This is the place you go where you don't want any frills or fancies. You put two bucks in a slot but there's no management there. It's a beautiful place except for bullet shells all over the grounds. Bring your own targets and bring plenty …

If you drive a vehicle with very low clearance, be warned: you do have to drive across a dry-ish creek bed and it is not exactly smooth. My wife and I went on a Saturday between 1:30-3:00. When we arrived all 3 lanes were occupied. The …

Since everyone couldn’t be grown ups, the place was trashed and now is closed. If you are wanting to go to a public range, the closest one is in Carter County at Pond Mountain, near the lake. According to the Forestry website, it should be back open sometime in late 2020.

When we got there I think it was on a Wednesday and no one was there someone would just leaving and when we got ready to leave someone just showing up I think you'll be okay on Monday because it's winter it's colder you may have one or two shooters at the most. Bring your own stuff bring your own targets t bring some tape because there's nothing there but just some wire to hang targets on. It's pretty basic but it's nice.

What is the longest shot?

Jannette Johnson | Oct 10, 2021

I'm guessing about 40 ft.

Are the shooters friendly and respectful?

As with everything in life, the people there when you are could be different than the people that are there when I am. I experienced great people ony last visit. I have seen reviews of others reporting not so friendly or downright dangerous. Be smart.

Where does the data come from showing range usage times?

Is the range open during the govt shutdown?

Yellow Metal | Jan 9, 2019
Patrick Brown | Jan 10, 2019

According to this article (https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2018/12/21/secretary-agriculture-perdue-details-usda-functions-event-lapse-federal-funding-government-shutdown/2393193002/) USDA Forest Service recreational facilities will shut down, so my guess is no range until they get it sorted in Washington. Might want to check with the Forest Service directly though.

It's a government park so I doubt it. Then again, it doesn't really require staff...
