Suring Sportsman's Club

The Suring Sportsman's Club operates a rifle range and organizes regular events that bring together hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts in Oconto County. Their mission is straightforward: promote safe and responsible fishing and hunting practices, support wildlife conservation, and create outdoor experiences for the Suring area and surrounding communities.

The club maintains a rifle range at their primary location and hosts several recurring programs:

• •Youth Hunter's Safety Classes – Certified instruction for young hunters preparing for their first season
• •Youth Outdoor Fun Day – Annual summer event featuring .22 pistol shooting with Oconto County Sheriff's Deputies, archery instruction, clay target shooting, fly fishing lessons, and trout tank fishing for kids
• •Archery Education – Kids learn bow and arrow fundamentals with targets set up on the range
• •.22 Rifle and Pistol Shooting – Beginner-friendly firearms instruction for youth participants
• •Clay Target Shooting – Shotgun instruction available in multiple gauges for different skill levels
• •Fishing Programs – Partnerships with local organizations like Trout Unlimited for fishing education and gear donations

Meetings are held the last Wednesday of each month (no meetings November or December) at the rifle range at 6:30 PM. All members are welcome to attend. Life memberships are available for those who attend a monthly meeting.

In 2025, it featured instruction from Oconto County Sheriff's Deputies, archery competitions with multiple bullseyes hit by participants, fishing in a trout tank with take-home fish, clay shooting with various shotgun sizes, and beginner fly fishing and bait casting lessons. A fishing game station serves younger children. Prizes include cash, fishing poles (donated by local organizations), and raffle items.

The Suring Sportsman's Club maintains strong ties with local law enforcement and community organizations. The Village of Suring Police Department has recognized the club's work with thank you notes, and the group partners with the Oconto County Sheriff's Office for youth education programs.
