Welcome to the South St. Paul Rod & Gun Club . . .

Trap Field 2. . . the only gun club in the heart of the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are nestled in the backwaters of the Mississippi River, within a 10-minute drive of downtown St. Paul.

Come try your hand at the shotgun sports of trap, skeet, sporting clays, 5-Stand sporting clays.

We also have a rifle range with 8 lanes, including 2 lanes up to 200 yards, as well as a pistol range, with 6 lanes up to 25 yards. Both are outdoor ranges, although we shoot from a building for the rifle range.

Our facility is available for practice, leagues, special member shoots, and tournaments. We also offer corporate and group outings, a unique venue for group fun.

Other amenities include our pro shop, restaurant, banquet room, pavilion, and full bar.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or accomplished shooter, or a bird hunter ready to tune up your shooting eye for the upcoming season, come enjoy our friendly, safe, casual family atmosphere and experience the fun we never outgrow: the fun of shooting at, and hitting, a moving (or stationary) target!
