RIFLE AND PISTOL RANGES

At Blackwood, we can accommodate anything from single shooters to large parties. Are you looking to hone your skills with your pistol and your long gun? No Problem! Our range is set up to allow you to shoot from as close as 5 yards, out to 200 yards. You won’t even need to change shooting lanes!

Safety

All shooters are required to wear hearing & eye protection while range is “hot”. While we do offer these items for sale in the pro shop, hearing & eye protection are NOT provided.

Great place to shoot. Reasonably priced, friendly service and the Range Safety Officer (RSO) was fantastic. Not only did he do a great job of ensuring we all shot safely but he offered VERY helpful tips and added a very much appreciated bit of "expert advice" to my sighting in process.
