LRPC Quick Facts

Our Mission

Since 1968, the Lakeland Rifle & Pistol Club has encouraged organized shooting sports among citizens of our community, fostering knowledge of safe firearm handling, proper care, and improved marksmanship.

Beyond technical skill, we cultivate the character traits that define good sportsmanship: honesty, fellowship, self-discipline, teamwork, and self-reliance. These qualities—developed through patient practice and mutual respect—create both better shooters and stronger communities.

Membership & Access

Members enjoy year-round range access, while monthly matches offer the public an opportunity to shoot alongside our members. We welcome shooters of all backgrounds and experience levels who share our commitment to safety, skill development, and mutual respect.
