Murrysville District Sportsmen's Association

The Murrysville District Sportsmen's Association—also known as the Murrysville Gun Club and Murrysville Rifle Club—was the first sportsman's club established in Murrysville. What started over 80 years ago remains unchanged in mission: make a positive impact on the community through safe, responsible shooting sports.

The club maintains serious shooting infrastructure:

All ranges are available to members during posted hours: Monday-Friday 8am-dusk, Saturday 9am-dusk, Sunday 10am-dusk.

Membership ($100/year, due in June) includes gate access and unlimited range use. But the club does far more than provide targets and benches:

• •Jr. Small Bore Competition – Youth rifle programs free to community members, no membership required
• •Adult Competition Small Bore Team – Members-only squad for serious shooters
• •Trap Shooting Team – Part of the All Sportsmen's Trap League (no experience needed)

The club asks members to contribute time to maintenance and programs when possible—this keeps dues lower and strengthens the community. No work days or meetings required, but participation builds the "club" feel.
