This range is in St. Louis County, and I need somewhere to shoot in St. Louis County. While I was browsing through the MO Ranges thread this range popped up and I was very interested. Any info would be great, thanks. Bullseye Indoor Shooting Range, 5100 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110. 314-781-4867 Does anyone have anymore information on this range? My questions, if you could answer would be awesome. -Website? -Cost to shoot? -What you can rent (original poster said you can) -How much to rent? -Hours? -Silouhettes (sp?) ? -I think the ranges are 25 yards for both pistol and rifle Thank you, any info would be greatly appreciated. |

I've been there once and don't think I will ever go back. They seemed to be a bit snooty to me even if they are the only range in the city. If you want to go shooting just ask anyone here if they will take you to any of their pet ranges. Heck, if you don't mind driving all the way to Arnold I would be happy to take you out the Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club. Let me know. BTW, there is another nice indoor range down here, High Caliber or Top Gun or something like that. Right off of 55 almost to Barnhart. |
A bit snoody? Can you explain? Also, I'm only 17 still living with my parents so going to a member's range probably wouldn't work. The thing that most interested me in Bullseye range is the location, and you can rent (I don't have many guns). Can you answer any of my questions? Thanks Gary |

I've never been there but my partner apparently goes there fairly often. She and her husband say it's a nice range, you can rent most handguns. I don't know anything about fees, etc. I prefer outdoor ranges, so I've never been there. Sorry I wasn't more help. Maybe you could call them and ask? |

I go to Bullseye fairly often. They treat me great but that might be because I bring machine guns. They don't have a website. It's $16 per day for the range, targets are 50 cents each. They have some Glocks, a full auto Uzi, and some other handguns. They are open until 8:30pm on most weekdays. CALL before you go anytime because they do lots of CCW classes and they take up the whole range. You can shoot any caliber .308 and smaller only at paper targets. The max range is 25-30 yards I think. All in all, it's a decent place. Most guys that work there are nice but there are a couple a-holes too. Don't let them bug you. Topgun in Arnold has a nice facility but they don't allow machine guns so I say screw 'em. |
Thanks for the info sir. Yeah I'm gonna call them tomorrow, tonight it was too late to call and its no big hurry, can't shoot this weekend anyway. |
Everything you said sounds great, BUT are they not open on weekends? OH NOES!?!?! |

You know, you almost sound like my teenage son. He likes to shoot, and is a hard working kid, but danged if it isn't almost impossible for him to do what has been suggested. In this case, many posters have told you what we know, and almost everyone said call and ask them. I'm SURE they can tell you what guns they have, the hours, the rates, etc. Come on now son, if you want to shoot step up and do a little work for yourself. I guarantee your dad will appreciate not having to waste his time doing what you could do yourself. Now go forth and have a good day.

Thanks, but yet again it is too late to call and I have school all day and can't call then. Other members have said they've been there but thats it, I was just supposing that they could give me a little bit of info considering they've been there. Don't call me son, you are not my father. |
| What about Jay Henges right by the Antire Hill? It's still in STL County, but the extreme edge of it. It's pretty weak the few weeks before deer season(obviously) but after the yahoos are gone, it's okay. $3 an hour, everything but a gun and ammo included. I've been there before but I found a range here in Illinois that's just as far away but with more personal freedom. |
Yeah I've been there, but they are nazis when it comes to 3 seconds between each shot. |
