Ranges that allow buckshot?

MattTheGunslinger · Jul 11, 2014

Hey y'all. I'm looking for a place to practice with my 590A1 while using buckshot. I have shot plenty of slugs at different ranges but no buckshot. Thinking about it, I don't believe I have ever fired buckshot before! Being my HD gun I would like to see how it behaves with different loads. Anyone know of any ranges that allows shot shells? Thanks in advance!

Continental only allows buckshot.

At Berwyn Rod and Gun Club we're installing a shotgun range with two shooting positions where shooters will be limited to buck/bird/target shot. The range should be ready for use sometime around October.

Apart from the trap field, AGC's range is for shotgun patterning only, not for target practice.

Understood, but from the OP it sounds like he wants to see how different buckshot rounds pattern

Thanks everyone for the input! I'll check out the public ranges on Monday

As for the private ones like Berwyn rod and gun club, how does one get into a club like that? Don't you have to be sponsored? I would love to be part of a gun club, but know absolutely no one in any club.

I do want to pattern my shots, but I would also like a place wear I can practice loading and switching between buck and slug. I want to take a dynamic shotgun class some day. I bought the magpul course on dvd(i know, far from real training) and that peaked my interest!

At Berwyn we have a cap on membership, but we just voted to raise the cap by 50 at the last meeting. I know we have a waiting list, but I don't think it's long enough to fill all the newly opened slots.

You don't have to be sponsored to join, but you do have to attend a range safety orientation which takes about four hours. It's also one of the more expensive shooting clubs around. There's a $200 initiation fee and dues of $400/year, prorated if you join part way through the year. On the other hand, there is no volunteer/work requirement. Info on joining is here: http://berwyn.org/page-1514693?

I've shot 00 Buck at Continental. At 7 yards I kept blowing the target off holder with the blast after the shot hit the paper. Take lots of targets
