How much is it for two people to use one stall in the indoor shooting range and test the selection of pistols? and do we have to use ammo provided by Independence Shooting range in those pistols?
For the 25-yd lanes it is $18 for first person and $15 for each additional shooter up to 4 shooters assigned to one booth. Basic handguns are $10 to rent one. For $25 you can try out all the different basic handguns (9mm, .40, .45 ACP). When customers rent our guns we require them to shoot our ammo through it. That way we know exactly what is going through the gun and it helps keep our insurance costs down.
If all you need is a great safe place to shoot you can bring in you own firearms, ammo, and targets and all you pay for is the lane rental fee. We don't allow armor piercing rounds, steel core, incendiary, or dum dum rounds.
Brittany Ward is correct. She's hired!
How Do you sign up for lessons for new gun owners?
You can call 208-576-4867 and ask for Gavin or Ryan. They can tell you all about the classes. You can go to the website at www.iishooting.com and click on the training heading and that page lists a bunch of classes for new shooters. You can read about the classes, look at the training calendar, and even sign up for classes directly from the website. The classes are geared towards all levels of shooters. The New Shooter Orientation is a basic orientation and doesn't even involve firearms (no guns or shooting in that class.) It is for people who are wondering if gun ownership is even right for them. The First Shots is a little more in depth and students actually shoot in the range. The Basic Pistol class if for those with a basic knowledge of firearms who want to get more hands on supervised training and learn good basic techniques that will serve as a solid foundation for them to practice correctly.
Can you shoot your reloads, or do you have to buy ammo from them?
You can shoot your own reloads from your own firearm.
If you rent a firearm from us you must use ammunition purchased from us in our firearms.
This is a requirement from our insurance carrier.
Do they offer enhanced concealed carry courses?
Yes we offer enhanced conceal carry courses. They are taught in our comfortable classrooms and you get to shoot on our indoor range. Our instructors are some of the best in the state, they are the same instructors that teach at the Idaho Post Academy. Our course is also backed by the USCCA, and comes with a book. The cost of the course is on par with other local providers at $150.00. There is no more professional, safe,and comfortable place to take this course in the state of Idaho. Please disregard the comment from Safari Hunter, he is a disgruntled formal employee. Please shoot safe and thanks for the inquiry.
Do you have senior citizens discount and what about women night discount.
We don't have a senior citizen discount in the store, but we do have a Senior morning on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm and receive half off range fees. Our women's night is Tuesday evening from 5pm to close. Thanks for you inquire.
How much do you charge per hour? Does that include the range fee? If not, how much is the range fee?
The daily range fee is $18 for the 25-yd bays. $25 for the 100-yd bay (which includes the 25-yd bays.) You can shoot all day if there is no other customer waiting for a lane. If there is a wait for lanes then we limit shooters to 1hr and then you have to give up your lane and put your name back in the queue. Some customers will shoot in the morning then go have lunch then come back.
Do they sell hearing protection
Yes. There is a wide selection of hearing protection. Everything from the foam ear plugs to noise canceling headphones

Do we have to make reservations to shoot or is it first come first serve?
It is first come first served. There is no reservation system. There are 17 25-yard lanes and 4 100yd lanes. Lane fee is for one hour of shooting and is good all day. That means if people are waiting for a lane we limit you to one hour and then you can get back in lines and shoot some more. If no one is waiting for a lane then you can keep shooting all day. Some customers shoot for an hour then go home for lunch and come back and shoot some more that night. All for the same "1-hr" range fee.
Can I visit here and use gun rental service + range as solo foreign traveler? Do I need to be accompanied with someone?
We can accommodate you. Welcome to America! We will have one of our range safety officers accompany you unless you have a friend you want to bring along. Thanks
Is there a minimum age requirement house the range?
8 years old is the minimum age to shoot in the range.
How long are the night classes for the ladies?
That class is about 3.5 to 4 hours long and is a wonderful class (sometimes classes go a little beyond our closing time for regular retail customers.) Sarah, the academy director usually teaches it and does a wonderful job. Our instructors are first rate.
Can 15 year old shoot (with our family?)
Yes. One of the accompanying family members must be at least 18 years old. The youngest shooters must be at least 8 years old.
Can you bring a guest as a spectator?
Yes. They will have to sign the waiver to enter the range.
Do you provide free hearing and eye protection?
No. Some people bring their own ear and eye protection. Some people buy foam ear plugs from us for a dollar and I think the glasses are two dollars. We used to rent headphones and eye protection and then we stopped when Covid came around. I like to use both the foam earplugs and over the ear headphone style ear protection as well. Double protection. It's worth protecting your hearing. There is a variety of ear protection available in our gun store including custom moleded offerings.
