Five-StandBill Berghuis

Southern Michigan Gun Club has one of the finest five-stand facilities in Michigan. Five-stand is a modified form of sporting clays. As in trap, shooters shoot five shots at each of five stations, for a total of 25 targets. The similarity ends there! Instead of one trap in front of the shooter, there are from six to eight throwers located around the field throwing different sized targets (standard [108mm], midi [90mm] or mini [60mm]) in various heights and directions.

Fees per round: $4.00 Members; $5.00 Non-Members (subject to change)
