200-Yard Rifle Range Access & Rules
Overview
The 200-yard rifle range at Linden Gun Range is designed for shooters who are ready to operate safely and responsibly at extended distances. Because long-range shooting carries additional risk and responsibility, access to the 200-yard range is earned through qualification and maintained through continued adherence to our safety standards.
Use of the 200-yard range is a privilege, not a right. We expect all qualified shooters to treat the range, the equipment, and fellow shooters with professionalism and respect at all times.
How to Qualify for the 200-Yard Range
All shooters must qualify with a Range Safety Officer (RSO) before using the 200-yard range.
Qualification steps:
-
Qualify on the 100-yard range with an LGR Range Safety Officer
-
Demonstrate safe firearm handling, muzzle discipline, and the ability to manage equipment at a distance
-
Receive written authorization upon successful qualification
-
Report to the Pro Shop to purchase your 200-yard range badge
​
Your badge confirms authorization and must be obtained before accessing the 200-yard range.
​
Shared Facility & Availability
The 200-yard range is a shared facility and is only available on select dates due to events, maintenance, and scheduled programs.

Important Availability Note
​
When the calendar does indicate the 200-yard range is open, shooters must also review the event description carefully.
​
On some days, the 200-yard range may be shared or time-split with participants in our LGR Action Range Program. This may limit access, restrict shooting times, or designate specific periods for different users.
​
Always read the full calendar description to confirm:
-
Whether the range is fully open or shared
-
Any time blocks or restrictions
-
Program use that may affect access
​
Failure to review the description does not guarantee access.
