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.
Over the years, our club has held various shoots such as NRA Silhouette shoots, 3D shoots, Daisy BB League, 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 volunteer certified instructors to run these types of events.
Our club has the facilities to do these events; we just need you! Please consider helping out! Please contact one of the officers if you are interested.
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.
