The Nassau County Rifle and Pistol Range is the only such facility open to the public in the county. Hunting safety classes are also offered. The range is located at the Mitchel Field Athletic Complex in the "Hub" area, just west of the Nassau Coliseum. The Range received an extensive renovation over the summer of 2005 that included lead removal from the ranges and the addition of a new roof and additional parking.

 

  • Excellent lighting and air system to ensure a safe shooting environment
  • The range accomodates rifles, shotguns, and handguns
  • Each range is 30 yards in length w/target holder that can be from 3 to 90 feet
