Overview of the Overlapping Ranges
More details
A satellite image of the property is provided with all ranges clearly outlined, labeled, and color-coded. These outlines also indicate the potential projectile trajectories beyond each backstop.
All highlighted impact and travel zones must be visually inspected and confirmed clear of people before any range is placed into use. Several of our outdoor ranges share overlapping impact areas. Before any outdoor range is used, it is critical to confirm that no other ranges are active and that no members are downrange for any reason.
This includes verifying that no one is setting up targets on the medium rifle range, using the archery course, or working in any impact areas.
In most cases, when one outdoor range is in use, other outdoor ranges may not be available at the same time due to overlapping safety areas. Shooters should be prepared for occasional wait times.
Members are encouraged to plan ahead and consider bringing a backup option, such as a rimfire rifle or pistol, to use on the indoor range while waiting for an outdoor range to become available.
When all shooting has concluded and ranges are no longer in use, all range signs must be returned to the “Not In Use” position, with no red visible on any indicators.
Failure to properly verify range status or set signage creates a serious safety risk. When in doubt, assume a range is active and verify before proceeding.
Trap Range
More details
Trap is one of the club’s most popular activities.
We host many shoots throughout the year, including ATA and club-sanctioned events.
Unlike a standard $5 range visit, trap and skeet use is priced per course run rather than per visit.
Please check the calendar for the weekly open trap league night, and special events.
Before using any outdoor range, all other outdoor ranges must be checked to confirm that no one is setting up targets, actively using another range, or is downrange for any reason. This includes the medium rifle range, the archery course, and all other outdoor shooting/archery areas.
When the trap range is in use, the range status signs must be set as shown below. If shooters wish to use the 100-yard rifle range while trap is active, this may only occur with the agreement of the trap shooters and clear communication between all parties before both ranges are used simultaneously. In this situation, the photo showing both range signs flipped represents the correct configuration.
When all ranges are no longer in use, all range signs must be returned to the “Not in Use” position, with no red visible on the indicators.
Skeet Range

Short Rifle Range (100yds)
More details
The short range rifle range has a maximum distance of 100 yards. A rolling bench rest may be positioned at 50 yards, and a designated sniper hut is located at the 100-yard line. The hut includes an ambidextrous bench as well as space alongside it for prone shooting.
The terrain between the 50- and 100-yard lines slopes downward, allowing for off-hand and tripod shooting. Shooters must take great care to ensure that all projectiles impact the backstop and do not travel over it. Immediately behind this backstop is the start of the 3D archery range, making proper shot placement critical.
Paper targets may be placed on the provided rubber backstops. Any steel targets, target stands, or other personal equipment must be carried in and carried out by the shooter. Steel targets for rifle use must be engaged at a distance of 100 yards from the 100-yard line only and may not be placed at shorter distances.
All targets must be hung below the top edge of the rubber backstop. The upper portion consists of wood and metal mounting hardware that secures the rubber. Shooting this hardware is unsafe, damages range infrastructure, and is considered extremely inconsiderate. Please refrain from engaging anything other than approved target areas.
Members needing assistance with sighting in a rifle are encouraged to attend club meetings and range events. Many experienced members are willing to help, and participation is a great way to meet others and contribute back to the club community.
No firearms producing more than 80,000 ft/lbs muzzle energy are permitted. (I.E. 50BMG)
The club prohibits machine guns or any firearm capable of firing more than one round per single trigger pull.
Any device intended to increase the rate of fire beyond standard semi-automatic function is prohibited.
The use of explosive, incendiary, or reactive targets or ammunition is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, exploding targets (I.E. Tannerite), glass bottles, tracer, incendiary, or pyrotechnic ammunition
Medium Rifle Range (400yds)
More details
When using the medium range rifle range, shooters can conveniently inspect the impact area while going downrange to set up targets. The range includes three primary backstops, located at approximately 200, 300, and 400 yards.
The most recent documented measurements for these backstops were taken on January 18, 2026, using a Halo Optics XLR 3000 rangefinder. Measurements were recorded from the tower, seated at the bench with the bench positioned as far forward as possible, as shown in the accompanying photos. The measured distances were:
- 200-yard backstop: 211.6 yards
- 300-yard backstop: 299.2 yards
- 400-yard backstop: 379.0 yards
A photo below provides a zoomed-in view of the three backstops as seen from the tower.
The 100-yard rifle range and the 400-yard range may be used simultaneously, provided there is clear acknowledgment and awareness between all shooters involved.
A Range Status Gate is located at the base of the tower near the medium rifle range. This gate serves as a primary, physical safety indicator for overlapping range use.
- When the gate is closed, the 3D Archery Course is in use and both rifle ranges are closed.
- When the gate is open, rifle range use may proceed only if all other range status indicators allow it.
It is extremely important that archers do not rely on the main range status board alone.
When using the 3D Archery Course, archers must use both:
- the Range Status Gate, and
- the main range status board.
When the 3D Archery Course is in use, all outdoor firearm ranges are closed.
Both indicators must clearly reflect this condition before archery use begins.
When shooting from the tower, shooters must ensure their vehicle is clearly visible, so anyone approaching or driving nearby is aware the tower is occupied. In addition, both the rifle range and trap range status signs must be flipped appropriately, as firing from the tower involves shooting over the trap range. These steps are especially important before traveling downrange to set up targets.
All shooting must be conducted directly into designated backstops.
There are no exceptions to this requirement.
No firearms producing more than 80,000 ft/lbs muzzle energy are permitted. (I.E. 50BMG)

Archery 3D Course
More details
A Range Status Gate is located at the base of the rifle tower near the medium rifle range. This gate serves as a primary, physical safety indicator for overlapping range use.
- When the gate is closed, the 3D Archery Course is in use and both rifle ranges are closed.
- When the gate is open, rifle range use may proceed only if all other range status indicators allow it.
It is extremely important that archers do not rely on the main range status board alone.
When using the 3D Archery Course, archers must use both:
- the Range Status Gate, and
- the main range status board.
When the 3D Archery Course is in use, all outdoor firearm ranges are closed.
Both indicators must clearly reflect this condition before archery use begins.
Archery Fixed Practice Range
More details
The fixed archery range consists of multiple target butts positioned in the open lawn area between the archery range and the driveway.
Because the range is fully open and all shooting lanes, targets, and downrange areas are clearly visible, there are no overlapping trajectories or concealed areas of concern. When used as intended, this range presents no safety conflicts with other areas of the property.
Indoor Range
More details
The indoor range is 50 feet in length and features multiple shooting stalls, allowing several shooters to use the range simultaneously. The range is well lit, providing good visibility throughout.
A red indicator light is used to signal a cold range when shooters need to go downrange to hang or adjust targets. When entering the indoor range, shooters should announce themselves and confirm the current range status to maintain clear communication and situational awareness.
It is recommended that the exhaust ventilation system be turned on during use to help prevent the buildup of gases generated during shooting.
The range is equipped with tables and props that support both static and dynamic-style shooting for those who wish to position closer to the backstop. For safety reasons, shooting closer than 21 feet is not recommended. The 21-foot minimum distance is marked clearly on the concrete floor.
We are always looking for additional participants for the Sporter Rifle League. This 22LR rimfire league offers a rewarding challenge and a great opportunity to develop skills in off-hand rifle shooting, focusing on fundamentals such as balance, trigger control, and consistency.
Only rimfire and non-magnum handgun cartridges producing less than 1,000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy are permitted at the indoor range. No 5.7×28, bottleneck high-velocity cartridges or steel/penetrating ammo.
The club prohibits machine guns or any firearm capable of firing more than one round per single trigger pull.
Any device intended to increase the rate of fire beyond standard semi-automatic function is prohibited.
Cowboy Village
More details
The photo below shows the entrance to the Cowboy Village as viewed from the trap field, to the right of the shipping container.
It is mandatory that the archery range is verified clear and visually inspected before using the Cowboy Village.
The Cowboy Village contains multiple permanently installed steel targets. These targets must not be moved from this area to any other range on the property.
To be very clear:
Only handgun ammunition loaded with full lead bullets may be used on the Cowboy Village steel targets. Jacketed bullets, steel-core, or armor-penetrating ammunition are strictly prohibited.
Members wishing to shoot jacketed ammunition must bring and use their own appropriate targets and may not use the Cowboy Village steel.
These rules exist to protect the targets, maintain safe shooting conditions, and preserve the intended character and atmosphere of the Cowboy Village.
