Our History:

Bay County Conservation and Gun Club was started in 1938 on the
land that is currently Bay Valley Hotel and Resort on Old Bridge
Road in Bay County. The club house, along with skeet and trap
fields were built in the early 1940’s.

In 1973, the old Hayward farm of 400 acres on Rogers Road was
purchased for the site of a new club.In 1974, a new club with skeet and trap fields were built.

In September of 1993 a 34′ by 60′ addition was added to the original
club house. In July of 1997, the original part of the club house was
completely remodeled into a modern kitchen. Prior to this
remodeling, the small garage that sat 50 feet to the south of the club
house served as a part time kitchen, housing the grill, deep fryer
and refrigerator. We lost the garage along with the entire contents
of tools, machinery and kitchen to an arson fire in late fall of 1999.
From membership dues and select cut timber monies, a new 40′ by
80′ storage building was built to the north of the #1 original skeet
field. This field is a regulation skeet field.

In winter of 2002/2003 a 5 Stand set up was complete with 8 different
presentations of targets, this adding a dual purpose of this field.

The fall of 2003, saw the expansion of our 50 bird clays course into
a circular course with a wider variety of target presentation now able
to be thrown.

For the future? There are numerous improvements on the drawing
board for expansions to Trap, Sporting Clays, 5 Stand and our Rifle
Range.
