I have seen this thing several times from the turnpike. It looks like a range just west of Chandler. There is also what looks like a private range west of Chandler that is visible from 66. I have been looking for a place to shoot in the area and was wondering if it's a club range or what? Anybody care to share? If I had the resources I would open a public controlled fire range out there. Know it would go over cause there are a lot of folks that don't have anywhere to shoot safely out there. Lots of good land for one too.

Several years ago there was a Chandler gun club that shot at the lake west of town. I haven't heard anything of them in a long time. Not sure if that's what you are seeing, just thought I would mention it in case you wanted to look into it. Good luck!!

No that ain't it but good info. I didn't know there was a club. Will have to find out where they were shooting. Some locals in town told me that most just go out to the river (south of town) but I am not comfortable with that even though it seems to be on an abandoned county road...just not comfortable with that at all. The lake is North of town past the Turnpike.

What I saw from the turnpike was on the south side of the road toward Rt 66. There was what looked steel spinners and some nicely built dirt berms. From the other side (Rt 66) the range appears to be used a lot but does appear to be private as there is a house back in there. Again I don't know if the two areas are connected. As many times as I have been by there (every day during the week and sometimes on weekends) I have never seen either location in use.

I just want a safe place for my family and myself to shoot that isn't so far away as to require a day trip. Takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Not sure exactly which range you are talking about but I do know there is a new range being built out near the stroud area that may have a day for public shooting. I'll keep you updated when it's finished.

Stroud would fine. I would have no problem driving that far. Thank you and look forward to getting the news.

If the one you are thinking of is just west of Wellston, it is a private range and I heard only LEOs shoot there.
