About Lakes Area Shooting Sports

Lakes Area Shooting Sports, formerly known as the Lakeshore Conservation Club, has been a part of the Brainerd Lakes community since the early 1950s. As a nonprofit organization, we’re dedicated to promoting the safe, knowledgeable, and responsible use of firearms and natural resources.

Our member-supported facility offers rifle and pistol ranges, along with trap, skeet, and 5-stand — all maintained for year-round use by shooters of all experience levels. From recreational shooting and league nights to educational clinics and family-friendly events, we provide opportunities for everyone to get involved.

We’re also proud to support the next generation of shooters by partnering with the Brainerd, Pillager, and Central Lakes College trap teams. These partnerships allow youth athletes to train and compete in a safe, structured environment — continuing our mission of education, safety, and community involvement.
