Be nice if they updated their own Google page to say they are closed for a week for renovating. I just spent an hour driving here only to find out they are closed?! Thanks for wasting my time and gas.

Are they open on labor day? And do they still have someone at the entrance booth to sell recreation passports? Do they actually fine you if you don't have a passport sticker?

Casey Gibbons | Sep 16, 2022
John Bachor | Sep 16, 2022

One of my friends received a ticket for not having a passport sticker on his vehicle. Buy the passport! From what he told me, you could buy the passport from one of the range officers.

If your range doesn't open until 10 am. Why am I hearing shooting at 7am? Its a Saturday. We have lived behind this range for about 20 years now and have NEVER heard it going on this early. 10am is perfectly acceptable. 7 am is NOT.

Robert Robar | Oct 16, 2020
Michael Lenardon | Oct 16, 2020

Have no idea why you are hearing shooting that early. There is no way you can get to the range without crashing thru a locked gate and a baracade fence gate. Something to remember is that it is hunting season. And you hunt on state land unless it is a restricted area.

Do they have a barrel length requirement for shotguns? Mine is 20" can I shoot here?

Bryan Corning | Oct 16, 2020
Michael Lenardon | Oct 16, 2020

Is rapid fire allowed?

ChefMDH | Oct 16, 2020
Ray Massenberg | Oct 16, 2020

A blanket permit has been issued, which allows more than one round to be loaded at a time on the rifle/pistol ranges. Up to six rounds may be loaded in the magazine and chamber combined, with a minimum of three seconds required between shots. Range officers may suspend this permission, based on their discretion, when conditions exist that may compromise the safety of the shooters and others.
