State-of-the-Art Indoor Shooting Range
Frogbones Family Shooting Center features an impressive 18-lane indoor range, meticulously designed for various types of firearms and shooting preferences. Our facility includes:
- 12 Pistol Lanes (15 yards): Perfect for handgun enthusiasts and those looking to hone their pistol accuracy. These lanes provide an ideal distance for practicing with pistols of all calibers.
- 6 Rifle/Tactical Lanes (25 yards): Catered to rifle shooters, shotgun users, and tactical firearm enthusiasts, including AR-15 style rifles. These longer lanes accommodate a wider range of firearms and shooting styles.
Our commitment to a superior shooting experience extends beyond just the lanes. Frogbones Family Shooting Center incorporates advanced technology and thoughtful design throughout our facility.
Committed to Safety and Environmental Responsibility
At Frogbones, safety and environmental consciousness are paramount. We understand the importance of responsible shooting practices and have implemented several key features to protect our shooters and the environment:
- Brass Recycling System: We are dedicated to minimizing waste. Our range is equipped with shell casing capturing troughs, allowing us to efficiently collect and recycle brass casings.
- Lead Recycling Program: Even the lead we collect from our range is melted down and recycled, further reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices within the shooting sports community.
- Advanced Air Filtration: We prioritize the health and well-being of our customers. Recognizing the potential hazards of airborne lead particles, Frogbones has installed a state-of-the-art air filtration system. This system effectively directs lead dust away from shooters, ensuring cleaner and safer air quality within the range.
- Lead Dust Prevention Measures: To further minimize any risk of lead exposure, we provide special lead-removing soap in our restrooms. We encourage all shooters to wash their hands thoroughly after each shooting session to remove any potential lead residue.
- Sticky Mat Exit System: As a final precaution to prevent the tracking of lead dust outside the range, we have installed sticky mats at the exit. These mats effectively remove any dust particles from shoes, preventing the transfer of lead dust to your vehicles and homes. We replace these mats daily to maintain their effectiveness.
A Family Shooting Center for Everyone
Frogbones Family Shooting Center lives up to its name by creating a welcoming atmosphere for families and individuals of all experience levels. If you’re new to shooting or want to introduce your family to the sport in a secure environment, Frogbones is the perfect place.
We offer a designated viewing area, separated by bulletproof glass, where beginners and family members can comfortably observe the shooting activities.
