Great Southern Agency, LLC offers a specialized insurance program for trap, skeet, and sport clay shooting operations. Built for independent agents and brokers, the program is tailored to the operational realities of shooting ranges and preserves. Whether your client operates a tournament-ready club, a family-owned sporting clay course, or a commercial facility with food and beverage, an on-site pro shop selling firearms and ammunition, or hunting preserves, this program provides flexible coverage options to address complex exposures.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is a fit for a range of shooting-sports operations, including:
Shooting ranges offering trap, skeet, and sporting clay activities
Facilities that include hunting preserves or managed game bird operations
Operations with on-site pro shops that sell firearms and ammunition
Ranges that also provide food, beverage, team hospitality, or event services
You might have a client who runs a family-owned clay shooting range, hosts tournaments and lessons, and maintains a pro shop—this program is structured to accommodate those combined exposures.

Underwriting Notes
The program is written on a non-admitted basis, which provides underwriting flexibility and broader customization than many admitted markets. Great Southern Agency’s underwriters have deep experience in firearms- and shooting-sports-related risks and aim for practical, timely responses on submissions.
When submitting accounts, include full details of services offered, facility layout and maps (including shooting fields and spectator areas), safety and training procedures, loss-control measures, staff certifications, and a breakdown of revenue streams. These elements help speed placement and ensure accurate limits and endorsements.
