The Derby includes a fishing competition and a fund raising raffle at the Clubhouse. Refreshments and food are available for purchase and prizes are awarded for the biggest fish in several categories.-Rifle and handgun shooting informal competitions are held each Monday evening at the Club's shooting range behind the Clubhouse. Shooting starts at about 6:00 PM each Monday.
-Trap shooting takes place every Thursday evening, weather permitting, beginning at around 6:00 PM. Clay pigeons are provided by the Club at a cost of $3.00 per round. Shooters must bring their own shotguns and shotgun shells.
Hunter Education/Firearm Safety:
Classes are held at the Clubhouse several times each summer. Certified instructors teach the classes and hold "hands on" training sessions to familiarize students with various firearms and archery equipment.Archery Training:
Classes are provided by club members to area youth groups including Girl Scouts and youth summer camp participants.Charitable Contributions:
The Club has a history of giving back to the community by making donations to the boy and Girl Scout programs in the area as well as supporting the local volunteer fire departments. We have also donated to medical research organizations, high school programs and other organizations.Clubhouse Maintenance:
The clubhouse is a historical log building built by Civilian Conservation Corp during the Great Depression in the USA. The building is situated on a 40-acre parcel leased from the Village of Lake Linden. Because of the nature of the building construction regular work and expenditures are required to maintain the building. For example the roof was replaced several years ago and the exterior was painted one year ago. Work bees are held at least twice a year to help maintain the Clubouse and its grounds and the shooting range facilities.

History: The details of the beginning history of our club are very sketchy. There were bits and pieces organized in 1913, but it really organized in 1921. On October 18, 1944 a meeting was held at the Gordon Hillenbrand's home, where it was voted to acquire the Boys Scout Camp from the Lake Linden Village. This takeover occurred on November 3, 1944. The deer feeding program was started with just two feeding stations. Today that number is over eighteen, with many participants and volunteers. The 50th Anniversary of our club was celebrated in 1973. The club played an active role in the 100-year celebration of Lake Linden in 1985. Our club was responsible for hosting the dance held on Saturday at the old ice arena. We were able to raise $5,000 to help defray the cost of the centennial celebration. We are active with the boy scouts, providing the clubhouse and other facilities, for their various activities. The clubhouse has become our home. We have leased and used the clubhouse for 62 years. Our current lease expires in 2020.

Deer Feeding: Historically, we have given a high priority to helping deer survive the harsh Keweenaw winters. A large portion of our funds is dedicated for winter deer survival. As sportsmen, we have observed first hand the benefits of this feeding program. Due to the extreme winter conditions, the Keweenaw deer population is low. The feeding program helps keep the herd at a socially acceptable level. See the our newsletter and the Keweenaw Island Coalition web site for more information.
Hunter Safety Class: 2017

Spring Hunter Education Pictures:
We have completed another successful season of Hunter Education certifying 37 new hunters. In addition, we helped the 6th graders at Camp Nesbit and the local Girl Scouts at their annual campout learn archery. A big thank-you goes out to the NRA Foundation, UP Whitetails-Keweenaw, and the Calumet-Keweenaw Sportsmen’s Club for their continued support.
See our newsletter for current information.

Trap Range: We offer trap shooting Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm, from early April through late October. We usually run an informal trap team shooting competition.

We have 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 yard targets plus the 15 yard handgun target area. Targets and sand bags are available on site. Monday nights at about 6:00 pm, throughout the summer, is a time to bring a rifle or pistol for some friendly competition.
