FOP Range Inc.

Happy Birthday to us!!

27 years ago, I created the FOP Range Inc and opened the facility to civilians to use.  What started out as a fun hobby in the 80's as a competitive shooter snowballed into what is the coolest place to shoot in the area.  No other commercial range has the amenities we have put together and maintain for our member's use.  We have been through really tough times, including our present situation but as a debt free business, are in a good position to weather bad stuff such as this pandemic.  Ammo is still costs more than it should.  Finding ammo to keep shooters here fed is a challenge. Yep. Its been a lousy time to run a commercial range...  

​

But, we have a lot to celebrate. 

We live in the greatest country on earth.  We are able to have business that provides what is essentially a playground for adults with guns.  We provide smiles, warm guns, ringing steel and holey targets.  Good times are dispensed here.  We are able to keep it running with very little coming in.  We are the blue collar range.  We are the affordable range.  Time flies when you are having fun and running this range for the last two and a half decades has been a joy.   

​

We are serious about safety.

Every member of the facility gets a range safety orientation before getting access to the ranges.  A Range Officer takes a few minutes to explain the range safety rules, how to use the range, what not to do here, what will get your day ended early.  It makes this range a safe place for you to enjoy your firearms and for range staff to work.  Here are the First Trip to the Range,  Range Safety Rules and Range Safety Orientation info pages.  The do's and don'ts are broken down and briefly explained.

​

Church Security Team Training Range Use

Our training range is available for use by Church Security Teams needing a place to train.  Corporate Membership Deals are available to make using the facility and providing your team members with a place to practice or bring their family and friends out for a day of shooting very cost effective.  See the Church Security Group and Corporate Membership page for more info.

​

Ever heard of the Chicken Challenge???

Think you are a good shot?  Prove it!  The Chicken Challenge is a shooting challenge members can take on at any time using the steel ranges.  See the Chicken Challenge page here for info on how to play the game... Check details out here...  Chicken Challenge page.

​

Man-On-Man Competition
The most fun anyone can have shooting with buddies is an informal competition.  Both our Steel Range and Rimfire Range have plate racks positioned and setup for this purpose.  There are 2 falling steel plate racks with a pair of cross-over poppers between them on the 10 yard area of the Steel Range and the Rimfire Range has a 12 6" target falling steel plate rack at 10 yards and one with 12 3" plates at 25 yards for rimfire rifle use.  To play, both shooters assume the same starting position and on a start signal, both knock down all the plates then engage the cross-over target and the cross-over target on the bottom wins.  See our competition events page for more info.

​

Got a new gun?
Then you are going to need a good place to try it out, see how it shoots, make sure it works, and just get them warm and grow a smile.  Recreationally shooting the guns you have is a ton of fun.  No gun deserves to spend its life sitting on a shelf, or just hanging on a wall.  Never just load it up and trust that its going to work right.  Verify reliability before relying on it for protection.  Make sure it will run with the ammo you want to use.  Get intimately familiar with it.  This is where we come in....  

Trial Membership gets you on our Main Range to make sure everything works, get that rifle and scope dialed in, poke some holes in paper or clank on some steel and grow a smile.  See Trial Membership info for details.  The Trial Membership is only $15, lasts 30 days and has a $10 per day range use fee with access to the facility's Main Range.   If you decide you could use the whole facility, to include the Steel Plate Range, the 22 Steel Plate Range, Paper Pistol Ranges, or the Member's Rifle Range, annual membership is inexpensive and there are a dozen different plans to choose from, half of those are monthly payment to further make your shooting more affordable.

 

Monthly Payment Memberships Now Available!!

Years ago, we tried membership plans with monthly billing but it was really tough to administer.  We sat in front of the credit card terminal for hours manually punching in the numbers then spent days pursuing those who did not have $11 in their account at the time it was due for payment.  Now, the process has been automated and we are going to make another go at it. The pandemic has affected most of our budgets and coming up with the whole amount for an annual membership payment has become cost prohibitive for many.  Our monthly membership payment system is the answer.  Remember, we are the blue collar / affordable range in town.

​

Monthly memberships start at only $11 a month and the most expensive is only $25 a month.  Joining is now done through our web site using the Join Here page.  Follow up your checking out with a call to the range to schedule your Range Safety Orientation with a Range Officer, conducted over the phone at a non-peak time, and takes just a few minutes for him to go over the do's and don'ts, how it all works, and answers all your questions.  Its super easy and can have you in and shooting quickly.
