Capitol Range & Firearms (formerly Youngsville Gun Club) is a public indoor shooting range, gun store and training center at 132 Franklin Park in Youngsville, North Carolina, about 25 minutes north of Raleigh and 15 minutes from Wake Forest. The facility is open to walk-in shooters and members, seven days a week.
The range has 20 indoor lanes, including five extended 75-foot lanes. Fifteen lanes use the Evolve Range Solutions Target System, a digital live-fire setup that pairs real ammunition with interactive digital targets for drills, games and scenario-based training, including shoot/no-shoot scenarios. Five traditional lanes are available for standard practice, zeroing and precision drills. Rental handguns, rifles, shotguns and suppressors are available, along with full-auto (machine gun) rentals offered to members at a discount, and eye and ear protection.
Training is taught by NRA-certified instructors and runs from 2-hour mini courses to multi-day classes. The curriculum includes Handgun 101, Handgun 201, Handgun 301 (Defensive Pistol 1), Handgun 401 (Defensive Pistol 2), the one-day state-approved North Carolina Concealed Carry class, enhanced CCH training, Red Dot Handgun Training, AR-15 Fundamentals, AVIRT, NRA courses, USCCA seminars and cleaning-basics classes. Guns & Gals is a women's shooting league that meets twice a month. Private one-on-one instruction can be booked online, and corporate and group programs are offered.
Other services include an on-site gunsmithing workshop, FFL transfers, NFA eForms, an online ammo store and firearm sales. The range can be rented for private events, parties and corporate outings, with a private VIP room available for presentations or dining. Walk-in shooters sign a digital waiver, watch a safety video and buy a $15 annual range card before renting lanes by the hour.
Memberships include an Individual plan, a Family plan, a discounted Patriot plan for military, law enforcement, firefighters and EMS, and a $35/month Weekday Club. A joint membership with True North Firearm Center adds outdoor tactical bays and covered long ranges at 25, 100 and 325 yards.
