Pickle Butte Shooting Range

Pickle Butte Shooting Range is an outdoor public shooting range in Caldwell, ID, open to the public, and reviewers say what to bring. Several say to bring your own targets, and one adds stands. Another reviewer says the shooting tables that used to be there are now concrete blocks and suggests bringing a table and chair. Reviewers describe multiple lanes, and one notes dirt berms between them. Another says the range has been improved every few years and now has defined lanes that a group can use, including shorter pistol ranges.

Pistol and rifle shooters both turn up in the reviews. One reviewer says arriving early gets you the longer range, while another wishes there were longer ranges for sighting in larger rifles. Reviewers also describe families coming out to target shoot, and one notes thigh-high concrete barriers that were convenient for their kids. A restroom is on site, according to two reviewers. One visitor who struggled with a skeet thrower says a shooter from the next party over lent theirs and offered tips.

Several reviewers report that it can get busy, particularly at peak times, and that shooters sometimes share a lane. Reviewers are divided on safety and upkeep: several say there is no range safety officer on site and that not everyone follows the safety rules, and several report trash and broken glass left behind, while others find the range clean and well maintained.
