Full description and what we offer
Black River Shooting Supplies operates as a full-service shooting destination in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, serving the tri-state area including Dexter, Doniphan, and surrounding regions. What sets them apart: they've combined a gun shop, 25-yard indoor shooting range with 10 lanes, NRA training facility, gunsmith shop, and an on-site cafe all under one roof.
Firearms Selection - Virtually all major brands of pistols, handguns, and shotguns - Wide inventory to match different applications (hunting, self-defense, competition, target practice) - Staff trained to help first-time buyers navigate options without the pressure
Ammunition & Accessories Their ammo selection covers the calibers you actually shoot, with knowledgeable staff who understand the difference between projectile types. They stock: - Full metal jacket (FMJ) for training - Hollow point and soft point for hunting - Magazines for multiple platforms - Holsters (including concealed carry purses) - Sights and optics - Slings and cleaning equipment - Trigger kits - Clothing and gear - Accessories not in stock can usually be ordered
On-Site Gunsmith This is a real differentiator. They have a gunsmith available for: - Repairs and maintenance - Sight and scope mounting - Custom installations - Trigger work - General assembly and troubleshooting
The Range 25 yards, 10 lanes, climate-controlled indoor facility. Open during business hours (Tue-Sat, 9am-5pm). Rentals available for those who want to test before buying.
Caliber Cafe Located inside the range, serving comfort food and daily specials. Open Tue-Fri, 10am-2pm. Grab lunch while you're plinking.
NRA-certified instructors on staff, including a Missouri POST (Police Officer Standards of Training) Law Enforcement Instructor. Courses offered: - NRA Certified Basic Pistol Course - NRA Concealed Carry Weapons Course - NRA Personal Protection Inside the Home - NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home
New shooters often don't know what they don't know. Black River's approach is to ask about your application (hunting season coming? Need concealed carry gear? Competitive shooting?) and then match you to actual products instead of selling whatever's flashy.

Family-owned operation that emphasizes safety and proper training. Staff are described as friendly experts who don't push unnecessary gear. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained. Having everything—retail, range, training, gunsmith—in one location means you can handle a complete setup without running all over town.
