All Shooters Please Read

Cleanliness at the range has been an issue for quite some time, and seems to be getting worse as of late.  The FCC board is asking for all members and guests to make an extra effort to clean up after shooting-- both at the benches, and around the berms and target areas.  We attempt to maintain a safe and clean place to shoot, and now we are asking shooters to respect the club and other members by leaving the range in “as good or better” condition than when you arrived.

Please do your share by helping in these areas:

  • ·        Police your brass
  • ·        Go downrange and collect your targets when the range is at cease fire and the range lights are on.  DO NOT leave your targets for the next guy to shoot—no matter how good their condition.  The next guy will not pick them up either, because they are “not his”, and they end up on the ground.
  • ·        DO NOT shoot the target stands that are provided!  It takes a lot of time and effort to constantly keep the range supplied.  If they continue to be shot up, we will stop providing them, and shooters will have to bring their own.
  • ·        If we see shooters that repeatedly fail to clean up after themselves, we may be forced to revoke their membership.

We thank you all in advance for your cooperation, and for keeping our facilities in excellent condition.


Thank You!!

Our club and Plunge Team raised $5600, the Muskegon Plunge Event raised $130,000. Our Team consisted of 18 plungers and many club spectators. We thank all our members and non-members that supported our team for this great event.

Dear members,

Thank you all for your past support and effort to make Fruitport Conservation Club a place we can all be proud of.

Your support has allowed many improvements to the club in recent years.  We have developed a 3D archery course, built a second trap field, and added more shooting benches at the range. We also have had new sand berms built and improved portions of other berms at the range..  This past summer we added fill sand near the archery tower to eliminate flooding in that area.  We also have chosen to support many local conservation-minded projects and youth programs.

As of January 1, 2020, club dues will increase to $55 per year to offset rising costs of doing business, maintaining the club, and funding future improvements.  Our most immediate need is to rebuild the full length of the 100 yard berm.  This berm needs improvement badly, and we have been lucky to find a great deal on the sand for this project, but it is still estimated to cost approximately $20,000 to complete the berm.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our club a nice, and safe, facility for all to enjoy.

Sincerely,

Fruitport Conservation Club Board

A BIG Thank You to Terinna Morton, and family!

Thank you for all the work you did to put together another successful and fun Rabbit/Squirrel Derby.
The annual rabbit/squirrel derby. The event was attended by approximately 42 kids and 46 adults. The kids all went hunting, and came back to the club for a great lunch. There were many great prizes and drawings, and every kid in attendance went home with at least 1 prize, many kids were lucky enough to win more. This has been a great event to teach kids how to safely hunt, and have a great day in the outdoors.

Michigan United Conservation Club Summer Camp

The Fruitport Conservation Club and it's membership will be sponsoring and paying for 10 kids to attend a week of camp, which is a 1 week camp designed to instill a love for the outdoors into Michigan kids. They will learn the value of conservation, and will experience fishing, canoeing, swimming, hiking, forestry, wildlife identification, archery, and more. They also will learn basic firearm safety and have the opportunity to earn their hunter education certificates, and learn sound conservation practices.
