Handgun Steel Plate Range
-
If you have never shot on reactive steel plate targets, you have missed out on the most entertaining way to enjoy your firearms.
-
Our Steel Range is the best place to enjoy your handguns. Steel targets are reactive. They fall, swing and ring loudly when you hit one giving you instant feedback.
-
All the plates that fall remotely reset so there is no reason to go forward of the firing line.
-
Our Handgun Steel Plate Range is the only one of its size and kind we are aware of.
-
All targets are made from a very hard steel called AR500. Its abrasion resistant and can't be hurt with standard handgun ammo. They just knock the paint off.
-
All standard handgun calibers with velocity under 1600 feet per second are permitted here.
-
Steel targets are safe to shoot when set up correctly and shot at a safe distance.
-
Each of the 20 shooting bays are nearly 8 feet wide, giving you and your group plenty of room to shoot together.
-
There are 162 plates on this range that get painted every morning so members have an awesome place to shoot at fresh plates.
-
Its another really good reason to become a member at the FOP Range in Pleasant Grove.
Take a look at the pictures below. A lot of work went into this monster of a range.

Getting startedWe started at about 5 am doing the final prep to the foundation for the slab. | Started pouring concreteThen the trucks showed up and things got really busy. |
Three loads were not enoughNeeded a little more to finish, had to wait for the last truck to get some more. | Slab's done |
Wood's hereThey hate me at Home Depot. This pile of lumber took 3 hours to pull and an hour to load. | Going upGot it going up. |
Its straight!Surprising to us, this thing ended up being square. Its straight. Amazing since we often have trouble cutting to boards and have them both be the same length. | Roof's on.Went with the good stuff, should last us a long time. |
Long way to the endThis thing is 150 feet from one end to another. | Seats and carpeted table topsGot plenty of room to set your stuff down or rest. All the table tops are 7 1/2 feet wide and covered with outdoor carpet. |
Too wide to fitThis thing is too big to fit on one picture... | Fits on an angled picIts looking good! |
Other half pictureHere is the left or north end of the cover on the Steel Range. | New platesI pulled all the steel from the facility and placed it here and put new plates on the racks. |
20 yard targetsThe left or south side has targets at 20 yards from the shooting area. | More platesI added several swinging gong plates under our racks. More is better. |
More is betterNew plates on our Action Target plate racks with swingers underneath. | More is even betterCan't have too many plates to shoot at. There are currently over 100 plates for centerfire handguns on the Steel Range with more coming. |
More new plates | 15 yard targetsThe middle of the Steel Range has the targets set up at 15 yards from the firing area. |
10 yard targetsThe right side of the Steel Range has targets set up at 10 yards. | All finished...All done except for sealing the wood. I'll get to it eventually. |
