Located on Golden Arrow Road in the training areas, Aachen Range offers sportsmen the opportunity to do a little plinking, try out that new pistol, or sight in their favorite hunting rifle before the beginning of deer season.

The archery range adjacent to the road to Heise Pond was built by archers for archers. With targets out to 40 yards, archers can challenge their accuracy and fine tune their skills. A wooden tree stand gives bow hunters the opportunity to practice more realistic hunting challenges before taking to
