You should transport your firearms in your vehicle unloaded and in a case, with the ammunition separate from the gun.

All firearms which you wish to use at the rifle and/or pistol range must be brought to the range unloaded and cased. We do not allow drawing from a holster, so if you have a concealed pistol license and wish to use your concealed firearm, you must un-holster it at your vehicle, unload it, and put it in a case. You are more than welcome to carry your firearm concealed on the range if you have a CPL, however, you will not be able to shoot it at the range.

Shotguns for clay target shooting may be uncased at your vehicle and brought onto the course so long as it is unloaded and the action is open. You are also more than welcome to keep your unloaded gun in a gun slip or case while on the course.

We require all shooters and spectators to have both eye protection and ear protection. For eye protection, you may use safety glasses, sunglasses, or prescription glasses. Ear muffs or ear plugs both suffice for ear protection. If you do not have ear and eye protection, we sell them at the range for $5.00 plus tax and $0.75 plus tax, respectively.

If you wish to shoot on our outdoor rifle and/or pistol range, you will also need paper targets, ammunition, and a firearm. We do not have handgun or rifle rentals. We have a variety of paper and Shoot-n-C targets for sale in the pro shop starting at $2+ tax for 4 targets. Ammunition is available in the pro-shop also, we typically stock a wide variety of popular cartridges. We recommend you give us a call at 866-647-4668 to check on ammunition availability, as it does fluctuate depending on supply and demand.

If you wish to shoot clay targets, whether it be skeet, trap, sporting clays, or 5-stand, you will also need ammunition and a firearm. Ammunition is available in the pro-shop also, we typically stock a wide variety of popular cartridges. We recommend you give us a call at 866-647-4668 to check on ammunition availability, as it does fluctuate depending on supply and demand. Shotgun rentals are available starting at $25. You do not need to bring clay targets nor do we have a place for you to shoot your own clay targets. All of our clay target shooting amenities are completely automated.

There is not an age requirement to shoot at our facilities. We just ask that young shooters be large enough to handle the firearms they will be shooting safely, and that they be capable of understanding safety instruction. Anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult.

Our ranges rent shotguns for use on our clay target ranges only. We do not rent handguns or rifles.

Our rentals include Beretta A300 semi-automatics, Beretta A400 semi-automatics, Benelli Supber Black Eagle III’s semi-automatics, Benelli Montefeltro semi-automatics, Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I over/unders and Browning Citori over/unders. Our rental fee is $25 per gun for semi-automatics and $40 for an over/under.

We recommend no more than three shooters share one firearm. This is for your comfort, as the gun will get very hot with repeated shooting and foul much more quickly leading to reliability issues. We have shotguns for rent and advise you use them for large groups without enough guns. We do not offer rentals for handgun or rifle shooting.

There are no areas at our ranges where you can shoot buckshot.

On the rifle and pistol range, it is prohibited to shoot buckshot due to its destruction of our target backers. It is also prohibited on all clay target sports as non-target loads travel farther and risk severely injuring other shooters. This is true even with smaller game loads, like #6 shot. You may shoot only slugs out of your shotgun on our rifle & pistol range.

On our clay target ranges, you may shoot lead or steel targets loads only, shot size 7 – 9.

An increase in the price of clay targets has forced us to change our target allocation on April 1, 2020. We do remove 10% off from the total target count for every group which is intended to make up for any broken targets your group may have. You may use these additional allocated clays as you wish. Machine signs (A,B,C and D) and diagrams are posted at every station that mark where each presentation is coming from.

Not at all! You may shoot clays by yourself by using our simple delay system. You can program a delay into the target release system to give you between 1 to 5 seconds to get ready prior to the clay launching once the button is pressed. Inquire at the front desk and we can provide you with written instructions and/or an employee to provide you with a quick tutorial at your first station.

We limit our shooters to paper targets only on the rifle & pistol range. You can bring your own paper targets or a variety of options are available at the range for you to purchase. We provide toothpicks to affix your target to our foam target holders. You may bring your own staple gun to affix your target if you wish to do so.

We allow all types of paper targets with the exception of human or silhouette targets, as we are a family friendly range. You may shoot at a silhouette target, so long as the head is folded behind the target and not visible to range patrons.
