Birchwood Recreation & Shooting Park

Birchwood Recreation & Shooting Park is a members-only gun club and shooting range in Chugiak, Alaska, with sporting clays, trap, skeet, pistol and rifle ranges. Reviewers agree on how it works: this is a membership club, and one reviewer notes that members-only access makes it easier to keep safe practices in force.

On the shotgun side, the park offers sporting clays, trap, skeet and five stand, with enough stations and variety that one visitor who came for a corporate event came away impressed. One reviewer says they have shot the Alaska State Sporting Clays Championship here for the last three years and calls the targets excellent and always challenging.

Beyond the shotgun fields, one reviewer loves the 300 yard range, and another mentions covered benches. One reviewer reports no caliber or rate-of-fire restrictions, with each range going hot and cold by user coordination and range officers making sure cold means cold. Another describes a range master who helped dial in a scope and get zeroed at 100M.

Reviewers describe a busy event calendar: one mentions a pistol league along with two-gun and three-gun events, and another says there are "more events than days in a year." One reviewer describes a roomy clubhouse, and several reviewers call the facilities well maintained, with staff described as friendly, professional and helpful.
