The Hartford Gun Club
Established in 1884 — the oldest gun club in America
The Hartford Gun Club is situated on more than one hundred thirty acres of land in East Granby & Windsor, Connecticut. We enjoy a reputation as New England's premier shooting sports organization. The club is the home of the Hartford Rifle Club (founded in 1864) and is the descendant of Samuel Colt's Hammerless Pistol Club.
What began as a simple, single-venue club has evolved into a well-established leader in the world of Trap, Skeet, Five-Stand, FITASC, pistol and rifle sports.
