300 Yard Known Distance (Lower) Range

Our 300 yard range is located behind our clubhouse near our fishing pond. Its open during daylight hours to members 365 days a year except when reserved for club-sponsored events, maintenance or activities. It features a covered shooting line, scoring house, target pit with retractable stands as well as positions for shooting at 100, 200 and 300 yards. It also has various flags to help the shooter in gauging the wind.

This is where we currently hold our F-Class style fun shoots. In the past, we've held NRA High Power shoots on this range (and can do so again if interest arises). Due to the interesting topography and weather in our area, our range can be quite challenging. If you can shoot at Burlington Flats, you can handle whatever is thrown at you anywhere else!

Safety Awareness
The range actually passes over the nearest portion of our fishing pond. So, there can be no fishing while shooting is taking place. Additionally, shooting always takes precedence over fishing. If someone is fishing and someone else wishes to shoot, please politely ask the fisher to leave the area for the duration of the shoot. If you are fishing and someone wishes to shoot, you must vacate immediately.

The skeet field overlooks the 300 yard range. As a result of this, no one can be on the 300 yard range if the skeet field is already in use. Of course, if the 300 yard range is needed for a club-sponsored event, then the skeet field must be vacated. In the event of two members wanting to use the two areas for personal use at the same time, it's decided on a first-come, first serve basis (whoever was there first shoots and the latecomer must wait).

Access & Parking
Access to the range is via the range access road. This is the small road just past the club entrance to the west (if you are on Louie Dickinson Rd and facing our clubhouse, it would be the next road to your left.). Simply follow the "F-Class" signs.

Roughly halfway down this road is a checkpoint where you should stop. When the 300 yard range is NOT being used for shooting, the checkpoint sign should always be flipped to "Range Not In Use". When shooting IS to take place, the sign must be flipped to "Range In Use" and the chain/rope barrier put across the road. Do not cross the checkpoint if there are barriers across the roads and/or signs indicating the range is in use. Wait until you are clearly physically cleared to enter. If you are the only shooter, then you are responsible for displaying the signs. We also encourage use of our red/green sign at the end of our shooting line pavilion (green for "safe to enter" and red for "do not enter". This should be used in conjunction with the aforementioned checkpoint sign.

Parking for the 300 yard line is to the right of the white shed. Parking for the 200 yard firing line is along the road that runs between the 300 yard firing line and the target pit. Do not drive or park in the grassy areas next to the shooting benches. Also do not drive on the small causeway/dam near the closest part of the pond/entrance to the target pits. If you are by yourself and are shooting make sure your vehicle is can easily be seen in case someone else should enter the range behind you.

As with all of our ranges, please respect the club property within the 300 yard range. Also, please be sure to keep the range clean. Pick up your brass and do not litter. Please take out whatever you bring in with you. Remember that others shoot here as well.
