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.

They hate me at Home Depot. This pile of lumber took 3 hours to pull and an hour to load.

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.

Got 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.
