Recommended Ranges in W. Michigan

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Recommended Ranges in W. Michigan

Posted: 9/30/2019 4:47:34 PM EDT

Looking for good ranges with friendly members. Hopefully those that don't have longtime members that are not welcoming to new members.
Any suggestions?

I don't belong to any range but silver bullet has always been super friendly to me all the years I have been there

I have been a member at Sparta hunting and fishing club for 5 years now. All around it's a decent club. Only complaint I have is the rifle bay is only 125 yards. Other than that it's great for $75/year. OP any interest in shooting action pistol? We have a match this Saturday. It's open to the public and good excuse to stop by and check the place out and meet some members. I'm happy to answer any questions about the place.

West Michigan is a large area

What city are you nearest?

South Kent Sportsman's Club.

It is really the only club with useable space. Or pay 20 dollars an hour for indoor.

When I moved to the Marne/Allendale area I tried so hard to find a house with enough land to build my own range. Instead I ended up on 3 acres with neighbors all around...

I’m not far from the west walker sportsman club but they only let you shoot rifles from a bench rest. No thanks.

I’ve been to south Kent sportsman’s and they have a nice set up, I just wish it wasn’t so far away.

I started working in Holland 6 months ago and I’m amazed there isn’t a range between where I live and holland that I can shoot my rifles at.

South Kent Looks to be perfect, but too far for me - You would think there would be more options around.

Again, you didn't state which part of W Michigan you are from ...

If you're in the SW region, PM me

Thanks for the help. Was wondering where exactly this is and what is allowed? Target ranges?

My friend was a member at the fenville gun club. Could shoot out to 400. Would show up and have the place to ourselves most days so we could run n gun.

I want to join South Kent, myself.

There is a open public outdoor DNR range by Hastings off Yankee Springs rd. But one of the reasons I want to join South Kent is I'm assuming since you're paying to be there, the idiot ratio will be lower. I have been flagged several times by idiots who nonchalantly point their gun back at the firing line without thinking.
