5-Stand Shoots - Sparta Rod & Gun Club

Sparta Rod & Gun Club operates shooting sports programs across five main disciplines. You can dial in rifle and pistol skills, compete in 5-stand clay shooting, run trap leagues, try sporting clays, or participate in their competitive archery events.

5-stand clay shooting happens regularly at the club. Fun shoots run for $6 per round of 25 birds with 10 different presentations. There's also a 3-Bird Challenge where three birds launch simultaneously for $7. The club's insulated and heated building means you can shoot all winter without freezing—they keep running through the coldest weather.

The club hosts multiple trap leagues throughout the year:

• •2-Person and 5-Person Trap Leagues with published standings and schedules
• •Coulee League Trapshooting - a 6-week competitive league
• •Quad County Trap Shoot - draws shooters from across the region
• •100-Bird Shoots - larger competitions with detailed scoring tracked on their website

Sparta's signature event is the R100 Archery Shoot, held annually in July (next shoot: July 25-27, 2025). This three-day event draws over 500 archers from across the United States. It's one of the club's most established competitions, having run for 16+ years.

Beyond regular programming, the club hosts:

• •Don Isensee Shoot - a winter trap competition
• •Sparta 100 Bird Scores - tracked competitive rounds
• •Regular fun shoots and casual competitions

The club pulled in shooters from all over the U.S. for the R100, proving it's a destination event for serious archers.

The club maintains rifle and pistol ranges alongside clay shooting facilities. Their insulated and heated building is the key differentiator—most clubs shut down in winter, but Sparta keeps all ranges operational through Wisconsin's coldest months.
