About
Located at 5657 Killian Rd, North Tonawanda, NY, the Tonawandas Sportsmen’s Club is one of Western New York’s most established and respected private sporting clubs, offering comprehensive shooting facilities alongside a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts. Catering to hunters, pistol and rifle marksmen, and shotgun sports fans alike, the club’s expansive property provides a unique blend of recreational, educational, and competitive opportunities.
At the heart of the club’s firearms programming are three key ranges: an indoor pistol range, an outdoor pistol range, and an outdoor rifle range — each with structured access tied to mandatory safety and skills orientation coursework. This approach underscores the club’s commitment to responsible firearm handling, NRA‑aligned safety standards, and a culture of lifelong learning.
The Tonawandas Sportsmen's Club
The indoor pistol range offers year‑round access in a controlled environment, while the outdoor pistol and rifle ranges allow members to stretch out distances, engage with varied firearms, and train in real‑world conditions. The outdoor rifle setup also supports fixed distances up to 200 yd, making it a valuable asset for precision shooters.
Beyond firearms, Tonawandas Sportsmen’s Club features trap, skeet, and sporting clays fields, a dedicated archery course, and seasonal hunting programs — providing a full spectrum of shooting sports activities. Social elements like the clubhouse and Shooters Bar & Grill cultivate camaraderie, making the facility as much a community hub as a training ground.
Membership is family‑oriented, with opportunities for guests to participate under member supervision, fostering inclusivity while maintaining high safety and operational standards.

The Outdoor Rifle Range at Tonawandas Sportsmen’s Club serves shooters seeking precision practice with rifles, carbines, and pistol calibers. This facility features 10 rifle stations with benches under a shelter for long‑gun and carbine use at fixed distances of 50 yd, 100 yd, and 200 yd — ideal for zeroing optics, sighting in scopes, and honing accuracy with rifles. Additionally, 2 pistol stations positioned at 7 yd and 15 yd accommodate rimfire and other pistol caliber firearms, offering versatility in training.
Rules require that all shooting be conducted from the bench and that shooters use the posted target lanes without cross‑lane firing. Shotguns are permitted only with deer slugs at rifle stations, ensuring safe backstop engagement with larger firearms.

The Outdoor Pistol Range at Tonawandas Sportsmen’s Club is an open‑air clay target area tailored for pistol shooters and those training with pistol‑caliber carbines or rimfire firearms. This range features a standard firing line with target frames where shooters must place their own cardboard targets (common size 24″ × 18″) and fire from a single line for safe, controlled practice.
Shooter safety credentials — in the form of a Yellow lanyard — are issued after completion of the outdoor pistol safety course. Only pistols, pistol‑caliber carbines, and rimfire firearms are permitted, with all participants required to display proper credentials on the range at all times.
The range accommodates goals from defensive training to accuracy work at distances up to approximately 25 yards, with rules emphasizing safe handling and predictable shot placement. This makes it ideal for members and escorted guests seeking practical skills in an outdoor setting with peer support and a community atmosphere.

The Indoor Pistol Range at Tonawandas Sportsmen’s Club provides a dedicated, weather‑protected environment for pistol shooters to practice accuracy and refine skills throughout the year. Designed for both centerfire handguns (up to .45 ACP) and .22 LR rimfire, this range features a 50‑foot shooting distance with automated retrievers for convenient target retrieval and quick practice cycles. Training and safety are central to access — shooters must complete the club’s mandatory indoor safety course, which includes demonstrating marksmanship proficiency by hitting a 12″ target 5 out of 5 at 20 ft before a key FOB is issued for range access.
