Comprised in part by returning veterans from WWII, the Winnequah Gun Club was formed in 1948 and soon began to purchase land. Over the years, the club has planted more than 150,000 trees to preserve the topsoil and act as a noise barrier.

Except for the brief respite during WWII, pistol and rifle matches have been held continuously on the property from the early 1920’s to this date. Every year matches are held drawing competitors from around the country and around the world. In the past, army reserve and National Guard units have drilled on the range. Army marksmanship teams and individual team members continue to compete in matches here. Currently, the gun club conducts Silhouette Highpower matches out to 500 meters.
