Middletown Sportsmen's Club was founded in 1947 and sits at 6943 Michael Road in Middletown, Ohio. It is an outdoor club for shotgun sports, rifle and pistol shooting, archery, fishing and camping, and it is governed by a 12-person Board of Directors elected by the membership.
Shotgun facilities include trap fields (the site lists 20 on its home and trap pages, and 16 on the membership page and an alternate trap page), 2 skeet fields, a 14-station sporting clays course (up to 15 stations available) with 50- or 100-target rounds, a 5-Stand, and 2 FITASC parcours. Squads on the sporting clays course are two to six shooters, and eye and ear protection is mandatory. The rifle and pistol range has 23 lanes under a canopy, from 10 yards out to 200 yards (the membership page lists 7 to 200 yards), and is open to members only. An archery practice range and a Cowboy Range are also on the grounds.
The club hosts competitions for trap, skeet, rifle, pistol, sporting clays and cowboy action. Cowboy matches run by the Big Irons are held the first Saturday of the month from March through November, with additional Big Irons matches the second Saturday in May, July, September and November. Other listed events include ATA and NSCA shoots, 22LR matches, Calcutta shoots, the Mid-American Shoot, Spring Fling and Mayhem Open. A pistol match schedule posted for 2023 ran on the third Saturday of the month at $5 per gun.
Shotgun ammunition is sold at the club, and reloading components (rifle, pistol and shotgun powder, wads, primers, and shot in sizes #8 and #7.5) are sold at the main counter. The club also has a 3-acre stocked fishing lake (optional lake membership), a campground for members at $15 per night with water and electric only, and a clubhouse. The Lodge can be rented for half or full days and seats up to 100, with a full kitchen and audio-visual setup. Corporate and team-building events are offered, with private accommodations for groups of 50 and over.
Membership is individual and covers the member's spouse and children under 18. It includes exclusive access to the rifle and pistol range, reduced clay target rates, and monthly member meetings with dinner and raffles. Guests can shoot clay targets at non-member rates with a guest pass.
