I've been going to Parma a couple times a month for the last five years and for me the only real drawbacks are the 100 yard maximum and no rapid fire. I do like that it's clean and safe and inexpensive. I exclusively shoot NFA items (SBR's and silencers) and haven't been given any grief yet. If I want to shoot fast I go farther north to River Breaks which is MDC owned but unmanned. Only 100 yards there too though. 
Are there any private ranges in the KCMO area with greater than 100 yard distances? I would love to join something like that if possible. Millcreek is out in Desoto, KS and it goes out to 500 if i remember correctly. |

I was a member of a private range in Rolla. That was nice.
Does anyone know of a private range or club anywhere near Washington? I mostly want to shoot handguns, but a 100 yard place where I could do some rifle drills would be nice, too. |

Thank you all for the information. Looks like there are a few nice options that I wasn't aware of.

I wish Benchrest was more open to the public/ guests; it's the only range around STL longer than 100 yds. My NFA dealer is a member there so I guess I could ask him to sponsor me.
Does the world shooting complex in Sparta have any rifle facilities or is it all skeet? |

The complex has the main trap and skeet range, two sporting clay ranges, and a couple of pistol and rifle ranges that I have never used. When I go over to the Grand American I try to shoot one or two rounds of Sporting Clays before I come home. https://www.dnr.illinois.gov/recreation/wsrc/Pages/default.aspx I have offered to take members of this site to Benchrest numerous times and only had one take me up. So I stopped making the offer. |

While I don't like it I can at least understand why they would do this. Have you ever been to a dept. of conservation range? There are some "interesting" characters there at times. The few times I have been to one I found myself asking, How do these people remember to breath, let along shoot a firearm safely? Sometimes it was worth the extra drive to the range off I-70 in Williamsburg. |

Thankfully, I've not shot at any the Public/Govt ranges in over 10 years...
Before I moved down here I was a member of both ARPC and 67 Gun Club. ARPC is a great club just further than I want/need to drive too shoot and much more expensive. 67 Gun club is pretty close to home. Much smaller, but much cheaper. I can still shoot Pistol, Shot Gun or Rifle. Rifle goes out too 300. Full Auto, SBRs, Cans, all OK as long as your not being an Idiot or unsafe. Really their only dumb rule is you can't shoot Pistol Caliber Rifles on the Pistol range. EX, My Scorpion Evo, 9MM. One can shoot it on the Pistol range all day (suppressed or not) as a Pistol. Put the But stock on it and it magically becomes a Rifle. I think its for the old guys who can't keep up on all the different HW and makes it easier to identify. |

I've run into the same thing at Pioneer. I've been turned in a couple times for shooting my Scorpion on the pistol range. If the person would have just approached, I would have shown them I was shooting slow 9mm suppressed, and probably let them shoot a mag through it. LOL. I remember a guy who shot a .308 rifle at their indoor range. But he was shooting those 10gn blue plastic bullets with less knockdown power than a .22lr. |

I've always held the belief that my subguns are full auto and thus specifically considered under Title II to be machineguns and as such they are certainly not pistol caliber carbines. Thus said they aren't specifically prohibited on the pistol range. I've never caught any grief over it. Always remember that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission. Because you mentioned Full Auto, Ironically, they do not care if you shoot full auto over there as long as it doesn't have a stock on it... |
