Myrtle Grove WMA Shooting Range Hours and Rules

[Kinbote]

I don't do much archery, but they have a few haybales set up and a raised platform to practice shooting from a height. You can probably get 30 meters or so from one of the archery backstops, maybe more if you really want to do long distance. If you have your own target you might want to bring it; it's a pretty bare-bones layout there.

Hey, all. This was kind of asked earlier, but I'd just like some clarification.

Since only one shooter is allowed at each bench, how do I go about rotating a couple new-shooter friends in to shoot my new rifle? They'll all have a daily badge, of course.

The one shooter rule means only one gun active at a time, right? So my friends can stand around me as I teach them how to use the rifle, etc.?

And no monkeying around with other guns on the back-bench while you teach someone sitting at the table.

People arrive at 8:30, and some even setup or scrounge brass - but the range doesn't technically open till 9.

And lighting off rounds before 9 earns you a $250 fine.

thanks for the heads up

Some are not going to like this answer but as long as everyone has a permit then they are entitled to have there own lane/ table. When you ho try and get two tables side by side and you in between so you can watch both tables and rotate them between the two.
People get upset with this kind of thing because it takes a table from them but if you have permet you have right to a table.

 

[BMORE52LEWIS]

I herd this place is pretty nice, after reading the rules sounds pretty strict ?, can anyone clear up the permit for me?, and how would I go about getting one?. Another thing does this place charge by the hr when your on the lane?. Whats the entry fee?. THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!

 

[rickyp]

It isn't as nice as it sounds. You can buy permit from Dnr website or buy day pass thete. For day pass you will see brown post with them in it and a cash box. No range officer on duty but they along with Dnr Police stop in all the time. Before they go to the range they hide in the hills behind the range watching people to see if you are doing anything wrong. If they catch you they will heavly fine you. I had an issue once shooting my muzzle loader. I went down not long before closing to sight it in. Right at closing a range officer came down and told me to put my gun away. I tried explaining I was a muzzle loader and I had it loaded. And needed to fire it to clear it. He was nasty saying if I didn't put it away now he would fine me $100 for shooting after hours. Mind you this was at the very minute it closed. He could have let me clear it and still had been right at closing time. But chose to be unreasonable.
The place can get dangerous because you get everyone from never shooting a gun to self proclaimed gun experts. I even had a guy trowing brass cases at me because he didn't like the muzzle blast from my rifle.

I haven't been keeping track of deer Season...

Is the grove open today? I need to take my wife out for some training time as there is a felon in the neighborhood.

 

[BigRick]

You should be good to go! I went right before deer firearms season and they had a sign posted that the range would be closed until the 16th of Dec.

Could not find the answer on this thread nor DNR-MG site -- Do they limit in any way shotgun ammo options on the 100yd range?

Slugs only on the range unless they changed the policy.

 

[StantonCree]

What are the distances on the archery range?

I can't answer your question but doesn't Needwood have an archery range?

 

[SpatialD]

Appreciate the reply!

Hmmm, so likely no opportunity to pattern a shotgun at MG since static targeting isn't allowed on the trap range. Will have to visit MSAR for that purpose.

 

[HandsomeBonobo]

Does the trap range have a throwing machine installed, or would I need to bring one?
