I have been going to this range for years and have always had a good experience. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

Range is designed good. Plenty of stations to shoot pistol and rifle. Only draw-back is you have to bring your own target backdrops. Good though as people tend to not clean up area as good as it should be.

Needs LOTS of work, and maybe a little more supervision of the site. While we were cleaning up our shells a gentleman did show up to sweep up "some" of the shells left by others who did not but the range was trashed. This was our first time so I cannot judge it from past experiences but it was terrible. It is posted that a $3 fee is required but not one of the 5 other vehicles left money. If they...

If they had it probably would have been stolen from the homeless guy living in the woods that was stalking the place as there was not a lock on the box. It also says nothing but paper targets...but there were plastic bottles and jugs, aluminum cans and general trash left on the range lanes. So much so it made it hard to walk to place our targets. IF, BIG IF, we return we will bring a rake and our target stand. Also, be warned, the road is very rugged and at points it is only wide enough for one vehicle.

The only free shooting range near me. Yes, it's not kept clean because users don't pickup after themselves. ALWAYS bring your own toilet paper, some one keeps taking it. Please pickup more than just your stuff. It really is a nice place.

We went there on a Wednesday wasn't too busy. We did clean up our mess. And we had lots of fun especially the guys and my youngest daughter November 2021.
