Bainbridge Island Sportsmen's Club

The Bainbridge Island Sportsman Club (BISC) is a membership organization formed in 1929 by a group of hunters, fishers and conservationists. Since its founding the club has continued to expand its role in the community and we now welcome the general public to enjoy our facilities.

Operated and maintained by volunteers drawn from our membership, the objectives of the BISC are to:

Promote recreational shooting sports and gun safety and to educate the community in the safe and proper use of firearms for recreation, competition, hunting, and self-defense.

Promote other traditional outdoor recreational activities such as archery, fishing, camping and backpacking.

Provide programs for learning traditional outdoor activities and improving individual skills, with special emphasis on youth programs.

Support our local community through programs such as Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, a scholarship program, and providing range facilities for police training and Spring Kids Fishing Derby.

WHAT BISC OFFERS:    BISC offers a variety of family oriented activities focused on outdoor recreational activities.  BISC operates Archery, Pistol Caliber and Shotgun ranges under the supervision of volunteers certified as range safety officers by the appropriate organization (NRA, USA Archery) to ensure safe operations. BISC also offers a variety of classroom and hands-on instruction, including hunter safety training, archery instruction, and introductory firearm use, individual shooting coaches and safety classes. 

Facilities:

Archery Range: A sheltered Fully-Lighted Shooting Line for practice and lessons. 

Pistol Range: Covered shooting area with variable distances out to 25 yards.
