Open To The Public
We are open to public year-round, except Mondays (No one wants to get up and work on a Monday, so we all stay home).
You do not have to reserve a bay, the bays are “first come first served.” When you arrive at USSA you will check-in to the main lobby with a driver’s license or valid form of identification. Based on the weapons you brought to shoot, we will assign a bay that best accommodates your specific needs. Below is a list of everything you will need to bring, however if you do not have or managed to forget some of the listed items we do sell, targets, rental staple guns, ear protection, eye protection, and ammo.

Private Bays vs. Public Bays
Private Bays:
Private bays make for the perfect family outing. They allow for more privacy than the shared locations, only you and your family are allowed on the bay once occupied. You can use any yardage located within the bay, freedom of movement, drawing from holster, and more.
During the weekend they do have a 2-hour time limit, but during the week there is no time limits.
Public Bays:
Public areas are shared amongst other shooters. There is no RSO or timed buzzer that controls the line, it is done between the shooters on the line. They are one fixed yardage with no other increments in-between. For the shared rifle bays, benches are provided for you can rest at.
There is no time limit during the week or weekend.
Paper vs. Steel
Paper Bays:
There are target backers provided on each of the paper bays. You can bring your own targets, but no unauthorized steel plates or targets allowed. Paper allows you to really see who’s the better shot in your group and can making sight-in your rifles much easier.
There is no upcharge for using a paper area.
Steel Bays:
There is something gratifying about shooting steel plates and hearing them ring. The steel plates are pre-arranged within the bay and have designated shooting positions to ensure your maintaining a safe shooting distance. You can bring your own paint to paint the targets, WHITE ONLY.
There is an additional $10.00 upcharge per person to shoot steel.
