[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Calverton Shooting Range

Hello All,

Been shooting at Calverton here and there over the years. Now, my kids are at an age where they can shoot (have already started them shooting at properties upstate). Is there an minimum age for shooting at Calverton and are there any other requirements for kids 7-11 to shoot?

Thanks in Advance.

Give them a call. I have seen kids there before, but not sure what age they can shoot. I would call before you go and make sure. If they can shoot at that age, I would think they are probably limited to 22LR rifles.

It's the wild west, but remember, people do live there...

Thanks guys. Good point. 22LR would be fine. I have a couple. Plus, they are itching to shoot their Henry Youth lever action!

I brought my son there first when he was 8. Hovering over him of course....But was teaching gun safety awhile before that. Started with air soft, BB guns ,just to practice handling /safety. He's now almost 12 but looks 15 and will be going there several times over the summer,

I think a lot of depends on the kid regardless of age. The owner has no prob taking the $15 each from both of us.

I believe the legal age to shoot is 12 years old. That said I have never seen the RO's say anything about taking your kids to the range as long as they are properly supervised.

They have a crickett .22 they rent out for teaching children on. I don't know if they require an instructor also. But they are friendly towards teaching the youth how to shoot.

Harry's young son has shot some .22's of mine years ago.
I don't think t will be a problem as long as they are supervised.

Spent all day there today with the boy (Monday ) if you can I'd recommend a weekday......we had a great time, plenty of room.
