About this range Strong evidence

The Pneumatics Airgun Special Interest Group at Southern Michigan Gun Club operates one of Michigan's premier airgun venues, with a dedicated outdoor airgun range featuring approximately 20 field-condition lanes plus 10 wooded lanes, all under covered shooting positions with proper benches. The club hosts both Field Target and USARB Benchrest matches monthly. Located near Kalamazoo with both indoor (809 E Crosstown Pkwy, Kalamazoo) and outdoor (22471 38th Ave, Mattawan) facilities, the SIG welcomes beginner and novice airgun shooters with programs designed for all skill levels. Baker Airguns is a sponsor partner. CMP-affiliated parent club. One of the strongest airgun-active venues in the Midwest.

Michigan state policy · NOT specific to this range
Tier B

Moderate — some statutory restrictions

Airguns CLASSIFIED as firearms by MCL 8.3t — DNR rules apply identically

Evidence MCL 8.3t: "firearm... shall be construed to include any weapon from which a dangerous projectile may be propelled by... air as a means of propulsion, except any smooth bore rifle... designed and manufactured exclusively for propelling BBs not exceeding .177 calibre." 2018 MI hunting digest: "Pneumatic guns, air guns, are considered firearms for hunting purposes." MI DNR range rules apply to "firearms" — airguns included by statutory definition.

State-level restrictions Casing/transport requirements identical to firearms. Smoothbore .177 BB guns excluded from firearm definition (lower compliance burden).

This describes Michigan state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
