They let you shoot slugs at the 50 there?

Yes, slugs are allowed at the 50 yards lanes.

"50, 100 and 300 Yard rifle range. 10 benches and 1 prone bench at 50 yards, 21 benches and 1 prone bench at 100 yard, 4 benches at 300 yards. Rifles and shotguns may be used on the 50 and 100 yard positions, rifle only on 300."

Technically it's also allowed at the 100 yard lanes but I think it's stretching the limit of my skills level.

Good old Stitsville. Not the best in the country, but pretty damn high up there. I use to drive hours in and out just to have a good time there.

That and for a while, that was the only place I could find .303 in the hundreds for some reason. That was years ago, but my point stands regardless.

Great place 👍

I'm local-ish to the area so it's my default location.

They are one of the few places that don't require a membership to use their range. Hourly fee is steep but it's less commitment than an annual membership.

I'm not a professional or a hunter by any means, only go shoot every now and then to "air out" my (tiny) collection, Stitsville is the way to go.

Stittsville shooting range spotted (I might be wrong tho)

That's the 50yard range. I'd recognize those tables anywhere.

*Turkish gunsmiths have entered the chat

Spend $500, then spend another $500 fixing broken pieces with aftermarket benelli parts.

Still 1/3 the cost 😂
