We are open to the public and welcome first time shooters. Only shotgun shooting is allowed at our facility. We have instructors available by appointment. Their phone numbers are listed below. Everything you need to shoot can be purchased or rented at the pro shop. Eye and ear protection are mandatory. We host a Tuesday night beginners skeet league all four seasons of the year and a beginner's trap league on Sundays. The league web sites are listed to the left. We do not take reservations except for corporate or group outings.
Beginner Shooting Clinics Saturdays At 10:30AM Join us for an all inclusive beginner shooting clinic at 10:30 on Saturdays. The price per person is $16.95 plus tax. This includes classroom instruction and everything you need to shoot one round of 25 targets with a group instructor. Children ten and older are welcome but they must be able to hold up a gun safely. Plan on it lasting one and a half to three hours depending on the size of the group. You must be on time to participate in the clinic. You can still shoot at the range if you are late. We have employees running the ranges to keep you safe and answer your questions. The clinic is very helpful but not required. We have complete beginners shoot everyday.
