Plan Your Range Trip

Indoor or outdoor, pistol or rifle — pick the setup that fits your goals.

Indoor vs Outdoor

Indoor: Climate controlled, backstop provided, $15–30/hr. Good for pistol training. Most restrict above .223.

Outdoor: More space, longer distances, fewer caliber restrictions. Weather-dependent but real shooting experience.

Kids at the Range

Most ranges allow minors with direct adult supervision.

Start with .22 LR — manageable recoil, cheap ammo, proper fundamentals without frustration.

Double ear protection (plugs + muffs). Start slow, keep it fun, and make safety the habit from day one.
