Ammo Alley

Ammo Alley operates with a simple philosophy: a shooting range doesn't have to be dark or seedy. The facility near Hartsburg is bright, clean, and built specifically to welcome everyone—from curious newcomers to competitive shooters. The range operates under the "Ammo Alley" brand with a companion training academy called Shooter's Alley.

The indoor range uses the Savage Snail System—an electronic-controlled target manipulation system that lets shooters set fixed distances and retrieve targets without leaving the lane. Everything runs in a climate-controlled environment, which means you can shoot comfortably year-round without weather getting in the way.

Ammo Alley runs structured training through their academy:
