Farragut Shooting Range Center

Farragut Public Shooting Range operates four distinct shooting facilities designed to accommodate everyone from new shooters to experienced hunters and competitors.

The 50-yard range has 12 shooting points and accepts handguns and rimfire rifles, accommodating distances from 7 to 50 yards. The 100-yard range features 12 points for rifles, shotgun slugs, and scoped handguns—typically shot at 50-100 yards, with shorter distances available under Range Safety Officer supervision for scope verification. The 200-yard range provides 12 points for rifle shooting at 100-200 yard distances.

The shotgun trap has 4 points with manually cocked mechanical throwers. Shot is limited to #7.5, #8, and #9. Participants bring their own clay targets. The archery range features 20 shooting points along a 1-mile 3D target loop and welcomes crossbows.

No shooters can begin before 9 a.m., and the range stops signing in new shooters at 3 p.m. An airhorn at 3:30 p.m. signals shooters to prepare for departure. The gate locks at 4 p.m. sharp. Check the range website or Facebook for seasonal closures due to weather or reserved events.

What's there: Vault toilets, covered shooting stations, and parking.

What you can buy: Eye and ear protection, reloading brass, shooting clays, and bottled water.

Exploding targets, tracer rounds, incendiary rounds, and steel-core ammunition are not allowed on any state-owned Idaho public shooting range.

Groups of 10 or more can reserve the range for shooting clubs, competition events, hunter education, marksmanship training, family reunions, scouts, church groups, and other special events. Reservations allow up to 7 hours of shooting between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Reservation fees: - Half-day: $50 nonrefundable fee + $50 refundable security deposit (total $103) - Full-day: $100 nonrefundable fee + $100 refundable security deposit (total $206)

The range also has a classroom that seats about 30 people, complete with projector, TV, parking, indoor restroom, and warming kitchen. Classroom and range reservations are separate and can be booked together.
