Promoting the safe enjoyment of shooting sports.
Located on north side of Highway 28 West approximately 2 miles west of Owensville, MO city limits. We are affiliated with the National Rifle Association (NRA), Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). and Missouri Sport Shooting Association (MSSA). We are also a strong supporter of the Gasconade County 4H Shooting Sports Program.
Facilities: Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, 100 Yard Rimfire and Pistol Range, and 25-550 Yard Rifle Range.
For safety purposes and to keep noise and maintenance of the facilities at a minimum, Full-Auto and large caliber (example - .50 BMG) and similar type firearms are not permitted.
Non-members are invited to participate in any Special or Benefit match and all the matches listed on the Events Schedule page, however, for other non-match recreational shooting, sighting in rifles and pistols, etc., range privileges are for current members and their guests only.
A current member is one who has paid the annual maintenance/insurance dues for this year. As of March 1, 2008 any member who has not paid their maintenance/insurance fee will have membership privileges, including use of ranges for personal recreational shooting, suspended until the fee is paid.
The club's By-Laws and Rules and Regulations are posted at the end of the "Contact Us" page. The By-Laws were passed by a vote of the membership in attendance at the annual meeting on February 17, 2008. The Rules and Regulations were passed by a vote of the Board of Directors in attendance on the same date.

Report From Jim Miller:
Just got back from a week of Junior Shooting competitions down in Bowling Green , Kentucky and wanted to bring everyone up to date about the matches . Owensville Gun Club was very well represented by members and shooters. On Saturday and Sunday the Washington BB Gun Team, led by O.G.C. members Dave and Debbi Roetheli and assisted by Ken Pinnel, Christine Manhart and myself, competed in the International BB Gun competition and the team placed #2 overall, out of the 33 teams attending.
Besides winning several awards for Top 3 individual position scores, the Team produced the Top 2 shooters in the Nation as our shooters took First, Second, Tenth, and Eleventh place Individual Total Aggregate scores out of the over 200 shooters in attendance. Our 2 Alternate Shooters also took First and Fourth place in their overall category.
Out of the 2,500 possible points the Team was only 11 points shy of First Place. A great effort by some great shooters!!!! Congratulations to:
Laura Riegel (First Place)
Blase Haberberger (Second Place)
Nick Manhart (10th Place )
Nick Aholt ( 11th Place )
Jake Terschulse
Blake Vanleer (First Place Alternate)
Ally Manhart (Fourth Place Alternate )
Following the BB Gun Match in Kentucky there were 2 days of Air Rifle competition and the O.G.C. was once again represented very well by Christine Manhart as she shot her high score to date and took Fifth Place overall and Third place in the Prone position.
Christine had just returned from Nebraska where she and fellow O.G.C. Silhouette shooter, Toni Johnson, helped lead the Missouri team to a Second Place (Smallbore Rifle) overall finish in 3 days of three assorted matches. Toni finished up with 2 Top 10 scores out the 3 portions. Christine was the top shooter in the Silhouette portion, second in Three Position and Third Place shooter overall for the three events. The Missouri Team shot the High team total in Silhouette and was 2nd high in Three Position.
