NEW 5-STAND PAVILION

Waunakee received a WiDNR Shooting Range Grant for a new 5-stand shooting pavilion that will be built by our member volunteers starting in the Spring of 2023.  This is a 75/25 split in costs with the WiDNR responsible for 75% of the cash costs.  Some highlights:
  • 56-ft x 16-ft enclosed building - Post frame - steel sided inside and out
  • 6-ft overhang along the front  south side
  • Separate warming/waiting area
  • 10-ft ceilings
  • Overhead radiant heating 
  • LED field lighting for night shooting
  • New handicap parking
Along with the building we are extending some additional 2-rail fencing and we will be lighting the current trailer's 5-stand field with new LED Lighting. The plan is to be able to offer 5-stand throughout the year or if we have inclement weather and have the field setup for practice and learn to shoot throughout the season using our card system.

​

volunteers and material donations needed

The Club needs your help to make this happen.  If you are able to volunteer time and effort to make this a success, it will be appreciated by all.  We will also need donated materials this spring to complete the project.  Most needed will be electrical items.  A list will be made available at the club for volunteer help and material donations.
