The Sir Walter Gun Club has been established in the Raleigh area for over 50 years and, at it's present location north of Creedmoor, N.C., has facilities for almost all types of shooting activities.

Until the end of 1988, the Club's primary range facilities were located near Knightdale, just east of Raleigh. However, due to the development in the area and a desire by club members to expand the facilities, the Club relocated to it's present location approximately 24 miles north of the Crabtree Valley Shopping Center. The club owns 143 acres on which basic pistol, rifle and shotgun ranges have been constructed. Future construction projects include a 300 yard high power rifle range currently under development, separate trap ranges, a bullseye pistol range, an archery field as well as a clubhouse, camping areas and hiking trails. The goal of the Club is to develop one of the best private shooting sports facilities in the State and possible anywhere in the eastern United States.

The club currently supports a variety of shooting activities including IPSC Practical Pistol, Cowboy Action Matches, Skeet, High Power Rifle, Smallbore Rifle, Sporting Rifle and Bullseye Pistol. Special events sponsored or hosted by the club include the State Games of North Carolina, the Police Olympics and Scouting merit badge programs. Every December the IPSC shooting program sponsors a "Toys for Tots" match to support the Marine Corps Reserve.
