"We strive to provide education, enjoyment and community to our area landowners and citizens. Through many outdoor sports, we continue a legacy of honor and respect passed down from generations."
Their action list speaks louder than most mission statements: they maintain the dam and park, work with ND Game & Fish on stocking, support hunters' education programs, donate to local charities, sponsor school activities, and maintain heated public restrooms year-round.
They don't mess around on safety. Every shooter—members and guests—follows 16 specific rules covering muzzle control, trigger discipline, designated fire zones, eye/ear protection, and cease-fire protocol. Parent/guardian required for anyone under 16. No alcohol, tracer rounds, or armor-piercing ammo. Tannerite restrictions in dry conditions.
Work shifts count toward membership discounts. Track your hours, reduce next year's membership cost. Good way to stay involved without paying full freight.
Landowner Relations - This club exists partly to bridge the gap between hunters and rural property owners through education, respect, and actual relationship-building. If you hunt private land in the Belfield area, understanding this club's mission helps explain why landowner cooperation matters.
