Jackson Hole Gun Club

Jackson Hole Gun Club is a private outdoor shooting facility about five miles south of Jackson on Highway 89, with rifle, pistol, archery, and (member-only) shotgun bays. Visitors typically access the range through the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience for guided sessions and instruction. The right fit is anyone wanting safe, structured firearms or archery instruction, or experienced shooters wanting a quality outdoor range. The wrong fit is anyone with no interest in shooting sports; this is a destination for the discipline.

What you can actually do

Rifle range (multiple distances), pistol bays, archery range, and shotgun bay (annual members only). The Jackson Hole Shooting Experience operates from the club for guided sessions: introductory firearms instruction for new shooters, family-friendly group sessions, corporate team-building, and tailored experiences for experienced shooters. Equipment, ammunition, and instruction can be packaged together so visitors don't need to bring their own gear.

Who this works for

First-time shooters wanting a safe instructional environment. Families with kids old enough to learn (age minimums apply). Travelers from outside the U.S. wanting a regulated firearms experience. Experienced shooters who want a quality outdoor range while in the area. Corporate or family groups wanting a structured shared activity. Less suited: travelers uninterested in firearms or hunting culture, anyone uncomfortable with shooting sports as an activity.

Member-Only Shooting & Training Activities at Jackson Hole Gun Club

For visitors, book through the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience rather than walking up; the club itself is structured for member access. Discuss what you want from the session at booking: introduction to handguns, rifle marksmanship, archery, or family experience. Bring eye protection (often provided), weather-appropriate layers (it's outdoor), closed-toe shoes, and water. Hearing protection is provided. Sessions typically run 1-3 hours.

Honest limits to know

Three honest tradeoffs. First, weather is real. Outdoor range; weather closes operations for safety. Second, this is firearms; some visitors are uncomfortable with the format and shouldn't book. Third, age minimums apply; younger kids may not be eligible.

Word to the wise

For first-time shooters, take an instructional session before any range time. The instructors are professional and the structure makes new shooters comfortable; walking in without instruction is much more intimidating and less safe. The Shooting Experience runs introductory programs specifically for first-timers; it's the right starting point.

Bottom line

For safe, instructed firearms or archery experience near Jackson, the Gun Club via the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience is the right call. Book ahead, dress for outdoor weather, and use the introductory programs if you're new to the discipline.
