Used to drive an hour to shoot at this range because it was free, and because there were no range staff present to baby sit me. They have since added range personnel and now it’s just lame. Only one shot allowed every 3 seconds (never seen this at any other OUTDOOR range) and had ammo restrictions for an OUTDOOR range in the middle of nowhere. No other ranges on the opposite side of the berm. Looks like they made up a bunch of rules not approved by the range owners as well. Needless to say I will not be returning.

I was worried about coming back since the shut down a bit ago as friends had said the rules were strict. I think the range officers truly care for your safety and they seem to enjoy the job. Mike assisted me with sighting in my scope which was very kind. I think the strict part just comes from the regular safety regulations which realistically are reasonable requirements and common gun safety that you would practice at any other range. I’m looking forward to going back again.

This gun range is extremely clean and wellmaintained, and safety is clearly a top priority. The range officers are kind, professional, and very knowledgeable, which makes the experience comfortable and enjoyable. With the new rules and updated setup, everything runs smoothly and efficiently. They also provide target stands, so all you need to bring is your paper target. I would highly recommend this rifle range to anyone looking for a safe and well-run place to shoot.

READ BEFORE YOU GO Went out for range day to train pistol basics. The RSO gave us a brief before we were allowed to go near the bays. RSO was incredibly rude and confrontational without even being questioned about the rules. Ultimately decided to not even unload the truck and just go home. Main rules that turned us away Only one shot per 3 seconds or we would be kicked out. No use of holsters for firearms on range property. We would have been fine with the rules since we drove so far but Once again I cannot overstate how rude the RSO was.

This place is never open. Don’t even bother wasting your time even if it says it’s open and you call the number to see if it’s open. It’s not open.
