Home About Us

About Us

The Michigan City Rifle Club was originally founded in 1931 by mainly Smallbore Shooters. The Club has been affiliated with the National Rifle Association since that time.

The first range was on the second floor of an automobile agency (formerly a livery stable) at the corner of Michigan and Washington streets in Michigan City. In 1940 the Club aquired the use of a loft above the floor of the South Shore Railroad car repair shop. That range was just big enough for 6 firing positions, a 50 foot range and a small meeting area. A few matches were actually held outdoors in the CITY LIMITS!

In about 1950 the group of Small Bore shooters purchased the present 15 acres. A back stop was raised, trees were cleared, and target holders were installed at 50 and 100 yards. Two railroad cars were donated by the South Shore RR. One was used for storage, and the other for statistical computations and scoring. The cabooses were later destroyed by arson and the present Field house and storage buildings were constructed. In 1952, the Indoor Range/Club House was built. This building incorporates the 50 feet, 12 position indoor firing range and meeting area. Completion was accomplished with membership labor, personal loans and donations.

The club owes its past progress to a nucleus of Small Bore shooters and a Junior Club which are no longer active. Many divisions and activities have been created over the years and are still very active. The club has also been host to Hunter Education classes and Women's Firearms Training.

For over 75 years The Club has grown and prospered on nominal dues and volunteer contributions and efforts of the membership.

  • Facilities
  • Membership

    The Michigan City Rifle Club is open to new members and accepts membership applications at the regular monthly meetings, which are the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30. You can obtain a membership application at the club during open events (several events are open to the public), or from a division representative. You can also pick up an application at Kempf Gun Shop (Johnson Rd & Hwy 20, Michigan City, IN). You will need to bring your completed application, and proof of NRA membership (see requirements), plus prorated dues, to the monthly meeting. Your application will be reviewed and voted upon at the next regular meeting. You will then be on probationary status (no key card or voting privileges) until all requirements are fulfilled.

    NRA membership is required to join The Michigan City Rifle Club. Additional requirements include, but are not limited to, participating in two scheduled shooting activities, 8 hours of contributing to the welfare of the club, and a safety and indoctrination course.
