Our outdoor rifle range features covered shooting positions with backstops at 100, 200 and 300 yards. The firing line provides a level concrete floor with large shooting benches at each station. The club also provides a 25 yard handgun range next to the main outdoor range and a Turkey Shoot range next to the clubhouse. Within the clubhouse is our heated 25 yard indoor range.
