Ark Valley Gun Club

Great course, wish some people understand that course close in the winter as clays get brittle, and it takes time to reopen and get machines going, we take a 4H team there once a year for state. Looking forward to going back.

From the moment we pulled into the facility, we were met with unwelcoming stares from a group of men who appeared to be employees. As I held the door open for one staff member, he walked past without making eye contact or offering a simple thank you. Inside, there was no signage indicating where to check in, pay, or sign waivers—nothing to guide first-time visitors. A group of members stood to the left, none of whom acknowledged us. To the right, a woman sat at a computer and completely ignored our presence. I stood less than three feet away from her for a solid two minutes without so much as a glance. When a member walked in, she immediately looked up, smiled, and helped him—then returned to her screen without acknowledging us at all. Shortly after, an older man came in, looked us up and down, and said, “Yeah?” with clear judgment in his tone. I explained that we were there to shoot and that it was our first visit. He vaguely looked around and said everything was full, adding that we could “hang around” in case something opened up. When I asked about the five open stations visible downrange, I was told they were closed for winter—despite it being 77 degrees that day. The entire experience felt dismissive, unwelcoming, and unnecessarily hostile toward newcomers. If you’re not already part of the inner circle, don’t expect to feel welcome. I would not recommend this range, especially to families or first-time visitors. It is extremely “traditional,” if you know what I mean.

Really nice facility for both skeet and trap. We've been here twice with 4H and have enjoyed it both times.

Great place for trap and skeet shooting.

Nice layout. Comfortable atmosphere. Majority of members are very friendly. They have both skeet and trap stations. Great value for your money.

Great facility for 5 stand trap and skeet

My son and I (he's a Marine, I'm a veteran, and both of us have been around guns our whole lives, he's 21 and I'm 42) went to go shoot at this place on 12/28. To start, I've never shot clays in an organization or gun club, so i would say I know nothing of the lingo of the sport from that point. I'm used to having a group of guys go to a friend's pasture, and we spend the day shooting clay together. The old guy that was running the center has a bad attitude to anyone who is new to the whole "skeet" or "trap" and don't know exactly what to expect going to a place like this. Right out the gate, when we pulled up to the property and asked if they were open and expressed we'd like to shoot clay, he treated us like we were stupid (which to a degree we are to how things are done there). His attitude during the whole conversation of introduction to our "safety brief" was just horrible and told us that my son and I could not shoot at their facility with a single shotgun between the two of us. After learning this i chose that this gun club is not for us so we walked off and didn't shoot there. Was looking forward to a day of shooting but very disappointed in how this place treats new people of the sport.

Friendly and very helpful. I will definitely be going back and would recommend it.

Had a great time at the KS State trap shoot 2021. Looking forward to the trap and skeet shoot 2022.

Was planning on going out and shooting some targets there but when I called their phone line was dead. Once I got out there they told me they were closing and I couldn’t shoot. According to google they are open until 5pm I was there at 1:30.
