Central Montana Shooting Complex

Central Montana Shooting Complex operates as a privately-owned, member-supported range at 520 Lime Kiln Rd in Lewistown. The club exists to create a safe environment for recreational shooting while promoting firearms education, safety training, and marksmanship across all experience levels—from kids to law enforcement to dedicated sport shooters.

The facility includes multiple dedicated ranges:

• •Outdoor Pistol Range - Up to 75 yards, open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• •Outdoor Rifle Range - Up to 600 yards, open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• •Shotgun Disciplines - Skeet, Sporting Clays, and 5 Stand
• •Muzzle Loading - Dedicated area for black powder shooting
• •Rimfire Bay - .22 LR only (family-friendly, 1-hour limit during busy times)

All ranges operate sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week (hours subject to change). The facility uses designated targets and target holders only, with established berms and backstops to contain all rounds on property.

Annual Membership: $75

Memberships run January 1 to December 31. You'll receive an individually-numbered key for gate access. Members must lock the gate behind them at all times—the front gate stays locked to keep the range secure.

A seasonal Hunters Pass is also available October 1 through December 31 for $50.

Purchase membership at: > Sport Center | 120 2nd Ave S, Lewistown, MT 59457 | (406) 535-9308

This isn't a casual shooting spot. CMSC is insured, and insurance coverage applies only when you follow the rules. Break them, have an accident, and you're liable.

Key safety points:

• •Eye and hearing protection required for everyone on the firing line
• •Actions must be open, chambers empty, magazines removed when firearms are uncased
• •Only load when the line is HOT; unload during cease-fires immediately
• •No magnum handgun calibers at the pistol range (rifle range only)
• •No armor-piercing, steel core, or tracer ammunition
• •No fully automatic firearms
• •No 50 BMG
• •Ammunition velocity limited to 1300 fps maximum in pistol bays
• •10-yard minimum distance from steel targets
• •No alcohol while shooting (board-approved events only, firearms locked first)
• •All guests, children under 19, and pets must be supervised by a member

If no RSO (Range Safety Officer) is present, members designate one. Only the RSO sends shooters downrange and manages cease-fires with flags and lights.

CMSC runs a popular annual raffle—buy tickets for a chance to win one of 31 firearms throughout January. Past winners include members like Keith Kuler, Don Bost, Darwin Reynolds, and many others from the Lewistown area.
