A steel range also draws mentions. One reviewer describes a 300 yard range where they shot steel silhouettes of coyotes, hogs and gophers at ranges from 125 yards to 280 yards, with mats for prone shooting, vices and sleds, and picnic tables. Another reviewer mentions both the steel target range and the pistol side.
The range operates with range safety officers.

Doug was real nice on Saturday at the steel target range and the pistol side. Came back the following Tuesday and the RSO then was nice as well. The guys had great communication and followed protocol. Had 8 shooters on site and everything was smooth.
It was a pleasant experience although it is cash only so I had to run back out and get some cash office is run by fish and wildlife and it looks like the range safety officers are volunteers possibly very nice and very clear on instruction They will not let you shoot any ar pistols unless you have them federally registered as SBR and have the paperwork otherwise any rifles or are must be no shorter than 16"
The new 300 yard range opened up here today and it was a joy to shoot on. Will and Chad the RSOs were kind enough to let us know it had opened and we shot steel silhouettes of coyotes, hogs, and gophers at ranges from 125 yards to 280 yards. The picnic tabes are new and comfortable, they also have mats for prone shooting and vices and sleds. Go check it out if you like shooting steel instead of paper.
Just got back from being there the first time. Staff and RSO were very friendly and courteous, property is clean, and well maintained. Definitely a good place to go shoot
4 of us decided to go shooting on Saturday got there at 10 the guy at front desk is a stiff told me.my fx9 is illegal I don't think he is skilled enough to be behind the dest so I'll give the front desk a 2 star but to the fellas in the beack shooting rang 4 stars all the way.the kids had a great time and so did I. Good place to shoot but they do have rule. Keep up the good work guys. Will be back soon
I went here this last weekend and it was great it was just me and 2 others which was nice. The weather was crap probably why nobody else decided to go. I needed to sight in some rifles and did some ladder tests for some hand loads I developed. I see people saying the RSOs are rude and the guy at the front is rude. I didnt experience that at all. It seems like these people probably broke the basic rules of gun safety and frankly if your going to shoot at a public range with people next to you those rules should never be broken and if you do I want them to be nasty to you because it doesn't go in one ear and out the other. Its not a casual thing to be unsafe with a firearm. It would seem that when they are mean to you you remember it at least long enough to Write your crybaby review. You can't take bullets back there is no reset button. If you come here slow down be safe and intentional with your actions and you will have a great time. I did thanks all.
Clean, safe, I enjoyed it and it got the job done. Rifles are ready.
The person working weekends has anger issues, during the week the workers are great, especially the guy from strait creek
My brother and I sited in our muzzleloaders and rifles on October 8, 2024. From checking in at the front office to our interactions with the range instructors, everyone was professional and courteous. We had a great experience. 👍 Update: Yesterday, 10-14-2025, we were sighting in our muzzleloaders/rifles at 50/100 yards. From the initial check-in, field instructors, to other shooters, we had a great experience once again. The operation at the range is orderly and stresses safety. 👍👍
Fine range... very affordable and a good facility. As others have mentioned, the gentleman I met at the front was quite rude and irritable. RSO was a volunteer and good! Wish that this range made you feel excited to come back. Just be respectful and intentional and you'll have a fine time.
