The Preserve Club & Residences

The Preserve Club & Residences operates as a full-service sporting destination built on 3,500 acres in Richmond, Washington County, Rhode Island. This is not a casual range—it's a membership-based club designed for serious hunters and shooters who want European-style upland hunting combined with diverse clay and live-fire disciplines.

• •8 sorghum fields across the property for walking hunts
• •Expert guides and trained gun dogs provided
• •Hunting for pheasants, chukars, and quail
• •Private upland hunts available for groups
• •Field trials for testing and training hunting dogs across varied terrain (tall grass, short grass, ponds, elevations, obstacle courses)

Their signature offering: a 210-foot European tower—the tallest in the Northeast. This is driven tower shooting, not clays. Here's how it works: - 24 shooters rotating through 12 shooting stations (pegs) - Birds released in high volume with wind and natural flight patterns - Varied angles and distances to challenge shooters - Two-day events with full breakfast (omelet station, bacon, waffles, coffee) and fine dining (filet & lobster, roasted pheasant, Scotch & cigar pairings) - Scheduled events: Season Opener, Holiday Cheer, Valentine's Day, New Year's Fun Shoot, Pheasant Season Finale - Five dates per season through fall and winter

"The shot presentation was unlike anything I had ever experienced, the bird soared higher than I had ever seen in America. This is the type of European hunt everyone should experience." — Todd Corayer, The Double Gun Journal

• •Tallest tower in the Northeast at 210 feet (bird flight dynamics are genuinely different at that height)
• •Eight dedicated sorghum fields for upland walking hunts—not a small side business
• •150-yard indoor range—stated as the longest in the country
• •FATS (Firearms Training Simulator) for tactical training indoors
• •Full fine dining integration—breakfast before shoots, multi-course dinners after
• •Structured seasons with scheduled Continental Hunts (not just ad-hoc bookings)
• •Private 1,000-acre section available for field trials
• •Year-round operation (fall through winter seasons)

The Preserve isn't a walk-in range or a casual hunting spot. It's a full membership club for people who view shooting sports as a serious hobby or lifestyle. The real estate component means some members live on-site. The dining, equestrian, and fishing add-ons make it more "sporting resort" than "range facility." If you want to shoot driven tower hunts in the Northeast, walk pheasants over trained dogs with expert guides, or test your clays skills across multiple courses in a single day—with lodging and fine food—this is the destination.
