Rental Ranges

A rental range lets you shoot guns you do not own, from the pistol you are thinking about buying to a full-auto rifle in Las Vegas. Renting before you buy is one of the smartest moves a new shooter can make, and the tours have covered rental counters coast to coast.

How renting works

  • Bring a government photo ID; most ranges also ask for a signed waiver.
  • Each range sets its own minimum ages for handgun and rifle rentals, and many require an adult with younger shooters, so call ahead.
  • Most rental ranges require you to buy ammunition from the range for rental guns.
  • Many ranges will not rent to a shooter who arrives alone for the first time without a quick safety briefing; take it, it is worth it.
  • Machine gun rentals are legal where the range owns registered guns; the gun never leaves the range, and staff stay with you on the line.
  • Try the gun you plan to buy, then compare notes with the counter at a gun shop near you.
