Seeing if anybody knows where a couple retired navy guys could shoot their rifles. The range at the base used to let us, but they closed that off to other than active duty a few years ago. Just looking for a place in the country if there is one? My British 303 needs some rounds ran through it, it has been a while. Appreciate any locals willing to accommodating and merry Christmas!

You can also look at joining Sanners Lake Sportsman Club which is down the street from gate two of the base.

There is currently a waiting list for membership for the next membership year which starts in May. You need to come to the club during public events, such as IDPA, shotgun range, etc., get to know some of the members and have two sponsor you and get in the line. Info at sannerslake.us.
