Indoor 50 Foot Range

Our 50 ft indoor range is where we conduct programs such as Junior Rifle, Sporterifle and Bullseye Pistol. The range is heated, lit and ventilated. It features 10 upper and 6 lower backstops. At certain times of the year (late Fall through Early Spring), it also features 10 wooden shooting lane stalls.

Who May Use the Range
Any paid member (who has read and understands our range safety rules and range limitations...more below) can use the range. They are allowed one guest and are held personally resoponsible for the conduct of that guest.Club-sponsored events, activities or maintenance always take precedence over personal use.

Range Safety Rules
Before shooting or observing shooting activities on this range, you must read and understand our INDOOR RANGE SAFETY RULES. These rules are posted on our website as well as in the range. These rules are periodically updated, so be sure to read them from time to time. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

Range Limitations
Due to safety and property damage concerns, we have some limits on what may be shot indoors. Our backstop is mild steel, so shooting is limited to .22 rimfire (short, long or long rifle) rifles and standard handgun caliber* pistols only (*no magnum loads or centerfire rifle calibers). Furthermore, we also prefer that folks used lead or soft-nosed ammunition if possible.

The following are prohibited and CAN NOT be used:

• Centerfire Rifles (any caliber)
• Other rimfire calibers (no .17HMR, .22 WMR, etc.)
• Shotguns (any gauge)
• Black Powder Firearms (fire risk)
• Magnum Rounds (use lighter loads or specials instead)
• Centerfire Rifle Cartridge Pistols
• Steel Core/Penetrator Ammo
• Incendiary Ammo (tracers)
• Targets taller than the steel sections of backstop (especially human silhouettes).
• Our Range Rules will provide more specific information, so read them closely!

Key Safety Reminders
Due to the design/layout of the range, we must also insist that all shooting must be done from at least 50 feet. Do NOT shoot from any closer as it poses a serious safety risk. Additionally, do not "quick draw" or shoot "from the hip" or shoot in rapid "combat style." These are risky behaviors that can result in stray rounds and damage/personal injury. All targets must be hung from the target hanger wires we provide...do not set targets on the ledge or floor. All rounds must hit the steel backstop.

Please be sure to use the overhead flashing red light whenever people are down range/forward of the firing line (its controlled by the the red light switch). This lets others know the line should be kept safe (they must not be handling firearms and must be behind the red line).

Clean-up Reminders
Please ensure everything is clean/secure and that all range lights, the heater and the ventilation fans are turned off when shooting is complete. These switches are located both in the range area (left hand wall) and just outside the range door (they should be marked). The heater/thermostat is in the main clubhouse.

We have empty brass containers and a target recycling box inside the range. These are for your spent brass (please don't bring in your old brass from home, this is just for the brass used in our indoor range), and for used targets and ammo boxes. These are NOT for plastic wraps, drinks, food or other garbage. Please take any garbage you generate home with you.

We ARE Watching
Please note that the range is under video surveillance for liability purposes: If excessive damage is found, we will be able to trace it back to the responsible party and then take appropriate action. So, please be safe and treat the range facilities with care and respect. Many members use this range, so please help us keep it a nice and safe place to shoot. Most of all, lets work together to ensure the range remains available to future generations.

Access & Parking
Access to the indoor range is via the clubhouse's main entrance. Simply park outside near the clubhouse or pavilion and enter via the main entrance/front door.
