Awesome place for sighting my bow in. The ranges are far enough to have different yardage.

Good setup, and priced to fit any budget. (Free, but clean up your firing lane, we're not your maid/mother)😅😂

This is an unsupervised rural shooting range. I've never had any unsafe encounters here but do try to take extra care. It's open to the public and half of folks are more stupid than the average already. Mostly everyone is very well behaved and considers those around them and uses the lanes safely. Do take care before going up your lane if a parallel one is firing. Exercise basic range and firearms safety and common sense and youll have a lovely time. It's also nice it's out of town if you're out there on a quiet day ( it has a very comforting feel of quiet compared to Billings, well, in between gunshots. I like the place. Getting to the lanes occasionally has muddy or dried mud that can be tricky for cats that are low to the ground.

Free place to shoot, could use some better defined areas to shoot for safety reasons as sometimes you don't know if guys are shooting towards you!

Free and public, the longest lanes are about 110-150 yards. Please clean up your trash when you leave.
