The Willow River Rod and Gun Club sits on 37 acres and has several features and amenities for our members. The club is open to all members in good standing nearly every day of the year. Members abide by an honor system that includes treating the property and other club members with respect by observing safe practices. Here is a list of club features and amenities and instructions for each.
The Willow River Rod and Gun Club is a private club. Our goal is to maintain our private status with the entrance of the site having a powered gate requiring card access to enter and leave the site. Upon presenting a valid card to the card reader, the gate will open. There is a sensor to prevent the gate from closing while an obstruction is in the way. Once all obstructions are clear, a timer will wait approximately 15 seconds before the gate will close. We ask that members help maintain the security of the site by making sure the gate closes behind them. On event nights, you may find the gate blocked in the open position to minimize wear and tear on the gate. This is normal and will be unblocked at the conclusion of the event. If you find the gate broken or not in working order, please call the club number at (715) 246-4884 and leave a voicemail about the issue. The Membership Director will remedy the situation as soon as possible.
The Willow River Rod and Gun Club has a clubhouse located centrally on club property. The clubhouse serves as the meeting place for leagues, board meetings, and events. Food and beverages can be purchased at the clubhouse during events. A soda machine is available in the front entrance which is open at all times.
Restrooms are located in the rear of the clubhouse and can be accessed at any time with a gate key.
The Pistol / Rimfire Range is located just inside the front gate on the west side of the driveway. Parking is on the East side of the driveway, across from the range.
The trap ranges are located on each side of the clubhouse. The trap ranges have automatic throwers that are for league use only.
A patterning range is located between the trap ranges.
The rifle range is located on the South edge of the property and is accessed by following the driveway around the trap ranges. The rifle range has target backers at 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards.
The outdoor archery range is located across the parking lot from the clubhouse. This range has targets at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards.
The 3-D archery range is generally used for 3-D tournaments. The course is open during the warm months for practice on bale targets. The start of the course is located just down the hill from the outdoor archery range. The course is a trail system and ends near the front gate.
The clubhouse contains an indoor archery range generally used for league shooting.
There is a small play area located on the West side of the clubhouse. Children are welcome to play on the equipment provided at their own risk. Parents need to be responsible for their children, keeping in mind, this play equipment is near 4 club ranges.
