Welcome to the

Sangre Shooting Sports Club

The Sangre Shooting Sports Club, an IRS 501(c)(7) exempt organization, was founded in 1988 to encourage organized rifle, pistol, shotgun, and firearm safety among citizens of the United States and active members of the NRA, with a view toward better care of firearms, as well as improved marksmanship. The Club offers covered outdoor rifle and pistol ranges from 25 to 200 yards. Informal trap-shooting is also available.

First-Time Gun Buyers Class

The Sangre Shooting Sports Club (SSSC) is sponsoring a class to assist first-time gun buyers to select the correct handgun for themselves. This educational and enjoyable lecture is informative and useful. It is a hands-on class. It can provide the needed confidence about making the right choice for a first gun. New gun owners can also benefit from this class as it may help to reinforce the buyer’s original decision as well as provide additional insight. The class and the instructor are personally endorsed by Custer County Sheriff Rich Smith. Before we can set a date, time, place, and cost, it is important that the number of committed participants sign up. Sign-ups can be done online at admin@sangreshooting.com, Attn: Tom Sullivan or Peggi Collins.
