This is the home of the pistol and rifle disciplines. These new disciplines are now available. The 200, 300, and 600 yard center fire ranges are fully baffled and are also protected by 60 foot long shooting tubes. All of these safeguards are in place to keep the facility safe and eliminate any stray bullets from leaving the site. |

Rifle Range

| In the
center of the above photo you can see our 200, 300, and 600 yard rifle
ranges. There are a total of 24 covered firing points on these ranges.
These were engineered to allow for no "blue sky" and will not let a
bullet to escape the grounds. This is accomplished using a baffle and
tube system for shooting under and through. This photo also gives you a good sense of the layout for all of the rifle and handgun ranges which includes the 25 yard, 50 yard, 100 yard, 200 yard, 300 yard, and 600 yard ranges. You can also spot the twelve competitive handgun ranges in the upper right side of the range photo. |
| Rifle Range Benches |
 |
||
| Each of the benches for the 200, 300, and 600 yard ranges are constructed of heavy concrete and steel, making them extremely steady for the long range shooter. | |||
Multi-Purpose Range
 |
100 Yard Multi-Purpose Range | ||
| This is the downrange view from the benches on the 100 yard range. Pictured are the baffles and target stands. As you can see, by properly using the firing points, there is no "blue sky" to which a stray bullet can escape. | |||
| 100 Yard Multi-Purpose Range |
 |
||
| The 100 yard multi-purpose range has concrete sidewalks that cross the range at 25 yard intervals allowing target changes with mud-free footing. | |||
 |
100 Yard Multi-Purpose Range | ||
| The 100 yard range boasts 30 individual rifle benches with adjustable seats that allow for both right and left handed shooters. | |||

Pictured above are the Covered Firing
Points for the 100 yard range. There are 30 bench firing points and 15 standing firing points on this range as well. This range has a maximum distance of 115 yards and can accommodate Rifle, Handgun, and Black Powder sports. Currently, we have moveable target stands that may be positioned at any distance on the range. Both Rifle and Pistol targets are provided. This range is only open when a RSO (Range Safety Officer) is present. If you would like to become a RSO with unlimited free shooting opportunities Please contact Bill Starkey at the Activity Center. |
