description

The Butte Gun Club (BGC) is a historic nonprofit shooting organization in southwest Montana. Originally founded in 1880 as the Butte Rod and Gun Club, it serves as a hub for competitive marksmanship rooted in Second Amendment traditions. While the club’s physical address is not publicly listed, it operates out of Butte, MT.

Key facilities include:

  • High-Power Range: Officially rated to 800 yards, with extended use to 1,000 yards during certain structured events or precision rifle classes.
  • Silhouette Range: Features unknown-distance targets, suitable for NRL-style practice and dynamic positional shooting.
  • Rocker Range: Follows a rotating weekly schedule for bench rest, pistol, silhouette, and high-power rifle use.

Benches are fixed and carpeted, while the silhouette area incorporates natural and artificial firing points. A historic Bullseye House, dating back to 1939, adds character to the property.

Range use prioritizes scheduled events and organizes group training. While no caliber restrictions are noted for rifles or pistols, individual use is secondary to club activities.

Public access is limited. Membership is required, though fee details are not disclosed online. No formal training staff is advertised, but the range supports hosted instruction and match days.

This facility best suits PRS-style shooters, precision rifle competitors, and regional club marksmen seeking access to structured long-range environments.
