Shooting Ranges

Indoor lanes in the city, long-distance ranges in the desert, private clubs and public ranges run by state wildlife agencies: these are the ranges the Gun Show Loophole Tours have shot at and reviewed. Use the map to find one on your route, then check the first-visit list before you go.

100 reviewed stops: 96 ranges and 4 museums on the map.

A new stop is featured every Monday.

First visit to a range

  • Bring eye and ear protection, or plan to rent it at the counter.
  • Expect to show ID and sign a waiver, and read the posted range rules before you uncase a gun.
  • Keep guns unloaded and cased until you are on the firing line, and follow every range officer command, especially cease fire.
  • Ask about ammunition rules; many indoor ranges ban steel-core or steel-case ammo and some sell only their own.
  • Treat every gun as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed downrange and your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  • Read Gun Shop Etiquette too; the same courtesy applies at the range counter.
