Golden Valley Shooting Range, Clinton MO

Great shooting range. We always have a great time there. Wish it had a better pistol range, which is my only minor complaint.

Nice little spot to let some stress out. I usually come out in the morning on week days and I’m the only one there. Don’t come to early though.the sun will be right in your eyes.

Great place, it's a very good use of conservation money

My favorite range so far.
If others are shooting when you arrive, take the time to briefly talk to whoever calls for a cease fire. That person/people are likely "in charge" of their group. Ask "what signal is given before shooting continues", and "no handling of firearms until then, right? ".
If they don't sound confident in their answer, say "hold tight I'm gunna check with those guys over there" (other groups) "and could you let them" (point to his people downrange that didn't hear any of this) "know too".

It's always best to be on the same page and forces them to acknowledge that their group needs to check with yours. If you're thinking this is too much trouble, you've never been walking back from the 100yrd targets when shooting erupts at the 25yrd range.

Wish I were there right now!

Golden Valley is a very excellent state ran range (Unless you are comparing it to Andy Dalton near Springfield, that range is AMAZING). It has a very pistol/rifle range and a nice skeet/trap set up. The range doesn’t normally fill up until around midday, and if you get there early its not crowded at all. There is only one real draw back here, and that is the “privy”. As someone that has PTSD this thing is like looking directly into the gates of Hell, and is nothing I’d ever wish upon my worst enemy. Oh my God, it is the worst “toilet” I have ever seen. If you have to go poop, I suggest you go off into the woods and hope you don’t get shot.

Unmanned outdoor pistol, rifle, and shotgun range. Closed on Wednesday for servicing.
