San Antonio Trap & Skeet (San Antonio Gun Club) is a public shotgun club at 928 E Contour Dr in San Antonio, chartered in 1921 and at its current location since 1930. It is described as the oldest active gun club in the country and is minutes from downtown and the airport. The grounds are owned and operated by the City of San Antonio and run by a volunteer Board of Directors with a Club Manager.
The club has five American skeet fields, five American trap fields set for registered singles, handicap and doubles, a five-stand sporting clays range with five stations and at least eight traps, and an international trap (bunker) range supporting single and double trap. It hosts registered NSSA skeet, ATA trap and international matches each year. Shot size is limited to 7½, 8 or 9.
USA Shooting designated the club a Certified Training Center in 2013. Private instructors work at the club, including NSSA-certified skeet instructors, an NSSA/NRA-certified coach for skeet, trap and sporting clays, and a USA Shooting certified Olympic bunker coach. Instruction is offered for beginners through advanced shooters; contact each instructor for rates.
The clubhouse has a stone fireplace, sofas, tables and a private meeting space. A lighted pavilion with picnic tables and BBQ grills is available for events, and catering is allowed. The club hosts private and corporate events, charity shoots, gender reveals, graduation parties and team-building outings.
The club is open to the public and membership is not required, though members pay lower per-round fees and can buy 10-round cards. Basic, Life and Senior Life memberships cover family members. The 2026-style events calendar includes Roadrunner Skeet, the Bob Roberts Memorial Trap Shoot, the Bird Hunters League, Toepperwein Skeet and Toepperwein Trap.
