Yes, Children 12 to 18 years old are welcome to shoot rifles with a parent or legally assigned guardian over the age of 21. Children 16 to 20 years old can shoot pistols with a parent provided that the pistol owner is properly licensed, and a NRA certified instructor is present, available and able to supervise the minor. For NRA Instructors’ availability please contact the range (914) 667-8236 prior to your Visit.

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the facility.

Yes, we have a dress code. Shooters need to wear closed-toed footwear and shirts that aren’t low cut to avoid getting burned by spent shell casings. Pants must be worn around waist.

Yes, all you need is a valid government issued photo ID in order to use our range (passport, ID card, driver’s license, etc.). The ID must not be expired and the physical ID present (not a copy).

Anyone with a state or government issued photo ID (License, Passport, etc.) that is physically present and not expired can rent rifles or shotguns. Unfortunately under NYS and Federal law, anyone with a felony that does not have a certificate of release/expungement, or sealment; may not handle any firearm.

While it is recommended, you do not need prior instruction in order to shoot at our range. In order to shoot a PISTOL in NY you do have to have a NY PERMIT. We do require that you take a short safety briefing, go through a vetting process, and fill out a waiver before using our facilities. We also offer private instruction and a wide variety of classes for everyone from first time to veteran shooters.
