The Freedom Shack started in 2023 making precision rifle shooting bags and quickly expanded into other items for shooting sports.
In late 2025 we have purchased 37.x acres of land to open a shooting range and construction is starting in January. We opened for our first USPSA Match in May of 2026 where we had 94 shooters come to compete!
The vision for the range was that you'd feel like you've entered not only a range but a range where the people who own/run it take great pride in it. We want to offer a park like setting with clean bays, a pavilion, fire pit and a food truck at matches. A place you may even want to stick around after and grill some burgers with your friends.
There are a total of 6 pistol bays. These are USPSA style bays where you run around and shoot in three directions. Those USPSA style/pistol bays are surrounded on three sides with large mounds of dirt.
We have a 35 yard by 100 yard bay for rifle competitions. We typically run 6 Stages out of this bay for NRL22. 5 for the standard monthly course of fire and a bonus stage that is always 100+ yards.
We have cleared the logging trails that exist in the woods. We are going to utilize the entire 37 acres for Sporting Clay shoots, walk through shoots, tracking schools etc.
The long range has been cleared to 500+ yards with a back stop and we have the back stop built at 300 yards that cover the entire width of the 100 yard rifle bay. This will allow us to do NRLX/PRS style shoots through lanes that are cut into the wooded area behind the 100 yard bay.
Our primary purpose is matches and training. We will offer all types of training from basic firearm safety to advanced USPSA/IPSC/NRL/Long Range. Do you have a favorite trainer that travels and offers training? We want to bring those people in and will offer our range and facility to other trainers. Just have them reach out to us.
This is a link to Practiscore for all the matches we are currently holding.
