I have heard good things but have never had the opportunity to shoot there. I don't think they have anything past 100 yards if memory serves correctly.

It's only 50 feet. Can't shoot anything over pistol caliber.

Well I figured until that happened I would be able to get myself and the boys shooting some. Much cheaper than Safe Fire or English Pit.

English Pit.

Dude I would give up guns before I went to the English. That place sucks. Last time I was there I got swept three times and finally said to he!! with it and left.

Yawn.

Yawn.

Tell us how you really feel!

I haven't shot there. Only been there to look and for the recent shooting competition. Only thought about going there because there isn't an age requirement so the younger boys would be able to shoot. It would cost about $40 to take them plus ammo.

The pistol club works out to be about $10 a month.

Would be a good place to take your boys.....for now.

That's what I was thinking.

I'd do it.

Only been there once to observe their backstop, they let me look at it and talk about it for research for the work at Wolf Creek.

50 feet ain't much but it would work for a rainy day and a brick of 22.

They seem really nice there. Their prices are super inexpensive too.

Used to be a member.

Pro's: cheap, use your own ammo, pick up your cases, use your own targets; hours of operation; easy access during the week.

Con's: 50' MAX - if others are already shooting you are limited to the distance they are shooting from; No separation between shooters; ammo is limited based upon power factor (their site has details); no on-site RO.

While significantly more expensive, I prefer Safefire indoor range in Camas.

 

[WrenchNguns]

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

For .22 rifles and pistols to get the kids taught I'd think it would be a fine place to start them.

Only you know your budget though.

Can do a lot of pistol work within 15yards+. ..downside, no rifle...unless you have a pistol caliber model.

If you arrive and someone is set up 10 feet from the target, that where you shoot from. If they are at the back wall , that is where you shoot from. All targets set at back wall, no pulley system to set target at desired distance. And you get the privilege of receiving emails telling you someone did something unsafe and they "MAY" institute a range officer system so that you can only shoot if a range officer (supervisor) is present. I quit before this was implemented so don't know that it has yet. I saw no way they could keep a supervisor there 7 days a week, 15 hours a day.

Not cheaper than the forest.
