Bring the whole family and check out these new stations! We've got something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or an expert.

The Sporting Clays course is open seven days a week, and located at the North Range. All shooters must either have an annual membership or a day pass to access the course. Golf Cart rentals are available.

Less than three weeks remain until the G***K 2026 Annual Shoot & Gunny Challenge on September 18th - 20th. Spectators are welcome, and sign-ups are still open at https://gssf.pro/.

What is the "Gunny Challenge"?

The Gunny Challenge originated in 2005 when Gunnery Sergeant, R. Lee Ermey, AKA “The Gunny”, would end the competition by competing against another celebrity. The Gunny Challenge is carried on in his honor with a competition of the top GSSF competitors.

To compete in the Gunny Challenge, a competitor must be a Matchmeister, which is the overall winner of a GSSF match holding the best time across all qualifying divisions. In this unique shoot-off between the Matchmeisters, they are issued a G***K pistol and ammunition for a surprise course for the challenge.
