How old do you have to be for a shooting range?

Question

im 15 and i want to go to a shooting range anywhere in south australia. so if u no plz tell me thnx.

Answer 1

in america, it's any age, with any firearm.. in Australia, there is a required age of 14. i'm not too sure about any restrictions.. if anything, call up a range and ask, they'd be happy to help you

Edit:  remember to check with the range.. they may have some restrictions of their own for various reasons

Answer 2

In America it probly depends on the state, but in NY I think anyone can go in a shooting range, you just cant shoot pistols if your under 18 and or without a license. However, at 16, you can shoot rifles. I would imaging that its a bit similar around the world...

Answer 3

Here in qld as long as you are over 11 years old you can shoot only, under supervision, with rifles.  Contact the national rifle association of australia to get some details.

Answer 4

In Australia, the requirement is age 14, Youth organisations e.g. Scouts can make a group visit once a year with children as young as 13. For all other purposes the required age is 14.

Answer 5

I don't know about Australia, but in the US of A you have to be 16.

Answer 6

May depend on the range's policies. Where I shoot, they have air rifle lanes, rimfire lanes and centerfire lanes of varying distances. Any member 16+ can use an air rifle without supervision. Rimfire they allow 17+ (with range officer approval) without supervision. Anything you want at age 18. For pistols, you have to be 18, but need supervision until 21.

Answer 7

i really dont know i live in a really small town and everybody knows everybody and at our gun range you have to be 15 i live in arkansas i dont know you would prolly have to call and ask

Answer 8

My personal experience has been that as long as you're accompanied by a legal guardian you can go to a range at any age, my dad and I have been going down to a range pretty regularly for about 3 years and I'm just now 15.

However, if you're going by yourself you have to be old enough to own the gun.
