Winchester Frederick County Conservation Club

Winchester Frederick County Conservation Club operates shooting ranges across multiple properties in the Winchester area, serving members with pistol, rifle, trap, and archery facilities. The club maintains strict range rules and welcomes competitive shooters of all skill levels.

Both pistol and rifle ranges open at 8 AM and close 30 minutes before sundown. The pistol range operates at 15 yards and requires paper targets only—no cans, bottles, water jugs, steel plates, or spinning targets. No shotguns, rifles, or AR platforms on the pistol range. The rifle range features two distance options: 50-yard and 100-yard targets, also paper-only.

Range Rules Apply to Both: - Members only—no guests permitted at shooting ranges - No fully automatic weapons or bump stocks - Paper targets only - Member volunteers maintain backing materials

Evening trap shoots run regularly with food service around 5:30 PM. Standard format: 4 rounds of 10 shots (2 rounds from 16 yards, 1 from 23 yards, 1 from 27 yards) for $20 total. Shooters bring their own shells. Payouts available for 10/10, 9/10, and sometimes 8/10 scores.
