A local chapter of one of America's oldest conservation outfits — founded in 1922, still swinging. We're volunteers, hunters, anglers, and sport shooters who keep the fields cut, the ponds stocked, and the line hot.
We shoot, fish, and gather at 1046 N. State Road 17 in Logansport, Indiana. What started as a handful of sportsmen protecting local hunting and fishing grew into a full-blown shotgun sports club — multiple trap fields, a skeet field, a 5 stand layout, and stocked ponds on the property.
Nobody's cashing a paycheck here. Fields, clubhouse, schedule, seasoned shooters lending a hand, mowing, pond maintenance — all of it happens because members put in the time. That's the League's model, and it's why the place feels like a club, not a business.
We're a chapter of the national Izaak Walton League of America, named after the 17th-century angler who literally wrote the book on fishing. Fitting.
The property is bigger than the firing line. Multiple shooting fields for trap, skeet, and 5 stand — and stocked ponds for members who came for the "Walton" half of the name.
Dedicated fields and platforms for every discipline — built and maintained by members themselves. Concrete pads, covered stations, and enough elbow room to shoot without waiting on a crowd.
Stocked ponds with shoreline access (fishing is members only). Bring a rod and a folding chair — kids fish free with a member on the bank.
Founded in 1922 to defend America's soil, water, woods, and wildlife. A century later, that fight still runs the show here in Cass County — our ponds, our timber, our sky.
Trap, skeet, and 5 stand fields groomed by the same hands that shoot them. Practice Monday afternoon and Friday morning, plus Wednesday-night trap games under the lights.
Twelve-year-olds. Grandfathers. First-timers holding a shotgun for the first shell of their life. Same firing line, same rules, same welcome.
The clubhouse on State Road 17 has been standing longer than most of us have been shooting. It keeps standing because members show up, swing hammers, and pull triggers.
Weddings, reunions, and receptions under the timber beams and string lights. Same property, different dress code — we know how to throw a party too.
The clubhouse hall becomes a classroom for hunter safety and education. Tables up front, instructors who've spent decades in Indiana fields and marshes, and range space out back for the hands-on portion. Youth and first-timers are exactly who we want in those chairs.

Second Saturday of the month, 8:30 AM. Timber comes down, banks get cleared, fields get mowed. Nobody's paid — that's the whole point.
Trap, skeet, 5-stand, and building rental are open to the public — roll in during a practice, bring your own gun and shells, and break a few clays. Fishing and the gun ranges are for members only. If it feels like home, we'll tell you how to join.
