ABOUT THE SHOOTING RANGE PARK

The Shooting Range Park provides a safe convenient location for citizens to enjoy shooting sports and learn the skills of using firearms for personal protection and hunting. The City of Albuquerque Open Space Division provides and manages this publicly operated shooting range to promote the safe use of firearms in our community and through the state. The Shooting Range Park provides an alternative to illegal firearm practice on our mesas, open spaces, and vacant areas.

The Shooting Range Park is a premiere shooting facility located conveniently west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Park provides a safe environment for shooters of all ages to practice and learn the skills of using a firearm. Highly trained range staff are on-hand at all times to insure the safety of patrons and to provide expert instruction on the use of firearms and provide hunter safety classes.
