Q – What type of gun should I bring?
A - All standard hunting calibers are acceptable on the range. We do not allow .50 cals, or full metal jackets.

Q – Does Spirit Ridge Rifle Golf provide shooting bags?
A – Any sand bags, shooting sticks, bipods, sleds, etc needed to support your rifle for a steady shot is not provided by SRRG. Those items will need to be provided by each shooter.
Q – What should I wear?
A – Most customers dress in standard field / hunting clothing. During the summer months temperatures will vary with cool mornings and hot afternoons, wearing layers is always a good idea. During the fall and winter temperatures can get pretty cold, it is important to remember to, check the forecast before coming out and dress appropriately.
Q – What type of equipment do I need?
A – At a minimum you will need your rifle, ammo (two boxes) and a decent scope. Other items that might be beneficial include; sand bag, tripod or sticks of some kind, binoculars or a spotting scope, a range finder, ballistic charts for your gun and the load you are shooting, a light jacket. You will also need an ATV to get yourself around the course. If you do not have your own or you don’t want to haul yours up to the course, no problem. We have several Polaris Ranger Crews that you can rent for yourself and your shooting party.
Q – Can I shoot different calibers / guns while on the course?
A – On a regular round of rifle golf you are able to shoot different calibers if you so choose, a “driver”, an “iron”, and a “putter” if needed. Most shooters only shoot the one caliber, but you are welcome to use different calibers for the different shots if you would like. On tournament days you can only use one rifle.
Q – How many rifles can I bring out?
A – We have never really set a limit on how many rifles you can bring. Most shooters bring one to two. A back up is always a good idea to have at least at the club house in case there is an issue.
Q – Do I need to bring my own first aid kit?
A – This is never a bad idea. We will have a first kit with each guide, but to have one with you at all times in the outdoors is a great practice.
The Game, The Course, The Divisions (masters and classic)
Q – How is the game scored?
A – The course is set up with nine “holes” and a bonus hole. At each hole you will have the ability to take up to three shots at two different targets. The procession at a hole would go something like this. The guide would have you set up on a Moose at 456 yards. You would have two shots at the Moose. If you hit the metal gong in the vital area on the first hit you would score an eagle, which would be two under par for the hole. However if you missed and hit it on the second shot you would score a birdie or one under par. But on the rare occasion that you missed both shots the guide would set you up on a bear at 234 yards. You would have one shot at the Bear for par. On the extremely unlikely chance that you miss this shot also you would be given a bogey or a one over par and move on to the next whole.
Q – How long does it take to shoot the course?
A – To complete the course from start to finish typically takes three to four hours depending on how many are in your group. Average group size is six. We can accommodate tee times from sun up to three hours before sun down.
Q – What type of shooting distances do you offer?
A – Depending on your shooting class, master or classic, the distance of your targets will vary. For a classic shooter the targets are from 190 to 510 yards. For a master shooter the targets are from 250 to 940 yards.
Q – What is the difference between the classic and a master division?
A - The main difference between the two divisions is whether or not shooters are using turrets or dials on their scope. Classic shooters are not allowed to use a scope with turrets or adjust the standard dials. Classic shooters can use a standard scope with BDC reticle. The classic division displays targets from 175 to 535 yards. The master division displays targets from 250 to 910 yards.
Q – How difficult is the trail to ride?
A –The trail is very easy to ride. There is some up and down hill, but nothing that the average rider couldn’t handle. All riders on the course are encouraged to wear helmets, however riders under the age of 18 are required by law to wear a helmet while riding or operating an off highway vehicle.
Q – How many miles do you travel while on the course?
A – The course is about a six mile round trip from start to finish.
Q – How do I know where the targets are located?
A – The target is a black silhouette cutout of different wild game animals. They are easily spotted on the course and are pointed out by the guide. There is also a map of the holes at each station.
Q – What type of targets am I shooting at?
A – They are plywood cutouts with a military grade AR-5000 metal plate in the vital area. The plates are on a hinge system which allows the metal to swing upon impact.
Q – What if I’m a single shooter?
A – Call to be added to another group going out on a day that works for you. If timing doesn’t work you can also pay the full amount of four shooters to shoot single.

A – At current there is not a rim-fire range, but there is one in the making. The ground has been selected and the set-up is in the process.
Q – What are the safety precautions you take?
A – We have designed the course so each station is completely isolated from each other. Each shooter is required to keep their gun unloaded at all times unless making a shot, meaning, the action open and pointed down range. We ask all shooters and spectators to wear ear and eye protection at all times while at each station. There is a first aid kit with each guide and all Hunters Safety rules are followed.
Q – How much time do I have at each station?
A – We allot each group 45 minutes to an hour at each station depending on the size of the group. As long as each shooter is attentive, these time limits give each shooter plenty of time to set-up on the target and make a relaxed shot.
Q – What is the minimum number of participants in the group?
A – The minimum number of shooters to go out on a tee time is four. This number was set more on the minimum cost associated with paying the guide to come out and spend an afternoon with a group. If you are flying solo and you want to come out and you personally don’t want to pay the $200 minimum, give us a call, we can usually add you to another group, no problem.
Q – What is the average shooting party size?
A – The average size is four to six shooters for most groups; however we can accommodate much larger groups if required.

Q – Do you have a range officer?
A – We do have a NRA Certified Range Officer that will be on the course.
Q – Can I shoot my pistol?
A – This is a request we have yet to have. The answer is if you feel like you can make the shots with it then you are welcome to bring it and use it. We are considering incorporating the rim-fire range with a pistol range.
Q - Do you have a place for me to sight in my rifle in before I shoot the course?
A – There is a “driving range” where you can go to sight in or warm up before shooting the course. The ranges will include 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000 yard targets.
