WELCOME TO
Four Corners Rod and Gun Club
Salem's Premier Shooting Club
Open shooting, low key events weekly, and fun for everyone
Four Corners Rod & Gun Club is a membership based range. Many of our events are open to the public for a small fee. Click on the membership tab or button above for more information. We are still accepting new members.
A Place to Shoot
Have access to a private range nearly every day of the year. Numerous events are open to public each month. Check out the CALENDAR page for upcoming shoots.
Something for Everyone
From an indoor 50 foot range for rimfire .22 out to 200 yards for your rifles, Four Corners has something for everyone. Fun shoots each week are a great place to practice and meet other shooters. We have an active youth program and special events for women as well. The facility has three ranges for firearms, a known distance archery range and a season 3D archery field.
Safety First
With rules that emphasize safety, we want everyone to have a fun and safe experience at the club. New member's orientation helps shooters start off right.

Thanks to all who helped at the work party!
We had 27 members help out at the work party on Sunday, April 25th, the best turn out ever! This means 27 names were also entered in the once-a-year drawing for the shotgun. Check the calendar for future work party dates. Remember, the club is opening after the work parties so you can come help and then stay to shoot after 3pm (or when the work is done).
