Shooting Bays
Bay 1 is restricted to .22 rifle and airguns, and provides steel targets specifically designed for rimfire. The steel in bays must never be engaged at distances less than 10 yards.
50 yard bays intended for for handguns, Pistol-Caliber Carbines (PCC)s and shotguns. They provide centerfire pistol caliber-rated steel targets. The steel in bays must never be engaged at distances less than 10 yards.
100 yard bays intended for centerfire rifle use, though handguns and Pistol-Caliber Carbines (PCC)s may be used. They provide rifle-rated steel targets out to 100+ yards. This steel must never be engaged at distances less than 100 yards for standard rifle cartridges, or 200 yards (Bay 7) for magnum (over 3000FPS) velocity cartridges.
The steel targets above bays 5 and 6 have been photographed and ranged. Four different rangefinders were used to range and verify each target to insure accuracy. A printable PDF of the target map is available here. While the map was imaged from Bay 7, the targets were ranged from each of the three bays. As noted on the list, several targets are visible only from Bay 7. The targets labelled A and B correspond to the pair of targets at the end of each of these bays. In addition to the Line of Sight (LOS) range, the angle is also given, and the true range (Angle Modified Range) has been calculated and is shown on the chart.
200 yard bay intended for centerfire rifle, though handguns and Pistol-Caliber Carbines (PCC)s may be used. It provides rifle-rated steel targets out to 200+ yards. This steel must never be engaged at distances less than 100 yards for standard rifle cartridges, or 200 yards (Bay 7) for magnum (over 3000FPS) velocity cartridges. The steel targets above bays 7 have been photographed and ranged. Four different rangefinders were used to range and verify each target to insure accuracy. A printable PDF of the target map is available here.

LabRadar Chronographs
LabRadar Chronographs are available, including the services of a trained RSO, to the public for use in measuring the velocities of rifle and pistol loads. The unit is set up on the bench next to the firearm, and is not ahead of the muzzle or the firing line. This means that it is not necessary to clear the line to set it up, and there is no danger of putting a round through it, like a conventional optical chronograph. On Bays 2 through 7, the chronograph service costs $20 per hour, and includes an operator. Contact the range office at (970)464-1339 for more information, or to make a reservation for a chronograph session.
