Pala Reservation Range

Best outdoor range around. Wish it was open to the public more often, but when it’s open, longest distance of 897 yards is awesome.

I have been to this range twice now and had great experiences both times. I used the rifle range, there are lots of steel targets to shoot at and you can put paper up at 50 and 100 yards. They have other ranges for pistol and rimfire but I personally haven’t got to use them yet. I went on Monday which is there open shooting day. Everyone there was very friendly and eager to help out if you have any questions. I will definitely be coming back to shoot here again,

great long range steel range… the physical range itself gets 5 stars… the staff gets 1. the range staff is a bunch of crusty old men who act like you don’t know anything. They didn’t like the flag I placed in my bolt when the cease fire was called and one of the guys came over grabbed my gun and started walking it to where they were all jaw jacking. I chased after him and took my gun back… damn near a grand theft. these guys will grab your gun without your permission.

I have been shooting at this range for quite some time and I enjoy the facility. Every type of shooting that you want to do can be found here. Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol. They have Long Range (out to @900 yds), IPSC, IDPA, and tons of other different types of matches. Lots of steel to shoot so you don’t have to fumble with paper targets if you don’t want to. Range personnel are not Nazies either. I hate Range Nazies!
A membership is not required to shoot here, but it will open the range up to you more. They only have rec shooting days sometimes on the weekend for a few hours. If you are a member there are days during the week when you can shoot. You don’t have to be a member of the range to participate in any of the matches held here though.
I like being able to go to the range and shoot ALL my guns. Sure, I can take my rifles to other places, but I can only shoot them to 25 yds. Where is the sense in that? I am a competitive shooter, so I like the fact that I can do some drills and such on the range, not just stand there and shoot at a piece of paper.
The only thing at the range is a port-​o-​potty, so bring plenty of food and drink when you go.
Some friendly advice: I see a lot of people show up to the range for the first time with their gun already on their hip and loaded. Save yourself the embarrassment and upon arrival to the range for the first time leave your stuff in the car and talk to the range officer on site. They will get you set up and explain to you how the range works.

Expensive.

Very nice facility, nice people, a bit expensive for a first visit ($ 80) but not bad after that ($ 15)
Bring eyes, ears, and a target. Past yards 200 its all steel, nice swinging plates at 675.
