Excellent shooting range!!! Let me start off by saying , First of all this range is very nice and contains 3 different ranges to choose from. 1.Pistol range with 25 to 35 yards range. 2. A rifle range with 100 yards worth of range. 3. And finally a Shotgun Range with 25 yards as well. The range is very clean with portable bathrooms that are cleaned often. Full roofs over top of the pistol and rifle ranges with built in tables for your guns and Ammunition & gun mats to go on. With extra long benches behind the shooting line for guest and other shooters to sit and spectate and wait for their turn. Now for the rules: as always use safety guidelines when shooting any gun and a full list of the rules are posted at all range line entry points. Now for the cost: This outdoor range is open to the public , Free of charge , there are no costs of entry to participate at this gun range. This is a unmanned Gun range(meaning there is no staff present at the range) Before entering the range , be sure to goto the main building and sign in on the docket sheet. Only one person per party should sign the docket sheet providing Date/Name/County&state you reside in/How many guests in your party will be present and shooting/spectating. That’s about it , make sure you clean up your shells and brass cartridges after you are done Shooting using the broom and dustpan that is provided on site. Targets: you have to provide your own paper or cardboard targets to shoot at. There is not a pin board to hang your targets on , you can dig your target cardboard with your target taped on it into the bullet backstop dirt hill or you can bring your own target mounting stand to hold your own targets. You do not need any license or hunting/fishing permit to use this facility. Just your own Guns and Ammunition/Targets/ Hearing / and eye protection. Safety protection is mandatory. I hope my review helped someone out , if it did I would appreciate a thumbs up. As always stay safe and shoot on!!!

Really like this range. Was a little nervous first time there because it is self policing, but everyone there was flexible and readily participated in range safety. I go to this range at least once a week now and enjoy it a lot. They do do spot checks and my only complaint is that some folks do not police their brass. Consequently you do it for them to keep from stepping on it. I can think of a dozen improvements that can be done, but in the meantime I’ll enjoy and use it as is.

Very nice outdoor range, has both a pistol bay and 100y rifle range. The shooting line is under cover and there's nice benches at the rifle line. Brink your own targets! Only bad thing I can say is they're bad for unlocking the easy to access front gate that's accessible from Hwy 119, you need to find the back entrance but depending on the weather requires a truck to access. I've never seen it crowded there.

This range is exactly what my son and I have been looking for. Quiet, uncrowded, unsupervised. Also clean and well maintained. We arrived around noon on a Saturday, only three other people there. We stayed for over two hours and only one more person showed up. We will visit again.
