedicated facilities without the crowding of public ranges.

The club features brand new skeet machines purchased in Fall 2021 with high and low houses. You can shoot singles or doubles. The trap field is set at ATA regulation height and speed. Want something harder? Try wobble trap on the skeet field for a humbling challenge.

• •Member prices: $4 per round per 25 targets (skeet, trap, or wobble). Manual trap is free—bring your own clay birds. The patterning board is open daily for sighting in new shotguns or testing chokes.

The rifle range has 16 concrete bench stations with backstops at 25, 50, 100, and 200 yards. Includes a small metallic spinner at 25 yards for .22 practice.

The pistol range offers 7 lanes with varying distances (5-25 yards) and free-standing target boards.

• •Metallic Pistol Range: Opened June 30, 2013. Handles .22 cal through .44 magnums, .45 ACP, and .45 long colts. Eight different metallic plate configurations test your accuracy. Hand guns only—no rifles or handguns firing bottleneck rifle cartridges allowed.

Special event: Second Saturday of each month, 9 AM to 11 AM, modified PCP (any caliber). Revolvers need speed loaders; semi-autos bring extra magazines.

Dedicated archery area on the grounds.
