Beginning: Downers
Grove Sportsmen's Club was chartered in 1950. Its original
location was in Downers Grove Township on approximately 60 acres.
There were two skeet and three trap fields. The need for
expansion resulted in our relocation to our present facility.
Now: Downers Grove Sportsmen's Club resides in Morris on approximately 485 acres. DGSC has 8 Fields: Five combination (Trap & Skeet) and 3 Trap only. There is a 5 Stand Field, and
a 14 Station Sporting Clay Course.

DGSC does have fields with
lights, and is open for evening shooting during the spring/summer on Friday nights.
The
location has a club house with a kitchen which a catering service opens to sell breakfast and lunch during
normal business hours.
Throughout the year DGSC has many registered
ATA shoots, ATA Targets Only, and a wide variety of Club Shoots and leagues.
