About Ortonville Shooting Range

Ortonville Shooting Range is an outdoor shooting range in Ortonville, MI, run as a DNR facility and open to the public. Reviewers describe rifle and handgun lanes at 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards, and one reviewer says there are six bays at each distance. Shooters work from concrete benches, with spotting scopes, sandbags and chairs available according to reviewers, and two note that prone shooting is not an option.

The range covers more than rifle and handgun practice. One reviewer mentions a trap range, while others mention a skeet range with a clay thrower and 3D archery, and one says a turkey shotgun can be patterned there. One visitor describes the setting as "a relaxed environment." Reviewers also describe strict rules: no rapid fire, a six-round limit in the firearm and about three seconds between shots, with a cease fire roughly every 20 minutes to change targets. Shooters bring their own targets.

Reviews of the DNR staff are mostly positive, with many reviewers saying staff helped them sight in or zero rifles and optics, while a few describe some range officers as rude, condescending or aggressive.

Several reviewers call the facility clean and well maintained, and reviewers mention clean on-site bathrooms. One reviewer warns of almost no shade at the benches, and another says the surrounding trees help cut down the wind. For rifle and handgun practice out to 200 yards, trap and skeet, or 3D archery, this outdoor range in Ortonville, Michigan, is a DNR facility with a clay thrower on site.

2 stars cause they have a clay thrower, if you're here to do anything other than clays or 0 an optic you're wasting your time

Being a novice shooting I was apprehensive shooting on a long range. Charlie the DNR guy on duty helped me with the details that helped me zero on my rifle. Great experience at the range!

This range would be my last pick for ranges. The DNR workers there are straight up rude. One of them was even touching up on my gun without my permission. I understand that it is important to follow rules but they could conduct themselves in a more respectful manor. They talk to you like your a child in a condescending tone. Over all a terrible experience, solely because the workers do not value you as a "customer" and act like your being in the way of them lazing around. This is most likely the last time I will go here unless no where else is open.

Man, what a cool place. Very well run, safety is first. DNR staff were great, very professional and willing to help with anything. Facilities are really nice, excellent ranges with clear surroundings. If you need to site in or just want to keep up on your skills, this is a great place. Archery range was a bit lackluster but it had what you needed to shoot a bow. $4! That's crazy low.
