About the Airgun Range
Delaware County Field and Stream Association is proud to have both a 65-yard airgun-only range, and a walk-through woods course hosting airgun Field Target matches.
The airgun house and range (at the end of the lane) is open year-round for airgun rifle and airgun pistol shooters.
Lead pellets and BB’s are permitted, no paintball or airsoft projectiles.
Shooting benches are available for benchrest-style shooting. Offhand-style shooting is also popular.
On the range, a permanent target board is setup at 10-meters.
One-tenth-scale metal silhouette targets are located on the range at 20, 30, 36 and 45-yards.
A rail at 50-yards is topped with swinging metal targets.
Portable wooden target stands located inside the range house may be used on the range, please return them to the range house when done.
The airgun field house (behind the main clubhouse) leads to a 300-yard trail for airgun Field Target matches.
Monthly competitions, following American Airgun Field Target Association protocols, are hosted during the summer months.
For upcoming airgun events, check the online calendar or airgun house bulletin board.
