Facilities & Activities – Practical Pistol Range

The Practical Pistol Ranges offer shooters two areas with a little more flexibility for pistol practice. One side has an upper and lower bowling pin area with resettable steel plate racks. The other side offers an open area for freestanding targets. Neither range has a jacketed ammo restriction leaving more options open for the shooter.

Features include:

  • Bowling Pins (.22 rimfire, medium bore, large bore)
  • Resettable steel plate rack
  • Open distance range for cardboard and paper target shooting
  • Regular bowling pin matches
  • Regular USPSA style matches
