Can I bring a child to the range?
Yes! Gun For Hire is proud to be a true family range. We welcome children to safely experience the sport of shooting with their parents or guardians.

Age guidelines:

  • Under 8: Children may not enter the live range. However, we provide a comfortable family lounge where you can relax and watch from outside the bay. Plus, our youngest guests receive a small surprise gift so they still feel part of the fun.

  • Ages 8 and up: May shoot long guns (rifles or shotguns) under the supervision of an adult 21 or older.

  • Ages 13 and up: May shoot pistols as well as long guns, again with an adult 21 or older.

For safety and comfort, we recommend younger shooters start with a .22LR firearm. If a child shows maturity and the ability to handle more, our instructors may allow larger calibers.

Important to know:

  • Children cannot be left unattended at any time.

  • A parent or legal guardian must provide consent for a minor’s participation. Each visit also confirms agreement to our most current Waiver and Assumption of Risk policy.

Gun For Hire is committed to offering a safe, educational, and family-friendly environment for everyone.
