PENSACOLA RIFLE AND PISTOL CLUB INC
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA

Pensacola Rifle and Pistol Club Inc., founded in the 1920s, is a distinguished shooting sports organization with a history that can be traced back to various ranges around Pensacola through the mid-20th century. It was officially chartered by the National Rifle Association (NRA) in 1944. The club is known for its significant expansion over the decades. Initially establishing itself near Osceola and later near Pensacola Airport, it moved in 1955 to Cantonment on land donated by St. Regis Paper Company. In pursuit of a more permanent foundation and further growth, the Club acquired adjacent parcels north of Cantonment during the late 1970s. What began as 40 acres evolved first to 80 and then expanded to 150 acres in 2015. Located 4.3 miles north of Cantonment, FL., this club maintains its status as an active Florida corporation since April 1, 1960. With a mailing address at Mathison Road, Molino, FL, the club provides several contact lines for inquiries and membership information. Under the leadership of officers such as Ricky O. Weeks (President & Director), W.C. Webster (Secretary), and Frederick W. Rankin (Treasurer & Director), the Pensacola Rifle and Pistol Club remains a prominent entity in advancing gun sports within the region. The club's comprehensive history, inclusive of its contributions to the local community and the sport, is further enriched by its official online presence at pensacolarifleandpistolclub.com, where enthusiasts can explore opportunities for engagement with shooting activities and events.
