Shooting Ranges – Open Year Round to
Members Only
Our rifle and pistol ranges are open year round to members only.
Rang hours are from 9:00am – 7:00pm. We have covered firing
lines at both ranges - our rifle range is 100+ yards and the pistol
range is 50 yards. We provide target frames, trash and empty
shell containers. Please utilize these containers and keep our
ranges clean and neat. Please remember to place your target so
that bullets strike the backstop and do not ricochet off the
ground or pass over the backstop. Please utilize the pistol range
for shooting short distances. Our target frames are designed so
bullets passing through the target area will strike the backstops
properly. We have also added a new berm to the left of the rifle
range to reduce sound travel from the range toward our
neighbors. Thank you to all of the members for keeping the range safe and clean.
