Manheim Sportsmen Association

The Manheim Sportsmen's Association started in 1930 when local hunters gathered at the American House to promote hunting and fishing in Lancaster County. After regrouping post-WWII and reorganizing in 1960, the club became what it is today—a working sportsmen's organization focused on conservation, education, and marksmanship.

• •Sighting-In Services - Help getting rifles zeroed before hunting season
• •Hunter Education Classes - Formal hunter trapper education instruction
• •Youth Programs - Lancaster County Conservation School, annual Youth Field Day, Kids Fish Derby, Boy Scout Field Day
• •Women-on-Target - NRA-sponsored clinics for women learning rifles, handguns, and shotguns (ongoing since 2008)
• •Card Access Facility - Secure member access Mon-Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 12pm-6pm

The club has actively maintained and upgraded facilities for over 60 years, with major improvements to the roof, siding, parking, and range equipment as recently as 2016.

This isn't a commercial range. It's a conservation-focused member organization that works directly with the Pennsylvania Game and Fish Commission on trout stocking, game refuge management, and rabbit trapping programs. They've hosted everything from Bicentennial parades in 1962 to modern women's shooting clinics.
