Potts Slope Shooting Range

This range is for rifle and pistol practice only. The lanes are sheltered from the sun and each one has a shooting bench that accommodates left and right-handed shooters. This range is designed for firing at stationary targets at 25, 50 and 100 yards. Shooters must bring their own paper targets to affix to the wire mesh fence.
