The Mainville Sportsman Club

The Mainville Sportsman's Club is an organization founded in 1965 to promote and enjoy pistol and rifle shooting in all their various forms. We have members involved in bench rest rifle competition, pistol competition, Cowboy Action shooting, and many who just like to come out to the range and spend the day with their favorite rifle or pistol. We are located in the Northeast corner of Pennsylvania near Bloomsburg, Pa. about 5 miles east of exit 242 on I-80 near Mainville, Pa.

Our facility consists of a covered forty bench rifle range, a six lane Cowboy Action Shooting area, and an indoor facility for meetings and other occasions. The rifle range has targets set at 100, 200, and 300 yards.

We have various activities throughout the year for our different shooters. Bench Rest competition, Cowboy Action Shoots, Buffalo Shoots, and our Ground Hog Shoot are scheduled events and are usually open to all.

Please take some time to enjoy our web site and visit us on one of our open shoots.

Should you have any comments, questions, etc., please contact one of our Officers below or leave e-mail with our web master.

As we all know meetings can be a very large pain in the fanny. Most of us just want a place to shoot and to relax on a sunny day. Our upcoming meetings however, will prove to be very important to all of us and we need to have a good turnout from our membership. We will be discussing projects at the club, officer elections, and other items that the members have on their mind. Please make an effort to support your club and attend these upcoming meetings!!!!

Our preliminary meetings were held in 2009 and we now have our new by-laws in place. All of our future meetings are now scheduled for the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at our club house. Please make plans to attend and help shape the future of our club and its facilities. We need your help !!!!!!!!

Thanks to Eddy Bergen and his crew, Mike Postowski and Joe Catone, we will soon have a fort for our Cowboy scenarios. Ed's planning on having the fort contain a jail and several shooting areas. Look for a completion date of July or August.

As can be seen we have arrived at a name for the fort. Fort Courage from the 'F Troop series'. Thanks to all the people who responded with various names.

Special Thanks to Arnold Halye, his son Joe and others who helped, we have just finished the benches and cover for our new range. Although the 'Practice Range' has been graded and seeded for about a year or more, we haven't had any benches to shoot from and no overhead cover. Now, thanks to their hard work we have both.

The range roof will bear a memorial plague in the memory of: Randall R. Fritz & James W. Bashore.
The moneys were donated to MSC at their families request.

The 2010 Schedules are posted for the Cowboy and Buffalo Shoots and the Bench rest Shoots

Thanks to 'Dusty Ed' and his helpers, 'Dad Blasted Dan', 'Diamond Jack', Joe Catone, and Krusty Ken for the newest addition to our Cowboy Props, Dusty Jed's Barber Shop.

Construction is complete and we are just about finished with the painting of the outside. Most of the outside is done and we will soon get around to painting the Barber pole. Notice the sign.
