WELCOME TO SPORTING CLAYS AT REDMOND ROD & GUN CLUB

 

The "Twisted Tree" Sporting Clays shooting range in Central Oregon is the high desert experience with 16 stations and over 40 target presentations all well placed within sage brush, juniper trees and mossy lava rock. Sporting Clays shooting range stations offer multiple machines to provide a fun, high desert shooting experience where you can observe multiple targets and shoot various combinations of clay birds and presentations. 

A southern circular course is appropriately named for the "twisted" tree located on the 6th station. Most of the 16 stations are covered and four of them offer elevated platform shooting with gun racks and benches.  Each station is large enough for a shooting squad to use the Long Range electronics and many provide mountain views of the Cascade Mountain Range from Mt. Hood to Mt. Bachelor.

The pathway is ATV friendly and is easily walked with just enough separation from station to station where the shooter feels as if they are the only one participating. All of the materials for construction of the course were donated by shooters and local businesses. The stations were built entirely with volunteer labor including the practice/warm-up shoot stands, each with 4 different clay presentations.

Twisted Tree Sporting Clays course is definitely a bucket list course that each of us should put on our shooting schedule.  There is no electricity on site so the check in station, maintenance building, every battery-operated throwing machine and each card reader is solar-powered.  A friendly volunteer will greet you and from there your experience begins.  Sporting Clays shooting is a great year-round family and friends experience!
