Panola County Gun Club is a tax-exempt 501(c)(7) recreational, members-only entity. Ben Sepaugh and Wilburn Spiller originated the Club in 1987 as a highpower rifle competition range. Since 2019 it has been owned and managed by its members (membership info here). The Club exists to promote the safe handling and proper care of firearms and to improve marksmanship. The Club has been the home range of the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA) Service Rifle Team as well as members of the U.S. National Rifle Team. Panola County Gun Club is also proudly affiliated with the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), and the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA).

PCGC’s affiliation with these organizations gives its members access to additional programs and discounts as well as supports the efforts they do on our behalf to preserve our Constitutional rights and recreational and competitive shooting interests. For more info see links here
