Range Notes

Welcome to the Practical Pistol Range. This range provides three separate areas to practice your shooting skills. On the left side of the range there are two tables set up for shooting bowling pins. There are Bowling Pin matches held weekly every Monday evening from April through September and Saturdays afternoons from October through December. Above the bowling pin area is a plate rack for members to practice shooting steel plates at 50’. On the right side of the Practical Pistol range you will find a large area to practice your shooting skills. This area is used for Rimfire Plate matches on the last Sunday of every month from April through October. There are weekly USPSA style matches held every Saturday morning year round where Quaker Hill members have the opportunity to shoot side by side with some of the top shooters in the United States. Please refer to the range safety rules prior to using the Practical Pistol Range.
