About Us:

The Canton McKinley Rifle and Pistol Club was formed in 1926, and has grown each year since. It is known as one of the best in the country. In 1998, the National Rifle Association named Canton McKinley the "Top Shooting Club in the U.S.A." We are members of the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association and the Stark County Federation of Conservation Clubs. Most Club members are also members of the National Rifle Association.

The object and purpose of this organization shall be the encouragement of rifle and pistol shooting with a view toward a better knowledge of the safe handling and the proper care of firearms, as well as improved marksmanship for our youth as well as our adult members. It shall be our further object and purpose to forward the development of those characteristics of honesty, good fellowship, self discipline, team play, and self reliance, which are essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of true patriotism.

A Board of Directors governs the operation of the organization. This Board is composed of fifteen (15) elected directors and three (3) officers who are not directors, plus three ex-officio directors from the various Club leagues.
