The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association 2007 US Invitational the end of September and what a great event it was. This was a 4 day event with over 90 dogs participating. The National Invitational group says that they will return.

We hosted 5 sporting clay tournaments to raise money for various groups. Due to the amazing growth of the Children's Miracle Newwork Sporting Clays Tournament we began in 1995, we gave up trying to host it here in 2007. But in the previous 12 years we grew it from around 3750 targets thrown to over 15000 targets, while raising over $100,000.00 for the Hospital. We had the U.S. Spinone Dog test in the past and had some discussion with them about hosting another one. We will be hosting the Midway Hunting Retriever Club Test this fall. Their webpage is www.midwayhrc.org


If there is anything we can do for your business, group, family, or just yourself, please contact us and we will do our best to provide you with what you need and check back often for updates.
Note: According to my suppliers we will expect an increase in prices for next hunting season. We held the price of our basic hunt packages since the fall of 2005 in the face of their continued increase in prices. But we will continue to try and give you the best birds and best cover that we possibly can.

Business Profile
Twin Lakes Sporting Club was established in 1991. It is located on a 1400-acre family grain-crop farm about 30 Miles Northeast of Columbia, MO. or 120 miles west of St. Louis along I-70. Our 1280-acre hunting preserve provides all the needs for a successful hunt without the hassles associated with locating a place to hunt, poor cover, local limits and few birds.

Twin Lakes offers released:
Pheasants
Chukars &
Quail Hunts

We have worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation since 1986, planting over 10,000 trees as well as planting food plots and managing for native grasses.
We believe that this natural cover along with our hard flying, full-feathered birds offers the type of hunting the discriminating hunter is looking for. Hunting at a well, managed, hunting preserve can be far sportier than so called open hunting on most farmlands. This is because the cover and wildlife habitat are so much better developed. It's a sorry fact that there is now more wildlife habitat on a good hunting preserve than there is on most farms.

Twin Lakes also offers native:
Dove   Turkey  Deer   Duck & Geese   Fishing  and Quail Hunting

Memberships are available. Write or call for brochure and price list.
Groups, organizations or businesses are welcome to use our facilities for fundraisers, family reunions, business retreats or outings. FFA, DU, QU, Knights of Columbus and many others, have held events in the past. We do have a wonderful place to host an outdoor, company picnic. For more information gives us a call. 573-581-1877
