GEM CITY (1)

Welcome to the Gem City Outdoorsmen Club

Since 1954, our club has been a community of sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts dedicated to conservation, education, and the responsible enjoyment of the outdoors. We are proud to promote safe hunting, fishing, and shooting practices while fostering strong relationships with landowners, families, and fellow outdoorsmen.
As a non-profit, non-political organization, we are committed to serving our community through youth programs, hunter safety courses, and outdoor education opportunities for all ages. Whether you’re a seasoned sportsman or just beginning your journey into the outdoors, the Gem City Outdoorsmen Club is here to support, educate, and share in the tradition of outdoor recreation.

UPCOMING EVENTS

GCOC Club Updates
Dear member of GCOC
 
Again we are dealing with wanton disregard for our rifle and pistol range. One or more of our members has seriously defaced the rifle/pistol range frames that hold targets. The 50 yard frame has been shot full of holes which is weakening this structure. The rubber pieces that are hung on these frames should be the only place that targets are to be hung. There is ample room between them and the frame such that the frames should never be hit by bullets. 
This damage is being caused by someone who is firing their weapon without aiming or who are placing unauthorized materials on the frames.  We have found plastic bottles in the trash that have been used as targets.  I will remind you that ONLY paper targets are to be used and they are to be attached to the rubber pieces that are suspended for that purpose.
If anyone is found to be abusing these rules, they will be escorted off the property immediately and will forfeit their membership privileges permanently.
This is YOUR club, so respect it. If you witness anyone abusing the grounds, please take steps to address the issue, record their license plate, and report the information to one of the directors of the club immediately.
 
Thanks
 
David Karle
President GCOC
 
 

Update: 7/30

The wait is almost over! We are excited to announce that construction on the Long Range building has been completed.

Our team is currently putting the finishing touches on the new shooting benches, and we look forward to reopening the Long Range very soon.

We would like to thank everyone for their patience and support throughout this project. The improvements made will provide an even better experience for our members and guests for years to come.

Stay tuned for our official reopening announcement—we can’t wait to see you back on the Long Range!

Update: 7/2/2026

The 100 yard pavilion was concrete today and will be ready for use either off the benches or in prone position thanks to our membership drive.

So get your tickets in so that we can continue to improve our grounds.

A huge thank you to Jereme Bonam of Eagle Scouts for donating his time and talent to refurbish our archery sign!

The sign looks fantastic, and we truly appreciate the craftsmanship and effort that went into bringing it back to life. Support like this helps keep our club looking its best and shows the strength of our community.

Please join us in thanking Jereme for his generosity and dedication. We are grateful for your support!

Thank you, Jereme—we appreciate everything you’ve done for the Gem City Outdoorsmen Club!
