Newly improved with covered shooting pavilions. Handicapped accessible. 50 yard and 100 yard rifle range. Separate pistol range with various distances up to 25 yards. Fun for the whole family. The range is open until sunset, not necessarily 7pm

Nice property. Definitely maintained. Large area for multiple people to safely shoot. Quiet the last time I was there, it was just me and my brother with the 12g. Would definitely go back if I'm up that way and the weather is warmer.

Great range but some neighbor likes to show up and give you a hard time. Makes you feel uncomfortable.

There is a resident nearby this range that consistently causes trouble for others and actively discourages shooting here. He reports everyone he can to the game wardens and is an absolutely miserable person. Why he chose to live next to a shooting range is beyond anyones comprehension but expecting intelligence from such a bitter person is apparently a high bar.

Be careful if your handicapped and you go there, because there's a resident that doesn't like handicapped people and harasses them. There truly isn't any public ranges that are handicapped friendly, only handicapped accessible.

Clean, well kept only issue I have is no trash containers, but I guess that is to be expected since people would abuse the free disposal.
