About Us
WELCOME TO THE PRICKLY PEAR SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION WEBSITE! Our objective is to conserve and perpetuate fishing, hunting and other sports as high quality recreational activities in the State of Montana. The Association promotes high standards of sportmanship, marksmanship, and safe firearm education.
The Association maintains a top-notch shooting range nestled in the pine forest on McDonald Pass, creating a beautiful setting where members can enjoy the 100 yd, 200 yd, 300 yd, 400 yd, and 500 yd rifle ranges as well as a pistol range with retractable targets. For our younger shooters, we have a .22 reactive target area.
