Washtenaw Sportsman's Club (WSC) is dedicated to the advancement and excellence of the shooting sports. Founded in 1946, WSC is located west of Ypsilanti on almost two hundred wooded, rolling acres. We have a number of facilities and ranges that support each of the shooting disciplines . We are proud of the fact that each discipline can boast both State and National Champions!

WSC has some of the finest archery ranges in the state. Our indoor range features 24 shooting lanes with distances up to 35 yards. Our outdoor ranges include a PAA range, a 3-D range, as well as field hunter and broadhead silhouette ranges.

The Pistol and Small-bore Rifle Ranges feature a covered firing line with distances from 25 to 100 yards. Bowling pins, steel plate shoots, and IDPA style shoots are scheduled throughout the year. In addition, .22 Caliber small-bore silhouette matches are conducted from the spring through the fall months each year.

The Trap and Skeet ranges are host to leagues, open practice and muzzleloader skeet shoots. Our unique layout allows Trap and Skeet to be shot simultaneously.

The muzzle loading range has a covered and enclosed firing line with shooting distances up to 200 yards. Flintlock, cap and ball, and black powder metallic cartridge shoots are conducted year round. A hawk and knife range is located next to the muzzle loader range.

WSC has one of the longest rifle ranges in the state. Shooting distances up to 600 yards are available. Covered shooting is available for distances up to 200 yards. Our rifle range is host to organizations such as the Cast Bullet Association, Varminter Biathlon and Hi-Power rifle groups.

WSC hosts a compliment of programs for youth:

Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is conducted in our clubhouse archery range during the winter months.
The NRA Junior Rifle Program is conducted year round. During the winter months, participants shoot air rifles indoors; then, move outdoors for work with .22 caliber rifles and pistols when warmer weather returns. Each participant receives safety training and works towards their expert certificate.

Each year we sponsor a number of events involving the community.

Several Boy Scout campouts and activities are conducted in which the scouts earn a variety of merit badges.
A Cub Scout day camp is conducted several days each year.
WSC hosts the Wild Women of Washtenaw event every year. This event is unique in that only women are allowed to participate. Camping, camaraderie and education is the venue, enjoyed by the women and instructors alike.
Each October we host Deer Hunter Firearm Sight In Days on our rifle range.

We are a conservation organization. We are affiliated with the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC). We sponsor a cabin at the MUCC Cedar Lake Kids Camp and assist the organization with camp maintenance. The Cedar Lake facility is a joint cooperative effort of MUCC, it's affiliated clubs and The Michigan DNR that teaches conservation and passes our outdoor heritage to future generations.

WSC is affiliated with many conservation and shooting sports organizations. A detailed listing of our affiliations can be found on the Affiliations page.
