Otto Road Shooting Range

A bit rustic but it works

I have never used the range, but have been using them as my FFL for years now. I love them. Dee and Renee are always a pleasure to deal with.

We love going here to practice. Everyone respects the rules and is courteous.

Otto Range is the best private range I have been to. You have access to many bays to offer all types of training for all disciplines. $100 a year?! That is pennies compared to tons of ranges out there. I see some bad reviews unfortunately. Management constantly has to deal with members sneaking non-members in who have a blatant disregard for safety. So if someone asks to see your membership card, that is why. Don't be offended especially if you are new and not recognized. Be nice to Hank, Dee, and others that maintain the range. If you shoot targets down (at long range) fix them or let them know! Don't bring your trash to shoot at the berms and leave it. That is no cool which alot of guys do. Take care of the range so we can keep it around. Also, feel free to volunteer and help Hank. That is a lot of range to maintain to make sure you have paper targets, steel targets, benches, etc.

The range itself is great, I thoroughly enjoyed going here for the better part of two years and love the hands off approach but the management needs to handle things differently. Now the woman who runs the office is wonderful, I've got nothing bad to say about her but the old guy that patrols the range is a different story. The first time I spoke with the guy outside orientation we were picking up brass as we do because as I mentioned I've been coming here for almost 2 years, and I follow the rules. He drove onto the lane we were shooting in very aggressively, looking like he meant to run me down with his car and I almost ran out of the way for fear of being hit. Without explanation he yelled "WHERE'S YOUR CARD?!" to which I replied it was in my car and he told me to get it then drove at one of the people I was there with. I got the card and showed him so he without explanation took it only then stating it was past sunset. Now I couldn't see the sun behind the hill but there was absolutely still light in the sky and this was a massive overreaction. He also told us that he would open the gate but we had to leave. Now a reply to another review states that he was waiting for an apology? No. For one the guy was sitting at the front with his window rolled up glaring at us, it was not stated nor implied that he wanted to talk to us any further. He was very adamant, practically yelling at us to leave. And for two, this type of behavior does not deserve an apology. I was a loyal paying customer, did not break any rules in the last 2 years and at the first slight disagreement he took away my membership. I will not be coming back here. I will not be recommending this range to anyone.
