Irwin Sportsmen's Association's mission shall be the encouragement and development of the honesty, good fellowship, and self discipline which are essential to good sportsmanship in all phases of sports afield as well as the conservation of wildlife and to own or lease grounds and buildings for these purposes.
ISA offers basic Hunter-Trapper Education (HTE) at
least once a year. Lunch (hot dogs, chips, pop) is provided. Classes start
at 8:30 AM and end by 4:00 PM.The class for 2025 is in
the system scheduled for April 12.
**Trap Shooting
Sundays at 12:30 **
Over the years, our club has held various shoots such as NRA Silhouette shoots, 3D shoots, Daisy BB League,
Junior Rifle Club, etc. These are great events to try your hand at different skills and have friendly competition with others.
Do you have some spare time to give back to the
community? These events are open to the public and provide a
positive impact on our community at large and a safe environment to teach our
youth safe practices. We have now reached a point where we do not have
enough volunteer certified instructors/coaches/RSOs to run some of these types of events.
ISA and the Junior Club are looking for volunteers to
assist with our events, instuctors, range safety officers, trap, and coaching.
Volunteers get working party credit for
assisting. Contact an officer for information.
Our club has
the facilities to do shotgun, rifle, Pistol, Archery, and BB events; we just
need you! Please consider helping out!

Please remember to close and lock the clubhouse and front gate if you are the last person there. Too often they are left open. If you do lock them up, it will save the club the expense of installing monitoring devices to record users. Our situation is that if left open, our club could be ransacked, burned, or a non-member may be injured and sue us. Thanks.

Junior Rifle Team received a 2024 Midway USA Foundation Range Improvement
