Destruction

Repaired

Photos here show what some irresponsible or just plain destructive shooters did to the 50 yard range during the winter. The rifle league team had to replace all the 2x4x10ft horizontal stringers as well as all 20 target holders. If this wanton destruction continues, it will not be long until the vertical STEEL uprights will be destroyed as well. Is this the way you want your range to look? If you see anyone shooting at the uprights or at the wood, please report them to the Gopher Board. That kind of shooter does not warrant membership at Gopher Campfire Club.

WELCOME

The Board of Directors welcomes you to our website. Our goal is to make the Gopher Campfire Conservation Club one of the finest organizations of it's kind in the area.

Founded in April, 1910 by Carlos Avery and Sam Anderson, the Gopher Campfire Conservation Club is located approximately 6.5 miles North of Hutchinson, MN at 24718 County Road 7 (Bear Lake Road).

The purposes for which this club is organized are to conserve, restore, and manage the game, fish, and other wildlife and it's habitat; to seek and procure improved hunting and fishing for landowners and sportsman. To promote interest in hunting, shooting, archery, fishing, and to encourage and educate it's members and the general public in the principles of safety. To encourage and provide social and friendly interaction among it's members.
