Halifax County Gun Club

Halifax County Gun Club started in 1973 and has grown into a serious shooting destination on 100 acres of owned property near South Boston, Virginia. In 1979, the National Skeet Shooting Association recognized them as Gun Club of the Year—a credential that still holds weight with competitive shooters across Virginia and the Carolinas.

This is a multi-range shooting facility, not a single-purpose club:

• •4 Skeet Fields - Full NSSA-sanctioned setup for competitive and recreational shooting
• •2 Trap Fields - Dedicated trap shooting areas
• •5-Stand and Wobble Trap - Specialty clay shooting
• •Pistol Range - Steel targets allowed (bring your own support system or 4x4 wood—club frames aren't rated for steel target support)
• •Rifle Range - 100 and 200-yard berms
• •.22 Only Range - Dedicated rimfire facility
• •Clubhouse - Event space and facilities

Cost: $150/year with $50 initiation fee (prorated rates available)

How it works: 1. Submit application with fees 2. Need sponsorship from member with 90+ days tenure 3. Attend required Orientation session 4. Board votes on approval 5. Receive membership badge and lock codes (badge must be worn on club property)

Access: Members get daylight-hours access every day. Spouses and dependents can shoot when accompanied by member. New members are on 90-day probation, but membership can be revoked for significant rules violations.

Membership is currently at an all-time high and growing
