Rifle/Pistol Ranges
Modern Rifle and Pistol Ranges
We have two ranges which offer a safe place to enjoy shooting your firearms and hone your marksmanship skills.
Both our seated Rifle range and standing Pistol range are staffed by trained Range Safety Officers to ensure your safety.
When you sign in you will be asked to choose which range you wish to shoot on.
There is a 2 hour firing limit on the Pistol range, and a 2.5 hour firing limit on the Rifle range. Time limits are strictly enforced during busy periods.
If you wish to shoot on both ranges, and we do not have a Wait List for lanes, you may move after confirming with the cashier and paying a $5 fee for lane changes.
