NEW SHOOTERS

A great range begins here!

At Select Fire Training Center, we LOVE new shooters!

We know that trying out shooting for the first time (or if you haven’t done it in a long time) can make some folks nervous, but we want to make it safe and stress-free for you.

Whether your goal is to learn to shoot for self-defense, or just want to have some fun for a night and try something different, we want to make your new experience with shooting a good one. We have eye and ear protection available, and a wide range of rental guns and ammunition, so you don’t have to worry about a thing (of course, you can bring your own if you have it).

Our staff will be happy to explain everything you need to know, from safety and rules, to gun operation and marksmanship tips. You can even sign up for individual or group classes if you like.

RANGE INFO

Select Fire Training Center prides ourselves on being a safe and clean shooting range.

All 10 of our booths and lanes are monitored by cameras and we usually have a certified Range Safety Officer on duty to oversee the range as well.

We offer 4 rifle-capable lanes that accommodate up to 7.62x39mm ammunition, with the requirement that .223 and 7.62×39 ammo be purchased from us.

We utilize a state-of-the-art bullet trap system that captures bullets in containers, making our range eco-friendly and reducing lead exposure for both customers and employees.

While there’s no limit to the number of people assigned to a booth, only two shooters are allowed in a booth at a time. For further Range Safety Rules, please click here.
