Yes, you must either be an active member or the guest of an active member for the day.
No. You must be a member or a guest of a member to use the range. No exceptions.
All of our memberships are good one year from the day you sign up.
Come to the shop and sign up in person. You will present your ID (driver’s license or other form of identification), fill out a membership form and waiver. You do not need to do this on a special trip. Come on a day when you’d like to use the range, we’ll sign you up (takes about 10 minutes) and you can use the range right then. We also waive your first daily fee if you shoot on the same day you sign up!
The minimum age to shoot is 10 years old. You may bring younger children to watch and teach, but they cannot participate in shooting unless they are 10 years or older. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and be under constant supervision.
You can technically bring as many guests as you’d like at a time (each guest is $30 per person, per day). However, please keep in mind we are a small range and are not set up to accommodate large groups. We will do our best to accommodate all guests, but we can’t make guarantees on keeping larger groups together on the range. All guests must be accompanied by their corresponding active members the whole time they are on the range.
Yes. At the Basic and Advanced levels, you can add family members to your membership for half price (family members MUST live in the same household. Proof of address may be required.) Each of you on the family membership will share the same daily fee. For example, for a family of 3 looking to sign up at the Advanced Level, the first member would be $110 per year to sign up, then each of the other two members would be $55 each to sign up. All three members would each pay their $10 daily fee when they come to the range each time.

You cannot shoot any paper target with a recognizable face (silhouette targets are acceptable).

If you bring a shotgun and want to use birdshot or buckshot, you must notify the office when signing in and special instructions will be given at that time. Reloaded ammunition is allowed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: You cannot be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol on the range at any time.

After you complete your transaction online, there is nothing additional that needs to be done on your end. You do not need to call us and let us know it is coming unless there something went wrong or you have a special circumstance for pick-up that we need to be aware of. The online store you purchased from will ship your firearm along with your contact information to us. Once it gets delivered to the shop, we’ll unpack it, process it and call you to notify you that it is ready for transfer. Please note that delivery of your firearm does NOT mean that it is ready for transfer. Your firearm is only ready for transfer after we contact you and notify you it is ready.

Yes. We offer this class year-round. Our class is $60 and is approx. three hours long (two hours in the classroom and one hour on the range for the live-fire portion).
