Plan your visit
What to bring: Your own firearm and factory-new ammo if you want to use them (or rent a gun and buy ammo on-site). Eye and ear protection can be rented for $7.99. For LTC classes, bring a valid driver's license or state ID, a handgun in good working condition, 50 rounds of ammo, and note-taking materials. There is no lunch break, so bring snacks or drinks.
Ammo policy: Only factory-new ammunition may be used in rental firearms; your own ammo is allowed in rentals if it is range safe and factory new. Permitted: FMJ (copper or brass), soft points, hollow points, slugs, and No. 4 buckshot or larger. Prohibited: steel-jacketed or steel-core rounds, black powder, tracers, painted-tip projectiles. Do not put live ammo or spent brass in trash cans; push spent brass forward on the firing line.
Age policy: Minimum age to shoot is 8. All shooters under 18 must be under constant, direct supervision of a parent or guardian within the same lane. Ages 18-20 may rent and purchase rifles, shotguns and their ammunition. Ages 21+ are required to rent or purchase pistols, pistol ammunition, and machine gun rentals (a pistol may be rented by someone under 21 only if a guardian is present, per the training page). Machine gun rental requires 21+.

First-timer tips: Sign the online range waiver and check the online queue before visiting. Private suites are for new shooters who want more privacy. The New Shooter class and private lessons are options for first-timers. Unload all firearms before entering the building. Firearms must be cased or holstered, or have the action locked open. Load only in your shooting booth. If a firearm jams, leave it on the table pointed downrange and signal a Range Safety Officer. Switch shooters, not lanes. Only one set of range doors should be open at a time. No food, drinks, smoking, vaping or tobacco in the range area. Staff may refuse service to anyone acting unsafely or appearing impaired.
