Full description and what we offer
Shepard Humphries brings serious credentials to the range. His experience in law enforcement, SWAT operations, motorcade security, and tactical firearms training shaped Jackson Hole Shooting Experience from its humble beginnings into what they claim is the world leader in recreational target shooting experiences. His co-founder and business partner, Lynn Sherwood, manages operations as CEO and CFO while maintaining her own credentials as an NRA Instructor certified in Rifle, Shotgun, and the "Refuse To Be a Victim" defensive program. In 2014, the NRA appointed Lynn as their 1,754th Training Counselor.
Their approach differs fundamentally from typical indoor ranges. Instead of loud, intimidating environments, they emphasize one-on-one coaching in quiet, scenic outdoor locations. Instruction is tailored minute-by-minute to your group's skill level—some shooters prefer 10 guns, others work through 20+. This isn't a one-size-fits-all class.

Lynn Sherwood founded High Caliber Women, recognized as one of the Top 3 women's shooting organizations in the US. This specialization runs deep in the organization.
Since 2010, their standard protocol involves coaches maintaining close proximity (within 24 inches) to physically redirect any unsafe gun handling instantly. This hands-on approach is their security model. They adapted during COVID by offering spacing options while emphasizing that responsible, calm behavior from participants is essential.

Book in advance—sessions fill quickly, especially during peak tourist season from June through September.
What to bring: Comfortable weather-appropriate clothing, face covering, hat, and sunglasses. They provide everything else—firearms, ammunition, protective gear, targets, bottled water, range setup and cleanup.
Their marketing consistently emphasizes the difference between their outdoor Rocky Mountain setting and typical indoor ranges. One testimonial mentions a woman whose previous indoor range experience was loud and intimidating without personal guidance. After shooting with Jackson Hole, she became an advocate. This transformation—from intimidated to confident—is their stated mission.
Operating year-round in Teton County near Yellowstone National Park, they position shooting as an authentic Wyoming activity alongside hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor tourism. The location matters: breathtaking Tetons scenery, connection to frontier history, and outdoor tranquility rather than industrial range atmosphere.
