About airgun ranges and shooting facilities

I wanted to share some thoughts about dedicated airgun ranges and shooting facilities. For many of us, having a proper place to practice, test ballistics, and simply enjoy shooting in comfortable conditions is just as important as the equipment itself.

A good airgun range should accommodate the unique needs of our sport. This includes appropriate distances for different calibers, options for both rested and offhand shooting, clear target marking for zeroing, and safe areas for testing high-powered models.

Unfortunately, not every city has facilities designed specifically for airguns. But if you're lucky enough to have access to a professional airgun range, it's a great opportunity to hone your skills.

One notable example worth checking out is the Gritr Range, which offers excellent conditions for airgun shooting.

Where does everyone else practice? I'd love to hear recommendations for good airgun ranges in different areas.
 
The Izaak Walton League in Damascus Maryland has a dedicated out door Air Gun range, with markers and boards for paper targets set out at 10 yard intervals from 10-55 yards. Fire arms are not allowed on this range, so it's quiet. The range also has sets of spinners at 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 yards with paddle sizes appropriate for FT practice. For longer distances members can shoot on the rifle range, which has targets at 50, 80 and 100 yards. The ranges are not open to the public, only to members and up to 2 guests.

In addition we have a dedicated 12 lane Field Target course that is used for AAFTA matches.
