“Awesome Range Loved it. There is a Public Range, A Police and Public Safety Range and Training Facility where I was at. There is a Mounted Horse Shooting Arena, a Archery range, A shotgun and clay target range, 1000 yard range. A activity center, facility and operations center, Range store with supplies and gift shop, several campgrounds some with full hook ups. Some just for Large Motorhomes and fifth wheels. Plenty”

“This is the second part of the Ben Avery facility that I've been to. I go to the clay center frequently but this was my first time at the range. It can be a bit intimidating going to a new shooting range the first time, but the staff here (just like at the clay center) was excellent. They were friendly and very helpful and will guide you through the whole process. I think I will be frequenting this place too. Service”

“We came to this shooting range for the CANCON suppressor event, traveling all the way from California. It was our first time seeing a range this massiveu2014you actually have to drive a few minutes just to get from one area to another. The setup offers a lot of freedom, with multiple shooting zones and even a cowboy-style horseback shooting area. Although most of our time was spent at CANCON this trip, we definitely hope”

“We went to Ben Avery to throw off some rounds. The Range Master was very nice and let us come in a few minutes early to get targets set up for the following round. The Range Safety officers were really great this time and made the day fun. We did a little shopping in the store and the ammo trailer. The area is kept clean and regulations are followed. Makes for a great experience.”
