Located just outside Blacksburg, this site offers a rifle and pistol range as well as a shotgun and archery range. The rifle and pistol range is designed for firing at stationary paper targets up to 100 meters away. The lanes are sheltered from the sun and each one has a shooting bench that accommodates left and right-handed shooters. Shooters must bring their own targets; cardboard boxes or commercial paper targets work well. The shotgun range is designed for shooting clay targets, which must be provided by shooters. Archery is also permitted at the shotgun range.

Getting there

From Blacksburg, VA at Jct of North Main and US 460: Follow US 460 west for 3 miles. Turn right on SR 621 (Craig Creek Road). Travel about 1/4 mile and turn left at the sign for the shooting range.
