Only public range is the one in the Alabama Swamps. I'll see if I can find a link.

You'll need to provide your own bench or borrow one from a friend. What are you looking to shoot?

Hard to give directions to it but.......

Going north out of Akron on Rt 93-

Find Foote Rd, off of Rt 93 (I think), take that north to Ditch Rd., go North and turn right (east) on Bartel.

The "range" is on the right (south side) maybe 3/4 mile or so down. Various burms to shoot into, but I think the furthest is 135 yards. No bench provided and don't shoot off the hood of a vehicle!

I believe there are outdoor shooting ranges for rifle at North Forest Sportsmans Club (Lockport), 3-FClub (Lewiston), Niagara County Sportsmans (Lockport), and other clubs in Gasport, and Middleport to mention a few. Not sure about Tonanwanda Sportsmans club (just off Bear Ridge Rd.) In most cases, you would likely have to be a member though unless you could get on with a member as a guest.

That's what I figured, hence the public range I noted above.

It is the ONLY public/free range in our WNY area.
