That went to shit. I went there a few years ago when it wasn't awful but it's pointless to go there nowThere is the Caswell County Game Land public shooting range up near Yanceyville, NC, but I doubt that's much better for you. Hate to say it but I doubt there's much public land of any sort that isn't a populated park in the Cary/RTP area.
LOL! Yeah.This is NC not Arizona
what happened to it? I pass by it all the time heading to my hunting land but never stopped in to shoot there.That went to shit. I went there a few years ago when it wasn't awful but it's pointless to go there now

It isn't bad. I was there today checking a zero on a rifle and doing some handgun practice. They have 2 range officers there at all times now, you have to watch a 7 minute video to get a range card, sign a waiver on a tablet when you go, and just have controlled fire. There was a third guy there, either training or just new to the rotation in the future, but he was just sweeping up brass. They have target stands and staple guns for everyone to use. I refuse to join any range that requires me to join the NRA and this allows me to do that. My tax dollars are paying for it anyways.what happened to it?

Is there an age requirement? My niece (16) wants to go shooting and i was thinking of taking her there.It isn't bad. I was there today checking a zero on a rifle and doing some handgun practice.

I just looked at the rules. 12 and under require 1 on 1 adult supervision, and 13-17 require an adult, but you can have 1 adult for multiple kids in that age range. Make sure everyone has eye and ear protection and closed toe shoes. If you want to have cheap targets they have a printable target on the website as well.Is there an age requirement?

You're very welcome. A lot of people dog it, but I am thankful that at least some tax dollars go to services like this. I know some people hate range officers, but it definitely makes my wife more comfortable. I'm sure it does for a lot of people. That makes me happy as it helps the shooting world attract new people. One of the range officers has spotted for me two different times when I was there while it was slow.Thanks a bunch ChickenHawk!
I forgot about this one, thanks. I'll check them out. Yes I just want to zero my optics mainly.The wake county firearms education and training center isn't far from there and it's free.
They are strict enough that it's not that much fun but it is a pretty awesome facility. Great place to go if you need to zero something. They have a 100 yard range indoor.
Oh that's useful, though way incomplete. For example, it doesn't list 37 PSR in Lillington. Thanks!
The NCWRC ranges are free to the public. The interactive map of other ranges has not been updated in years. There are very few options in the Triangle area open to the public and most of those charge exhorbitant fees.Oh that's useful, though way incomplete.

Where would that be?Well, I can tell you where NOT to go....
This. Best option in the area, if not the nation. I only wish I lived closer.It's worth the trip, open weekends only to the public. Yearly memberships available and not expensive for what Paul offers.
I'm a full member, also 1,000yd range for members only.
