The Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce substantial improvements to the Provo City Gun Range, located 3 mles up Squaw Peak Road in Provo Canyon.

 

A new 30 yard rifle shooting range has been constructed with four firing positions. The adult range has been lengthened to a full 100 yards and the pistol range has been expanded to a total of 20 positions at 50 yards.

 

    

 

All the firing lines are now covered with a roof for a more comfortable shooting environment. Additional improvements will include concrete benches, rifle racks and concrete floors.

The Shotgun Range is operated by the Provo Gun Club. For many years the Provo Gun Club was just a trap shooting facility. With the addition of Sporting Clays in the late 1990’s, Skeet in 2000 and a 5 stand facility in 2001, the Provo Gun Club is the most versatile gun club in Utah. They are open to the public for shooting:

 

Wednesdays: 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

In addition to these days, the gun club will be open Saturdays for 5 stand and Sundays for 50 bird trap competition.
