Barracks 616

Barracks 616 operates a 12-lane indoor shooting range at 25 yards in Grand Rapids, featuring Action Target's Total Containment Trap™ (TCT)—the industry standard for modern heavy-duty steel bullet traps. This matters because the TCT design eliminates the weaknesses of older trap systems: splatter is virtually eliminated, ricochet is prevented even at close distances, and lead dust gets collected into sealable containers instead of floating around.

The facility uses a negative pressure dust collection unit (DCU) with OSHA-approved filtration that continuously removes fine airborne particles. They run 8 full-time public lanes and 4 private lanes for classes, events, and overflow.

Call ahead to reserve up to one month in advance. Last range time slot available one hour before closing.

Range hours: - Tuesday–Wednesday: 12 p.m.–6 p.m. - Thursday–Friday: 10 a.m.–8 p.m. - Saturday: 10 a.m.–4 p.m. - Sunday: 11 a.m.–5 p.m. (range only) - Closed Mondays

Full rental costs $10 ($20 for suppressed firearms) plus ammunition cost. They also offer a "10 for 10" option: $10 for the firearm plus 10 rounds to test-drive it. If you buy a firearm within 24 hours of renting, the rental fee credits toward purchase (two rentals maximum). Rental firearms must use their ammunition, though they'll allow new brass-cased ammo if they're out of stock.
