C4 Shooting & Training Center

Permanently closed. Sold at auction

They seem to be permanently closed. Showed up on a Saturday looking to shoot but no one was there. Grounds overgrown and building locked up.

I was so excited to try the sporting clays and drove an hour to see it for myself. I arrived and was highly disappointed. The grounds were completely unkept with junk laying around everywhere in tall weeds. However, I told myself “if the targets are good, who cares how it looks”. I talked to a guy in the clubhouse who was helpful and explained how to set the delay on the stations and also told me station one was empty but would be filled soon. However, after getting out on the course, I found that every single station had at least one empty machine other than one. After getting to station six to find yet another empty machine, I gave up, paid for what targets I shot (even the ones on the card that never actually threw a target) and left. I can get past unkept grounds and hull barrels spilling over that clearly haven’t been emptied in weeks, but I at least expect to be able to shoot one complete station in five. It’s a shame because someone clearly put lots of effort into building a potentially top notch facility, but what I observed today is far from that.

Best place ever

Great first time here. Will be back tomorrow!

I travel to C4 / Madison 3-4 weekends a year to train at C4. Their facility is beautiful and a really important resource for law enforcement as well as citizens who want to be more accountable and proficient with their firearms. I drive several hours to get to C4 because of the quality of the facility and the amazing instructors / groups they host throughout the year. The best part is I can book my hotels down the road, pick up food from a local restaurant and turn my weekends at C4 into mini vacations. Madison is very lucky to have a facility like C4.
