About
Provo Shooting Sports Park is a city-owned firearms education and training facility located just two miles up Provo Canyon from the city. Situated at 1450 E Rifle Range Road, this well-maintained range serves as a hub for both beginner shooters and experienced marksmen looking for a safe, controlled environment to practice their skills.
The facility operates as a public shooting range with a mission-focused approach to firearms education and training. Multiple reviewers praise the professionalism and expertise of the staff, particularly highlighting their patience with first-time shooters and their dedication to safety protocols. One visitor noted that staff member Garrett and others were ‘super helpful and safety-conscious,’ while another emphasized that ‘highly skilled trainers’ took time to explain firearm rules and help shooters improve their technique.
The covered range is a notable feature, providing year-round comfort regardless of weather or season. One reviewer specifically mentioned appreciating the covered design during hot summer months, which keeps the shooting area more comfortable than outdoor alternatives.
The range accommodates a variety of firearm types, including rimfire and centerfire rifles, handguns in calibers from .22 to .50, and muzzle-loading firearms. The facility’s rifle range extends to 100 yards, making it suitable for most shooting disciplines, though long-range shooters may find it limiting. The handgun and .22 areas offer plenty of target positions, making it ideal for shooters working on accuracy and fundamentals.
Group training is a strong suit at Provo Shooting Sports Park. Multiple visitors mentioned working with trainers for skill development, including one visitor whose spouse received patient, one-on-one instruction to build confidence and competency. The facility also engages a ‘gun expert’ on staff to troubleshoot firearm problems, adding value for those experiencing mechanical issues.
Public shooting costs just $8 per visit, with discounted punch passes available at $32 for five visits. The facility emphasizes accessibility, allowing shooters to bring their own firearms while providing affordable rental of hearing and eye protection on-site. The combination of affordable pricing, expert staff, and well-maintained facilities makes Provo Shooting Sports Park a solid choice for recreational shooting and firearms training in the Provo area.
