Shooting Range

[invasahata]

Any good walk up options at a nearby shooting range? I am in Fairport but hunt in the Southern Tier. My son will start his hunting journey this year so I want to be sure he is ready. Not sure we are good candidates for a membership as we just need to dial in before each hunting season.

There is On Target  Firearms on Basket Rd in Webster, or The Firing Pin in Bergen. Check their websites for info. for inexperienced shooters. Does he have any time under his belt or brand new to firearms? Will make a difference in what they will offer.

You'll have a hard time finding what your asking for. Bit the bullet and join a club. You may be surprised what other interests you'll gain.

I don't know much information on it, but I believe there is some private pheasant hunting club with a range (up to 600 or 1k yards I believe).  I think you need to make an appointment and pay, but from what I remember it was cheap, like $10/hr.  Pheasants on the flats.  Give em a call for more info.

Thanks! He is experienced with all implements via scouts etc. I have stayed busy searching for good options. Just not a ton out there that beats me driving the 75 minutes to our hunting spot to set up a target.

Brooks is probably our best bet if we go with a club. Thanks.

I would talk to a farmer to use his field to practice. After a while, conversations could lead to hunting permission.
