I took my two sons to this range and absolutely loved it!! My oldest son (24 years old) has a lot of experience with guns, I'm mid-level, and this was my youngest's first time (18 years old). My youngest son has autism and was beyond excited to have a chance to safely learn to use a gun. The staff there were beyond phenomenal and it was, as my son said, "the best day of his life." He even managed to hit the 250ish yard gong on the hill!! Sincerely, thank you so much for your kindness, patience and encouragement. We will definitely be back!

I've been a Range Safety Officer at RMSF for a few years now. The range offers well maintained public shooting ranges for bench shooting out to 100 yards (as well as several steel targets from 200yds - 450yds), and plinking ranges for rimfire (.22) and pistol cartridges where you can shoot fixed steel targets. Great for new shooters, hunters who need to sight in their rifles before deer season, and really anyone in general. The day use fee for non-members is $10. Hearing and eye protection are required for anyone near the firing line, but loaner ear/eye protection is available. The all-volunteer staff are there to help you have a safe and fun experience. Make sure to pay attention to any directions given by range staff, for your safety and the safety of those around you. Overall, it's a family friendly place, an interesting date idea (maybe 🤔), and just a good way to relieve some stress. You won't find a better public shooting range in the Tri-Cities or surrounding area.

I shoot a yearly high power rifle match at this facility. It is one of the better ones in the state. Down below there are a variety of shooting Bays. Up above you can reach out to a thousand yards. Strongly suggest that people look into the Cold Bore Challenge competition every February. Great time with great people.

Well kept range, friendly and competent RSOs, and a wide range of shooting ranges are available to members, including a 1,000 yard range. The max distance you can shoot at the public Rose Iris Range is 445 yards, though it can be a bit more depending on which place on the firing line you choose. Also has a very nice trap and skeet range, as well as a .22 rimfire interactive plinking range that is child friendly, but also a ton of fun even if you just like plinking with a Ruger 10/22. Just be sure to check the Tri Cities Shooting Association (TCSA) website for more details before going. I highly advise you bring checks or cash, as they don't accept plastic.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Do RSMSF also run the trap and skeet range. Would like more info on that please. Thank you

Both are run through the Tri Cities Shooting Association. I recommend becoming a member, as it's just $50/year ($75 for spousal membership). You will need cash for skeet in denominations of $5 or $10 bills, even if you're a member. $5 for a round of 25 clay pigeons. Also keep in mind they don't accept plastic for transactions. Stationary targets are $0.25 each, even with membership. You can find out much more on the TCSA website. Oh, and bring your own ammo, as they do not sell ammo. Also double check the list of banned ammo types. I accidentally bought a box of M855 green tips for my AR-15, and found out those are banned from the range. You may also fire your shotgun - slugs only - at the Rose Iris Range. If you can volunteer 3 days of the year, I recommend becoming a Range Safety Officer (RSO). RSO training is pretty easy and free, and in exchange for 3 mandatory volunteer duty days, you get 24/7/365 access to the RSMSF, including ranges not open to the public.

We are not a members, do we need to make an appt to use your facility?

No. Non-members can shoot with a $10 daily use fee during normal hours.

What type of black powder cartridge rifle shooting is available? When are shoots if available?

Check out tcsa.info for info on scheduled matches at the Primitive Range (where black powder stuff is usually done)

Does it cost to use this range?

$10 per person per day without membership (you also get one free paper target). I think the shotgun range is $5 for non-members. Youth under 18 shoot for free, but must be accompanied by an adult. Active military and police shoot for free if they provide the accepted forms of ID. Same with veterans who present the accepted form of ID. Accepted forms of ID are displayed at the range. The website may also display it, too. Membership is $50/year, $75 for spousal membership. Members shoot for "free" so long as they present their current membership card. If you fail to present a current card, you must pay the normal fees, so don't forget your card! Targets are NOT free. Paper targets are $0.25 each, and clays at the shotgun range are $5 per token, and each token will get you 25 clays. Be sure to bring small denomination bills for tokens ($5 or $10). RSOs on duty don't have a lot of cash on hand, so please try to bring exact change, or write a check. Plastic is not yet accepted.

Is there long range shooting available here

Alvin Bailey | Aug 22, 2019

Absolutely. Check the website for scheduled events, as the 1,000 yard (1KYD) range is not open to the public outside of events. If you decide to become an RSO (highly recommend if you can volunteer 3 days of the year), you can get additional certification to operate the 1KYD range, and 24/7/365 access to shoot whenever you want - so long as you follow rules and lockup after. The main Rose-Iris range has 18" steel out to about 450 yards, including 8" precision steel plates near them. Steel plates are at 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, and 450 yard berms. 100 yard and closer is paper. The "Pistol Bays" (RSOs only) also support long range shooting (don't let the name fool you). Again, I recommend becoming an RSO to truly enjoy the scope of the RSMSF and TCSA!

Do they allow steel case ammo?

Yes they do, but no steel core or armor piercing
