Tom Lowe Trap & Skeet Range

The Tom Lowe Trap & Skeet Range is a municipal trap and skeet range catering to beginners, consisting of 20 combination trap and skeet fields, and a 5-stand sporting clays field. 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 Saturday Mornings 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.

Corporate Outings Or Group Outings

Schedule an all inclusive corporate outing. Great for employee outings, entertaining customers, or wedding parties. These are done by reservation on a reserved field with an experienced shooting instructor. Perfect for complete beginners or experienced shooters. The costs are $85.00 per instructor (one for each group of 10 shooters) and $39.95 per shooter for up to 50 targets per shooter or two hours, whichever comes first. You can have your shooting event catered and we have a meeting room with a projector screen available for your use at no extra charge. Contact Chuck Wetherington to schedule an outing.
