I'm looking for a shooting range in Randolph county. On the DNR site it looks like Kumbrabow State Forest and Stonewall Jackson Lake (Lewis county) might be the closest. Both are are probably a 45 minute or longer drive though. I wonder if the range at the Issac Walton League by Beverly is still open? No idea how much a membership costs or if it's necessary to attend meetings. Do you know of another other ranges nearby?

It looks like the IWLA membership is $75 for first time members. Not sure if it's worth it no more than I will be shooting this gun. For now I just want to get it sighted in and make sure everything works since it's my first.

I assume Kumbrabow is a public range since it's a state forest. I've been to the IWL range at least two times many moons ago but I went with members but don't know anyone now.

I was also up at the quarry this spring taking pictures. Casings were all over the ground. Good to know that someone has leased it though. It will save us from getting into trouble.

Stonewall isn't bad. 300y, though only flat out to about 200y.  They used to have some target frames made out of old well casing.  Of course, thanks to people not caring about the place, they had to be removed as they had been shot to hell.

A salesman over at McFly's had claimed a few customers had complained of small stuff (binos, rangefinder, etc) getting stolen there, but I've never seen or heard of it from anyone else.

If you're ok going a little further, White Horse is excellent. They have a free range that's 100y and it's well cared for, but they have specific hours. I think noon to 5pm in the fall/winter. Haven't been a member there in a few years. $60/yr gets you access to the 600y range, with 1000y days a few times per month, though that sounds like more than you're looking for.

The quarry is also about a 20 min. drive for me. I've only be up at the top looking down and not in the quarry itself though.


Thanks for the info on Stonewall. I really hope where ever I end up has target frames since that's something I don't own or even have the room for.

Didn't know about White Horse. It looks like a really nice place and about a 45 min. drive which about the same for Stonewall and Kumbrabow.

I am in Chenoweth Creek and as others have mentioned, there are not many options in this area. My recommendation would be White Horse.
