Clinton County Farmers & Sportsmans Assoc

Clinton County Farmers and Sportsmen Association started shortly after World War II and has remained a steady force in Ohio's shooting sports community. It's a membership-oriented organization that handles rifle, pistol, shotgun, and archery disciplines under one roof.

They also maintain 2 ponds on the property for additional activities.

Rifle & Pistol Programs: - Concealed Carry (CCW) classes that meet Ohio Revised Code requirements for handgun licensing - Competitive events including IDPA, SASS, and 3-Gun - Project Appleseed instruction - Hunter education courses

Shotgun Sports: - Trap — Oldest shotgun discipline with random angles and distance variations - Skeet — High and low house setups with fixed angles - 5-Stand Sporting Clays — Faster, cheaper alternative to full sporting clay courses with more variety than trap or skeet

Youth Programs: - Air rifle team (ages 8-17) covering safety, discipline, marksmanship, and competitive postal matches through the Civilian Marksmanship Program - Youth archery instruction - Family-friendly environment with age-appropriate programming

Training & Education: - Ohio Hunters Education certification - Firearm safety and concealed carry classes ("rain or shine") - Range operations certification required before live fire participation

The club emphasizes safety at every level. Youth air rifle participants must pass a safety exam before range access. All events are structured with clear progression—new shooters start with bench-supported shooting, then advance through standing, prone, and kneeling positions.

CCFSA positions itself as a family organization with educational programs appropriate for all ages and experience levels.

They host events through major shooting sports organizations: Civilian Marksmanship Program, IDPA, USPSA, SASS, Project Appleseed, and others. A new on-site store recently opened for member convenience.
