Indoor Range

Our indoor range includes a meeting room, foyer for spectators, and 8 shooting positions.  The 20 meter shooting distance allows shooters to hone their skills in a clean heated environment during the winter. The range is used for handguns, 22 rifles and airguns.  It is used by the Archery, Cowboy action shooters, IPSC and Smallbore shooters as well as the Juniors.  Thursday evenings are usually reserved for fun shooting with pistols.
