Reservations and Information

No fees are required. Ammunition, firearms, or targets are not provided.
Reservation time slots are 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM. Reservations will be honored for no more than 10 minutes into the time slot. Walk-in shooters may be accommodated as space becomes available.
Reservation requests can only be made one week in advance by calling the Range Reservation line at (860) 424-3737 or by sending an email to [email protected].

You must provide your full name, daytime contact information, the specific day and range time period and the total number of shooters in the group. All requests will be confirmed by a call back or e-mail from staff. Requests with incomplete information will not be accepted.
