Welcome to the Issaquah Sportsmen's club.

The club is proud to be a member of the Issaquah community, serving sportsmen from this location since 1920. Our facilities are utilized by many local and state organizations. Some of these organizations include: Scouts, 4H Shooting Sports, Hunter Education, Bowhunter Education, and many others. If you're organization is interested in utilizing our facility give us a shout we'll do what we can to help you out. From the beginning, our firing range has provided a safe place for both the public and members to shoot. Our range is a place where sports enthusiasts can hone in on their skills while observing safe firearms handling and shooting. We now have an archery range available for members only and their guests. We hope you'll enjoy the facilities and camaraderie, come out and enjoy.
