Shiocton
Outdoor range out to 500 yards. $5 a head at the self pay station. Really nice since it's been rebuilt. Some people complain about the local cops playing range safety officer. I've never had a problem nor seen them bother anyone else. |

Welcome!
If you have never experienced the north woods of WI feel free to take a scenic drive over to my neck of the woods. From Wausau on 29 you will see vast farmland & gentle rolling hills. Once you hit 53N you will see a lot of dense forests. Make your way over to St. Croix Falls State Park where you will see the remnants of the glacial flow that cut the St. Croix river valley. Then take 35N heading to Superior & you will go through beautiful Polk & Burnett County. The latter being a county with only 2 stoplights (Polk May have 1 or 2, not sure). You will pass over the Yellow River several times, go past Patterson State Park, which is the highest waterfall in WI, up to the beautiful scenery that is Lake Superior. The return trip any direction you go is equally as beautiful. |

About 40 minutes south of you is Midwestern Shooters supply. They have a nice inside pistol range. Take I 41 south get off at Lomira, Hwy 67 go east over the Freeway bridge look to the southeast and you will see the place.

welcome!
I live just outside of Oshkosh towards Omro. There’s a couple places Nearby for outdoor ranges, one is van Dyne and another is Springbrook Sportsmans club. I personally would recommend Springbrook, mainly because you get the key to the gate and can shoot anytime you want and most likely be the only one there, and I prefer this (I think membership is $35 and it is only 5 miles from Oshkosh or so). The downside is it is only 100 yards for rifles but there is also a pistol range. I think van Dyne is 200 yards Max. As someone has said Shiocton is also a great range to go to for distance I think the max is 560 or so., But I think it’s about a 40 minute trip from Oshkosh. Another favorite of mine is Waushara county gun range, it is free and max is 200 yards but they have berms in between the different shooting lanes and they setit up very nice. others can tell you about indoor ranges because that’s not my thing

Quoted:
Retired here from Texas last April (yes, I know that's bass-ackwards), but my wife is from here and has family here. We've never lived close to her family in 42 years of marriage. We live in Oshkosh and are enjoying the slower pace here when compared to the DFW area. Every time I'm in "rush hour" here, I just smile. What I would like to know is where I can find both an indoor and outdoor rifle range. In Frisco we had a range with a 100 yd indoor rifle range, which was very nice. (Unless the Fudds whacked all of the mechanisms in all four lanes siting in their deer rifles.) I prefer shooting outdoors, but obviously it may have to warm up slightly to make that feasible. Any help would be appreciated! I've been looking and found Van Dyne Sportsmens Club. Good, bad, okay? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A FFL I used told me about Ripon gun club and he said it's way more oriented around "tactical" type shooting. A buddy and I intend to check it out this spring The downside of them is they continually have things going on and it’s hard to find an open time to shoot. It seems like every weekend they have A tournament. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like ripon and belong there for a few years, They got a good area to shoot pistol and you can shoot I think 600 yards If you close down the road. The downside of them is they continually have things going on and it's hard to find an open time to shoot. It seems like every weekend they have A tournament. |

If you want a great indoor range, take a 25 minute drive up 41 to Little Chute and check out Trigger Action Sports. Best indoor range I've ever been to. Great staff, great facility, great rules (i.e. pretty flexible but safe). It is only a 100' indoor, but is rated for pistol and rifle.
Welcome! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
He mentioned that. I was told there was actually 2 ranges, the old and the new one. He said the old one is usually always open. You'd know better than me I guess though. I've always had access to a private range up until recently so I'm still trying to figure out where to go. The newer pistol range is pretty fun because they have it set up where are you shoot behind walls, And other little set ups. There is probably about 10 different outdoor bays that are fenced in by concrete block |

I just open the kitchen window. Kind of a indoor outdoor setup. Hopefully you bought a place with enough land to do the same????

Another buddy of mine always raves about The Firing Line in Appleton. I've never been but he seems to like it. |

Thanks for the welcome and all the info everyone. It is greatly appreciated! It's good to know there are quite a few options, even up north! Thanks for the invites.
I've been shooting at Fireline in Appleton which seems okay. I look forward to trying a few more places. When it's warmer, I would like to try some 200 yd and 300 yd shooting. When I was young, and in basic training, I could knock down torsos at 300 yds all day long. Now I need optics to hit that far!

FYI, Oshkosh is a nice city to live in but in the summer the south end of town gets a tad congested. like around the airshow.

Indoor shooting you can’t beat trigger in little chute. Handgun or rifle up to 50bmg I’m told lol.
But brand new, clean, friendly, allow holster work etc. the store area is also very nice but not Too big of a selection. Lomira has the older indoor range that’s not bad but if trigger is same distance I’d go there. If your a member you get 24hr access. Nice for off shift workers. Outdoor for sure ripon! But I agree there is something every weekend basically. I go for idpa uspsa and they have 3 gun and cowboy action too. |
