We will be moving to Kansas shortly and wanted to know where are some locations to do some rifle shooting? Thank you for any assistance and info.

There are quite a few ranges in the KC area depending on how far you want to shoot.

Down south I help run the Bone Creek Gun Club which is 15 miles north of Pittsburg, KS just off Hwy 69.  Our rifle range just goes to 200 yards but we're fairly small and not too busy.  I'm doing an Appleseed there this weekend and we have USPSA matches every month.

Fort Scott, KS has a state run range that might go to 75 or 100 yards but it's only open when a range officer is there which is intermittent.

@Sylvan

Mill Creek Rifle Club in De Soto is the closest range (I think) and best.  There's a small outdoor pistol range on base or at least there was 10 years ago.

There'll be an Appleseed taught at Mill Creek in mid-May where you can see the club and meet lots of members who could give you a recommendation (which is needed to join).

The also do High Power and Bench Rest competitions plus USPSA.

Mill creek is really the only option.

I'm at Leavenworth, I work on post. Hit me up when you get here, I might live out in the country and have property.

Best bet is to make friends with someone that owns land.

Other than that, Pigeon Hill in St Joseph, MO goes out to 100 yards.

Anywhere in the general KC area that goes out to 1200ish?

Great Plains Precision Rifle Range in Ottawa is having a long range competition Dec 6 & 7 that will go out to 2000 yards Sunday Dec 7th.

That may be an exceptional distance.  Their website mentions a 1300 yard berm.

Here's their Facebook page.

They're too far away for me to join but I'll do some of their competitions in 2020.

$400 a year to join.
