Monthly Steel Challenge match

Corpus Christi Gun Club is a members-only shooting facility with dedicated ranges for rifle, pistol, and shotgun sports. Whether you're practicing fundamentals or competing, CCGC has the infrastructure and events to support your shooting.

The rifle range features 50, 100, and 200-yard target backers with 16 benches—perfect for precision work. Five pistol caliber and 22LR-only bays handle plinking and training.
