Oakdale Gun Club features 25-, 50-, 100-, and 200-yard rifle ranges. We permit all slug-firing shotguns (smoothbore or rifled) and all modern rifles up to and including .50 BMG on our ranges.

All ranges feature covered, weather-protected shooting stations, rock-solid shooting benches, sandbags if you want them, and plenty of room to set up your rifle and spotting scope.

Oakdale Gun Club uses a system similar to a ski-lift ticket. During public hours, each shooter must check in at the Clubhouse and purchase a daily range pass. Once you have a range pass, you may use any open and supervised range on the club grounds. You may even leave the club grounds (say, to get lunch) and return later the same day.

All shooters are required to have hearing and eye protection. If you do not have hearing protection or shooting glasses, foam earplugs and inexpensive shooting glasses are available in the Clubhouse, along with pop, snacks, extra targets, and ammunition in most popular calibers.

Shooters under the age of 18 must show their DNR Firearms Safety Certificates before they can purchase a range pass.

A little more information:

The Competition Range features both 25- and 50-yard target stands. If you want to shoot a centerfire rifle or slug-firing shotgun at 25 yards, please use the Competition Range.

The 25-yard Range is at this time restricted to rimfire and conventional pistol-caliber firearms only, because of problems with the backstop material.

The 50-, 100-, and 200-yard Ranges are open for unrestricted use.

Oakdale Gun Club charges by the shooter, not by the hour, the range used, or by the number of guns. Each shooter must purchase and wear a range pass. A "shooter" is any person who plans to shoot a gun. For example:

• Linda brings out her elk rifle and plans to spend an hour sighting it in on the 200-yard range. She pays $15 for her range pass.
   
• Paul brings out two rifles and plans to spend the morning on the 100-yard range with his .223 and the afternoon on the 25-yard range with his .22. He pays $15 for his range pass.
   
• Larry brings out his friends Moe and Curly and one rifle, which the three of them plan to take turns using. Larry, Moe, and Curly must pay $15 each for their three range passes.
   
• Andy brings out his son Opie, who has just received his DNR Hunter Safety certificate, and one .22 rifle. Andy is not going to touch a trigger; he's merely there to instruct Opie in safety and marksmanship. Opie pays $15 for his range pass and Andy gets in free.
   
• Reba wants to shoot two rounds of trap and then spend a few hours on the 25-yard range with her .22 rifle. She pays $12 for the two rounds of trap plus $15 for the rifle range pass, for a total of $27.
