Facility Information & Range Rules

 Our work is guided entirely by grassroots volunteers. Our chapter advances the mission of the Izaak Walton League – restoring watersheds, reducing air pollution, fighting litter, protecting wildlife habitat and open spaces, and instilling conservation ethics in outdoor recreationists. To reach potential new members we encourage members to bring guests to our facility to enjoy the shooting sports opportunities we have to offer. Facilities are for the use of members, their families and guests. Guests are not expected to be continuous users of the facilities and are encouraged to become members.

Please follow these rules when bringing guests to our facility:

• All members may bring five guests to our facility at a time.
• All guests must complete a liability waiver and return it to the Board of Directors.
• All guests must be accompanied by a member at all times.
• Members have priority to facilities, if your guests are shooting and other members show up be courteous and share the facility. (1 shooting lane per member is a good guideline.)
• Commercial use is prohibited under our Guest Policy. (See Rental Policy)

Remember the primary purpose of bringing guests is to share our facility and grow our membership, be sure to suggest your guests join and support our chapter. 

Our shooting ranges are available for members use and depend on our members using them safely and responsibly. To facilitate thus we have created two documents to assist our members in safely using the range.  They can be found at the bottom of this page.

• 2021 Range Rules for Uncontrolled Range provides you with the range safety rules and guidelines for how to safely manage the cease fire systems on each bay. 
• 2021 Range Utilization for Uncontrolled Range provides you with guidelines for acceptable targets, target placement, and other aspects of utilizing our range. 

Please remember that our facility is run by volunteers, so clean up after yourself when you are done shooting. Take down your targets, clean up your trash, and police your brass. In general try to leave the range a little cleaner than when you arrived. 

The Trap Range Safety Rules can be found at the bottom of this page.

Please direct all questions to the Trap Committee.

The archery rules can be found at the bottom of this page.  Please direct all questions to the Ankeny Ikes Board.
