“A nice outdoor range with 6 different shooting lanes/distances. There were 2 other people there, both friendly and willing to take turns using the lanes.”

“The range is well-maintained and cared for. There are a couple of picnic tables and bow hangers. Note that to access the range, you have to ascend a short gravel path. Because itu2019s off the road, itu2019s secluded and quiet. In case you are wondering, you have to bring your own equipment. There is no equipment rental available. Overall, itu2019s a great outdoor range.”
