October 2023 News From Our Board of Directors
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.

Guest Pass for Rifle/Pistol Range
Members are allowed to bring guests to the rifle range. 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 [email protected]
- 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 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.
