Reactive Targets when used responsibly can spice up your target shooting. Small targets like this are inexpensive and usually shot at 50 yards or more for safety. Targets are a 2-part compound that are non-hazardous and non-flammable. Mixed at the range, they require a .223 or higher (minimum 200FPS) to detonate.
Conecuh National Forest
The Conecuh Range is temporarily closed for repairs and is slated to reopen in early spring. We’ll post more info as soon as we have any
Our favorite range is the Conecuh Nation Forest Range in Southern Alabama. This range is free, unattended, and offers pistol and rifle shooting to 100 yards. It’s about a 65 mile drive from Fort Walton and is north of Baker, FL. The range is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8am – 5pm during standard time and 8am – 7pm during daylight savings time.
The range is down a small hill from the parking lot so keep that in mind when packing your gear. The range has chicken wire target stands at 25, 50, and 100yds. These are sometimes shot up so it’s best to bring your own target stands. Legal targets are paper, wood, etc. – things that don’t make a mess. Clay birds make fun plinking targets when put on the 100yd backstop.
Getting there is easy, take Rt 85 to Crestview. As you come into Crestview, turn left on PJ Adams Pkwy (at the Citgo Station) and follow this until it ends at Hwy 90. Turn left on 90 for about 1 mile and then right on Hwy 4. Take 4 into Baker and continue straight on Hwy 189 at the flasher in Baker. Cross the Alabama border and continue to just past the mile 13 marker. You’ll see the sign for the range on the left. There are no facilities so bring plenty of water in the hot months.

Shooting the M1 Garand
The Rossi M92 lever action is very popular for shooting and hunting.
They have been quite hard to get this year in 357 Magnum which is
desired for cheaply shooting 38 Special rounds. We just received a
number of 20″ 357’s with round barrel and blued finish.
While the SR-9C is more well know, Ruger also offers the pistol with
full-size grip and 4″ barrel.
Sigma’s are Smith & Wesson’s entry level semi-automatics. Priced just
over $300 they are a great buy considering they have accessory rails,
2 high-capacity magazines, and a stainless steel finish.
