The range, open to all members of the public, has provided shooters with a safe place to shoot rifles, pistols, shotguns, and archery since it opened on May 1, 2013. From the beginning, the range has staffed its operations with volunteers, a practice that continues to this day.
NRA certified Range Safety Officers (RSOs) are on duty at all times the range is open to insure the safety and fun of our shooters, friends and their families. The volunteer work of the RSOs allows the Cowlitz Game & Anglers to provide an excellent outdoor shooting range experience to its users at a very affordable price.
If you would like to join our cadre of Range Safety Officers, please check out the Upcoming Events section to the right.
Accessibility
The range, including the restroom facilities, was designed to ADA standards to assure that it is fully accessible to our friends who are challenged with disabilities.
300 Yard Rifle and Pistol Range
The centerpiece of the 300 yard rifle and pistol range is the attractive shooting shed that is enclosed on three sides for weather protection of our shooters. There are 14 rifle shooting benches and 8 pistol shooting stations in the shed. Shooting rests and sandbags are available for your use at no cost.
The rifle portion of the range has fixed target holders at 100, 200, & 300 yards. There are also portable target holders for each shooting bench that may be set at any desired distance.
The pistol section of the range has portable target holders that can be placed at any desired location.
Note that the target holders are just that. You will need to provide the targets. (The range has a selection of targets that you may purchase onsite if you don’t bring your own.)
To enhance your shooting experience at our range, we have a few “loaner” spotting scopes for your use if you do not have your own higher quality spotting scope. You will also appreciate using our golf carts to go down range to tend your targets.
Trap Range
A trap range, separate from the rifle and pistol range, is available for your use. This range provides a shelter enclosed on three sides for trap shooters that are waiting their turn on the shooting apron. We have 2 (soon to be 3) trap pads/launchers.
