Rifle Range

There is no Range Master on site; however, the area is patrolled by SCA Staff throughout the day. The range includes restrooms, tables, benches, and target backstops set at various intervals. This is a target range only—no clay shooting, tannerite, shotguns, or fully automatic firearms are permitted. For clay shooting, please use the Spring Creek Trap and Skeet range.

Please note:

• Do not bring glass or plastic items to use as targets.
• Users must clean up spent rounds and targets before leaving.
• A gate code is required for access. Non-property owners may purchase a code through the Reservation System or by scanning the QR code at the gate.
• The facility is available for private matches when reserved by shooting clubs.
