Guest Pass for Rifle/Pistol Range
Members are allowed to bring guests to the rifle range. We began this policy several years ago at the request of membership. It seems to be serving our members well and we have not received any complaints so far. The guest pass is good for the entire day of the request and the cost is $10 per guest. The host-member must be present on the range with the guest.
To bring a guest you must first obtain approval and then purchase one Guest Pass per guest. Approvals are required so we can monitor the volume of guests to help ensure our regular members are not crowded off the rifle range.
Approvals require that you provide your membership number, guest quantity and date of guest attendance.
- Approvals can be secured by calling or texting (preferred) Darrell Brown at 262-707-1472 or by email at membership@saukvillegunclub.com
- Guest passes can be purchased online at https://saukvillegunclub.com/shop/product/guest-pass/
IMPORTANT! The host-member is responsible for guest behavior, particularly as it relates to range safety. Guest behavior is applied to the member-host as if they committed the infraction. Please review club rules with your guest before going to the range. Note that the “No rapid fire on the Rifle / Pistol Range. Shots must be at least 1 second apart..” rule continues to be the most popular violation of club rules. Club rules can be found at https://saukvillegunclub.com/rules

A Girl & A Gun
Were you aware Saukville Rifle & Pistol Club proudly hosts a chapter of A Girl & A Gun?
A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League is a ladies-only organization established by women shooters for women pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooters! The league is designed to take beginners to whatever skill level they wish to achieve and provide experienced shooters with more opportunities. The objective of some is to improve their skill levels for self-defense and competitive shooting. Others also are interested in learning how to choose the right guns, gear, and accessories for long-term participation in the community.
Thank you for reading,
Saukville Gun Club
