The Coshocton Gun Club strives to educate its' membership, as well as the general public, about gun safety, handling, and use.

The Club was originally organized in 1948 as the Coshocton Rifle and Pistol Club. In 1953, the Rifle and Pistol Club incorporated with the State of Ohio to become the Coshocton Rifle and Pistol Club, Inc. by C.E. Wagner, Paul Roberts, and Eugene Huff. In August of that same year, Simon and Irene Stewart sold a piece of property to the Coshocton Rifle and Pistol Club, Inc. for one dollar.

After being recognized by the National Rifle Association as an affiliated club in 1959, the Rifle and Pistol Club changed its name to the Coshocton Gun Club, Inc. under which it operates as a non-profit Ohio corporation today.

After acquiring the property, the Gun Club constructed a 200-yard Rifle Range, a 50-yard outdoor pistol range, two sixteen-station trap houses, a club house, and a 25-yard indoor pistol range, all of which have been updated and are still in use today.

Over the years the Coshocton Gun Club has been home to organized Trap Shooting, Silhouette Shooting, PPC shoots, and other events. At one time, the Ohio Army National Guard used the 200-yard rifle range for practice and qualification.

The club grounds cover approximately 80-acres which are heavily forested and home to a variety of wildlife. A number of members hunt deer and turkey in season on club property.

Today, the Coshocton Gun Club remains a private membership shooting club. We are an NRA Affiliated Club and a member of the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association. The club holds gun safety and training courses for the public conducted by NRA Certified Instructors.

The club is also home to the local 4H Shooting Sports for shotgun, rifle and muzzle loading training.

Club meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30 PM in the clubhouse.
