Marinette county gun ranges, any suggestions?

[THREEDFLYER]

I know of a few shotgun ranges but I am looking for a decent rifle/pistol range in Marinette County.

We recently moved to WI from Salmon, ID where I lived on a 3,000 acre beef cattle ranch and had a 75 yard pistol range behind my place and could set up to shoot at least 1,000 for rifle on the ranch.......miss that to say the least!

I am pretty sure I won't find a range much beyond 200 yards in this area.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I see its an Hr. 10 min. to Shiocton wi. from Pound. If you are up for the drive they have a city park that has a few pistol ranges and a couple rifle ranges the longest rifle range is 500 yrds. If you take the drive try it on a Thursday and after shooting go to New london and have some food at the Waters. Thursdays Surf and Turf special was a great deal and I believe old fashions were $3.50 but it has been a while. I hope you have enjoyed a Wisconsin tradition of a Friday fish fry and an old fashion.
The range is open to the public and they asked at the time for a $2.00 donation. I never had 2 bucks on me and was happy to leave a 10 or 20 for a full day of shooting. If you shoot bows take them with they have towers to shoot from ect. This is my Idea of a great city park, swimming hole, tennis court playground equipment and a great place for the big kids to play.
They are closed during the deer hunt and I am not sure who to contact to find out if and when they are open

Or Antigo Wi. is an HR. 8 minutes from pound. they have a decent range that goes to 300 yrds. never shot pistols there but I believe there is a pistol range. I did go there once to shoot and it was closed for some function and Again I have no idea who to contact.
I used to be on the road and have pretty much shot at ever public range except for the north west side of the state. I have forgotten about most.
In Antigo you shoot thru large cement culvert pipes, some hate it for the noise and it seems until you send a few down range dust and sand come off the tubes.

Try contacting local gun clubs, county sheriff's range, and nearby sporting arms shops. Many Marinette facilities cap around 200 yards; consider joining a private club or traveling for long-range

I will second the Shiocton range. I also used to live in Merrill and have shot in Antigo. They have an archery range there also. 200 yard ranges are quite common in Wisconsin, the 1000 are hard to come by. I know the feeling of moving. I had a 300 yard range off my back deck literally 6 feet from my bedroom. Now have to drive 1/2 hour to get 200.
