Where To Shoot

Three Peaks Shooting Range, Iron County, Utah
  • This is a new range. There is no charge. The range is unattended.
  • The range area currently has a 300-yard range with several lanes. Plans are in the works for smallbore, pistol, and 1,000-yard ranges.
  • How to get there: From Main Street in Cedar City, drive west on Highway 56 (200 North). After traveling 5.3 miles turn right on Iron Springs Road. After another 5.4 miles, turn right onto a dirt road. After 2.0 miles, you'll see the range on your left.
  • Shoot only from the designated shooting stations on the concrete pad, setting your targets at the appropriate distance from the concrete pad. Don't go 300 yards downrange to the backstops to shoot. That wastes the entire 300-yard range behind you that somebody else may need.
  • Follow all safety rules as outlined by the NRA.
  • If others are using the range, coordinate trips downrange for target checks, etc.
  • Don't use the signs and trash cans as targets!
  • Sadly, already we have grossly inconsiderate folks who are taking their household trash (old TVs, vacuum cleaners, tables, ironing boards, lawn mowers, car batteries, transmissions, etc.) to the range for use as targets. If you're adult enough to shoot, you're adult enough to have consideration for those who use the range after you leave. When you leave, please take your targets, expended brass, and other trash with you.
