Owensville Gun Club

Located in East-Central Missouri, the Owensville Gun Club offers a focused lineup of competitive rifle and clay target shooting events, including CMP rifle, carbine, and American Rimfire Benchrest matches. The range is officially affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). It is known for running some of the most well-organized local matches in the region.

‍

The rifle range supports distances from 100 to 200 yards, with event-based stages like prone rapid fire and bullseye target work using SR and SR-1 targets. While the club website references range from 25 to 550 yards, match distances are typically capped at 200 yards. Prone shooting is encouraged, with accommodations for age or physical limitations.

‍

Facilities include:

• Trap, skeet, and sporting clays
• 100-yard rimfire and pistol range
• CMP-style rifle line with carpeted prone areas
• Match days with four shooting relays and priority for veterans and long-time supporters

‍

Membership is open to U.S. citizens 18 years or older with a valid permit for firearm possession, at $50 for lifetime enrollment plus an annual fee of $20. While public access rules are not clearly stated, new shooters are welcome at CMP matches, with early arrival and volunteerism often rewarded with preferred shooting slots.

Owensville Gun Club is designed for disciplined rifle competitors, especially CMP shooters, vintage rifle enthusiasts, and benchrest rimfire competitors.
