Welcome!

 
Please explore our website and come visit our range.    We have world class Rifle-Pistol, Trap & Skeet, and Archery ranges.   We offer safety and introduction education through the Hunter Safety classes and GALS program.  We have a variety of monthly matches including Muzzleloader, Cowboy Action Shooting, High Power, and a variety of action pistol and related matches (IDPA, ICORE, Steel Challenge, USPSA, Rimfire, 3-gun and Tactical Shotgun).    You will find more information about each by clicking on the blue bubbles across the top of this website. 


Thanks to Dave Pabinquit and his drone, we have some amazing photos of the rifle-pistol range.    Click here to see Dave's photos

Note:  The Shotgun range is CLOSED Monday, January 14th due to rain.   This is only for the Shotgun range and does not affect Rifle-Pistol

Note: The Shotgun (trap/skeet) range will be CLOSED for a private event on the evening of Friday January 18th.    The Shotgun range will be open to the public from 9AM-2PM but closed after that.   This is just the Shotgun range and just for Friday January 18th.  This does not impact other SLOSA ranges. 
SLOSA DINNER COMING JANUARY 20th
Please join us on Sunday January 20th for the next SLOSA dinner.   We will be announcing the 2019 Sportsman of the Year and introducing the 2019 SLOSA Board of Directors.   This event is open to the public (SLOSA member and other range users)
 
The menu will be smoked ham, chicken, beans, garlic bread, and green salad.   A beverage is included with your dinner.   And, save room for a hot fudge sundae for dessert!   The dinner is $15 for adults and $10 for kids under 12.    All ticket sales are at the door but we sure appreciate a RSVP to let us know you're coming (see below).   Dinner will be at the SLOSA Education building (the large building between the SLOSA Rifle-Pistol and Shotgun ranges).    Doors open and appetizers will be served at 5:30 and dinner will be served at 6PM.

"WHAT ARE THE RANGE HOURS?"   
SLOSA operates a number of different ranges (Rifle-Pistol, Shotgun, Archery) as well as many monthly or weekly matches.   Each range and match has its own schedule.   Below are the hours for our three main public ranges along with links for more info.    Need info on one of the other matches or event?   Look across the top of the screen for the blue "bubble" with the topic of interest.

See the Archery page for details about backrange shoots
 
But Google says your hours are...
Unfortunately, the Google business summary page seems to only allow one set of hours to be shown for a business.   We have a variety of ranges (rifle-pistol, shotgun, archery, action pistol, cowboy action, muzzleloader) each with their own hours.   We are looking into it but it doesn't appear that the Google Business summary will allow that level of detail in the hours listed.  So we had to pick one set of hours to list and we picked Rifle-pistol because that is by far our most visited range.   You will always find the detailed hours for each range listed here at www.slosa.org and we apologize for any confusion that the Google listing creates.
 
Student Night on the Rifle-Pistol and Shotgun ranges
Friday Night is Student Night at the Rifle/Pistol range.   Bring your student ID to the Friday night session (6PM-9PM) and shoot for $10 even if you aren't a member.  And on the Shotgun range, students can shoot for the member price of $8/round on Thursdays.   In 2017, student pricing at Shotgun expands to Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays!
 
Popgun Night
Popgun Night is our monthly family-oriented rimfire-only evening at the rifle range.   We start Popgun night at 5 PM and it goes until about 8.  Popgun Night is the first Saturday of each month.  The next one is Saturday January 5th starting at 5PM at the SLOSA Rifle-Pistol range.  See the  Youth Activities page  for additional information.
