The Abilene Gun Club is a not for profit organization dedicated to promote safe and responsible gun ownership. We boast 23 acres and are a family friendly outdoor recreational rifle and pistol shooting range. With approximately 1000 family membership holders that include men, women and supervised youths.

The Abilene Gun Club has existed in its current location for over fifty years. The club was founded in the late 1940's after WWII. During this time we have made our facility available to the Abilene Police Department prior to the construction of their nearby facility.
