For me, Marion Springs Conservation Club. Small community, rarely other shooters when I'm there to shoot. Descent Rifle range. The pistol range is being rejuvenated but the rifle range serves.

I used to think that I'd like to shoot in my back yard. Then I realized that I'd be broke…out of bullets/ammo/reloading materials, in about a week. Now, I have to drive 8 miles. That keeps me from reading about a technique or load and going out to see what I could do with it…
Lol
No seriously though, it would be very nice to be able to just open the door and be shooting in minutes. I'd have a nice "field" of steel targets, too.

I've been a member @ Oakland Co. Sportsman's club for well over 30 yrs., Moved back to Mi. from So.Calif. in '86 - 87? shot @ a public range 1 X.. then joined OCSC... Biggest attraction for me is their indoor pistol range is now open 24 hrs., access with a key card. As a retired PM & MN shift employee. I'm used to being up late. I head to the range about 11pm (or later). very little -no traffic, usually have the range to myself, & no traffic on the roads for my drive home.

Alpena Sportsmen Club was my first in Michigan but, that was in the 80s. The next was Ionia not far from the prison. I helped construct a new addition in the 90, 2000. Almost joined Hastings club in 2009. See how long it's been since I pulled the trigger? Most favorite is the Ionia club. Could leave word and go shoot except in winter. Steve

Thinking I've shot skeet there a Wayne, if there is a small body of water for the spent shot falls into, I am sure of it. Perfect about your personal range. Steve
WWCC is located on Napier Rd. south of 5 Mile Rd. (between 5 Mile Rd & North Territorial Rd.) in Plymouth Twp., if that helps jog your memory any.
Thank you for the compliment on my home range. I live about 8 miles due west of WWCC in Northfield Twp. (Washtenaw Co.). Dirt roads, corn and bean fields, woods. I am fortunate to live where I do.
I can shoot from inside my barn during inclement weather. If it's cold I just fire up the wood burner to stay warm.

Used to belong to the Iosco Sportsmen's Club - one range just east of East Tawas on US23, and another north of the Wurtsmith airport. The Tawas range has 25 and 100 yard covered lines; used to have trap but had to close it down when the adjacent beach club complained. The Wurtsmith range has 25, 50, 100, 200 and 600 yard ranges plus trap, sporting clays and skeet. Active club with great people.
The above was accurate about 5 years ago; I've since moved to Brighton and haven't had the opportunity to explore the options here. Part time snowbird also, so that limits my time here. I saw the above message about Howell, and I'm aware of Peacemaker's and Island Lake, and I think there's a Brighton Gun Club nearby somewhere.
