History:

Sportsmen's Gun & Reel Club Started as a club in 1957 and became a non-profit organization founded in 1961. The club purchased 57 acres from James Wagner near the Amherst/Lorain city limits. Many years later, Sportsmen's Gun & Reel was joined by two other area gun clubs; Avon Rod & Gun and Dover Bay Gun Club. This allowed the addition of two trap fields and two skeet fields. We currently have 5 Trap fields (4 lighted), 2 lighted Skeet fields, and a Sporting Clays Course.

Mission:

The mission of the Sportsmen's Gun and Reel Club is to provide our members and guests a safe, hospitable venue for the enjoyment of the shotgun sports, to promote organized shooting competitions, to provide opportunities for members, guests, and youth to receive shooting instruction and develop their shooting skills, and to create an atmosphere of good sportsmanship among all we encounter, while keeping firearm safety paramount in the pursuit of these activities.
