Merchandise Trap Shoot – August 20th

Our club is hosting a Merchandise Trap shoot on Sunday, August 20th from 10am to 4pm.

It will be open to the public, so please bring all of your friends!

We will have the following shoot types:

• Follow the Leader
• Annie Oakley
• One Target per Post

The entry fee will be variable with a $4 minimum depending on the prize.

If you are interested in volunteering to help for this event, please email membership@saukvillegunclub.com

Please note, this date has been changed from the original date of August 19th to avoid conflict with Sauk Trail’s Todd Daane Memorial Shoot which is also on Saturday Auguest 19th. Todd Daane was a good friend of our club and we didn’t want to conflict with his Memorial Shoot. While we’d still love your participation at our Merchandise Shoot on 8/20, please also consider his Memorial Shoot on 8/19 at Sauk Trail.

Important update on our Rifle Range

We have unfortunate news about our rifle range. The land that our rifle range resides on was sold by the prior owners that we leased the land from. Unfortunately, we were not able to reach an agreement with the new land owner for continued use whether to lease or to purchase the range. The new land owner has permitted our continued use of the range until November 17th, 2023.

We are currently working on building a new rifle range near the Roger Cross Action Shooting bays as well as an improved access road to that range. More communication will come out regarding this in the future. It is our hope to minimize, or avoid alltogether, any duration without a rifle range as we realize the importance of this to all club members.

Please note: Anyone (member or otherwise) using the rifle range without permission from the new owner after 11/17/2023 will be trespassing on private property and subject to the laws and penalties governing our state under the sole discretion of the new land owner. We will post signs when the time is appropriate.

As stated above, more communication will be coming regarding this in the coming months.

2023 Disabled Veteran Rifle Shoot

Our 2023 Disabled Veteran Rifle Shoot was a huge success. We hosted over 10 veterans and provided them with firearms, ammo, a steak and corn lunch with lots of great desert choices and t-shirts. It was a beautiful day with lots of smiles and laughs had by all. This year the big calibers got a lot of attention. The M1, 1919, 45-70 Lever, 300 Win Mag, AR-10 and 500 S&W got a lot of use.

This event wouldn’t be possible without all of the support from our Saukville Gun Club Memberships, as well as donations and support from Lickteig Chiropractic, Second Brigade M.C., J&H Heating, Sherri Melichar, Nick Spady & Family, John & Bev Welke, WI Vietnam Vets CH 1, VFW Post 5373, Normag Gunsmithing, Milwaukee VA Hospital, Thomas Fasanello, Kelly Einbeck, Milwaukee Police Officers Conservation & Sportsman Club.
