    I have heard twice now that the AP Sheriff's facility over by the Lamar Dixon has a 300 yard rifle range and is open to the public on Thursday's from 2:00pm - 6:00pm? Is this legit? Any special rules, regulations, etc., for going to shoot a rifle out there?

    Any info in much appreciated.

    The 300 is not always open, unfortunately theirs no way to tell, so you need to just take the ride.

    The 100 will have everything you need, all the targets will be set, and spotting scopes provided, the range officers are always very helpful and easy going

    Wish they had better hours or extended hours during DLST. Unless you work shift work you're out of luck. I wish there was a nice outdoor range close to AP to take my son target shooting on the weekends.

    I was there at 4:00. Two range officers in attendance, 6-10 shooters. Sighted in my rifle with about 10 shots. On the way home by 4:45. Range officers were still there when I left.

    Just an update to see if anyone has been recently and if the 300yd range was open? I went 3 times about 2 months ago and only the 100yd range was available.
