Shotgun Range
LMGC offers one of the nicest shotgun facilities on the east coast. Shooters can try their hand at both American Skeet and Trap, as well as two nine trap 5-stand fields. And for those with a bit more skill, International Skeet and Bunker Trap (International Trap) is also available.

Archery Range
Our Archery Range provides opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to come and develop their archery skills. A large area with field targets provides Olympic-style shooters a place to practice, and the 10 lane 3-D range will challenge 3-D shooters and those wanting to hone their hunting skills. The range is open during the same hours as the shotgun range, offering access seven days a week. Currently, LMGC does not offer archery rentals. When bringing your own equipment, please keep in mind that we do not allow:
- No broadheads (field points only)
- No crossbows (recurve or compound bows only)

Shotgun Range: Sporting Clay Course
Hone your existing shotgun shooting abilities! Our 12 station, 100 shot Sporting Clay Course, provides shooters with the chance to spend a few hours with LMGC staff utilizing established shotgun skills. This is for individuals who have shooting experience and are looking to further develop their skills.
As this is more advanced shooting that requires fundamental abilities and some stamina, there will be a prerequisite that, before registration, shooters must come to the range and demonstrate safe firearms handling and clay shooting ability on one of our 5-stands.
- Course length is 2.5 hours with a full squad (4-5 people) or 1.5 hours for 2-3 people.
- Pricing includes course transportation as well as assistance by LMGC staff

What should I expect when I visit Liberty Mountain Gun Club?

Are there dress requirements at Liberty Mountain Gun Club?
- Close-toed shoes are required at all times on any of the ranges at LMGC. We also highly recommend you wear a crewneck shirt or a top that fits snugly around your neckline to help prevent hot brass casings from getting inside your clothing.
