The Caribou Gun Club History
Only at the Caribou!
Founded in 1953, by Earl Voss, the Caribou Gun Club has been serving the sporting public with great passion and expertise for more than 60 years.
Earl started the Club with one Trap field next to his garage, expanded the facility in 1960 and progressed to hosting ATA registered shoots by 1972.
The Skeet Range was added in 1975 with the Rifle Range to follow in 1981. The Rifle Range received a major remodel and expansion in 2008. 25 to 500 Yard Range! A new paper and automated Pistol Range was constructed in 2019, with 32 lanes.
After breaking and still holding several ATA Trap Shooting records as a teenager, Randy Voss was recruited by the U. S. Marksmanship Unit out of high school. Randy became one of the top International Trap Shooters in the world, after his U. S. Army Trap Team took Gold in the 1978 World Championships, in Seoul, South Korea.
Randy and Earl expanded the Gun Club to include the Hunting Preserve in 1985, continually expanding the Preserve’s capabilities to its present configuration, of 28 hunting fields, covering over 750 acres.
The Club’s first Sporting Clays course was installed in 1987, with additional courses created from 1994 to 2015, to accommodate large sporting clays events.
Today the Caribou Gun Club Sporting Clays facility is considered one of the premiere shooting destinations in North America, having hosted the 2012 U.S. Open and 2015 World FITASC. The Caribou has property capabilities to set, up to 12 Sporting Clays courses for one event.
The Caribou Log Cabin, a hand honed log cabin, was built in 1996 and the Caribou Banquet Hall added in 2001 to facilitate the needs of the sporting public.
The Caribou is nestled in the Minnesota River Valley, just 50 miles southwest of the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN metropolitan area.
Easy to get to, but hard to leave! Come visit the Caribou soon.
