The Upper Delta WMA Shooting Range provides shooting opportunities at distances up to 100 yards. The facility is unique in that it requires the barrel of firearms to be inserted into a steel tube prior to discharging ammunition. The bullet travels through a 20-foot steel pipe and then downrange into the target and impact berm. A small concrete pad to shoot shotguns at clay targets is located to the south of the rifle range. The rifle range is wheelchair accessible and has a concrete walkway for downrange access to the target lines.
Hours of Operation
The range is open during daylight hours only (except by permit).
