CrossRoads Shooting Sports is Johnston, Iowa's premier indoor shooting range and gun store, located at 5550 Johnston Drive just off the Merle Hay exit #131 on I-80/35. The facility features 17 military-grade indoor shooting lanes at up to 25 yards with modern shooting booths and automated target retrieval systems. CrossRoads accepts rifle calibers up to 7.62x51 and shotgun slugs, and offers walk-in range use with no reservations required. Lane fees are priced per day rather than per hour, giving shooters unlimited time unless wait lists develop. Date Night on Fridays offers two shooters for $29.99. The pro shop stocks firearms, ammunition, targets, and accessories, and CrossRoads offers gunsmithing, FFL transfers, and suppressors. Training covers Iowa Permit to Carry courses, the Armed Women of America Des Moines Chapter, and additional classes. Competitive shooters can participate in the CrossRoads Shooting Club (USPSA), GSSF Indoor League, Friday Night Pins bowling pin competition, and the Black Rifle Club membership program. Group and private events are available by arrangement.
