Idaho Shooting Ranges: IDFG Public Ranges, BLM Qualified Ranges, Gun Clubs, Clays, Archery and Indoor Lanes

Idaho’s 6 IDFG public ranges, with who runs each

A linked name opens its range page here; the small county link opens that county’s hunting guide. Hours and fees are the first lines IDFG publishes, and every clock time is local (MT or PT).

• IDFG names five public ranges on its shooting page (Black's Creek near Kuna, Farragut near Athol, the Boise River WMA archery range, Nampa and Garden Valley); a separate IDFG article from August 6, 2025 adds the free archery range at the Lemhi Hole Access Site in Salmon.
• The Black's Creek and Nampa pages each call the range one of four Idaho shooting ranges owned by IDFG. No page that was read names all four together, so this guide does not guess which range is the fourth.
• Black's Creek, the busiest of them by IDFG's own account, has a main range of 36 benches from 5 to 200 yards plus a 500-meter range, and bans armor-piercing, tracer, incendiary and steel-core ammunition as well as exploding targets.
• Farragut keeps 50-, 100- and 200-yard lines, a four-point trap field with manual throwers and a 20-target 3D archery loop where crossbows are allowed; fees are cash only.
• The Nampa range is now an indoor air gun and indoor archery facility; IDFG says its outdoor archery range is closed indefinitely for safety reasons.
• Garden Valley Public Shooting Range appears on the IDFG list by name only: no address, owner, hours or disciplines were published, so it has no card details and no map pin.
• The BLM EXPLORE Act list names 9 qualified ranges in Idaho on 1,313.5 acres of BLM land or former BLM land, some still under Recreation and Public Purposes leases and some patented; seven come from club or range listings, whose own rules decide who shoots.

IDFG rows from the IDFG Public Shooting Ranges page, the Black’s Creek, Farragut and Nampa range pages (with the Black's Creek pricing page and the Farragut operation page) and the IDFG archery range articles; BLM leases, patents and acreage from the BLM EXPLORE Act qualified range list; city and county ranges from directory listings.

Every mapped Idaho range from the Panhandle to the Utah line

71 pins run from Shoot North Idaho in the north to DMR Gun & Knife Works in the south, and from Range 208 Lewiston in the west to Soda Springs Shooting Complex in the east. County leaders by count: Ada County (8), Bonneville County (6), Canyon County (6) and Madison County (5).

Highlighted pins are IDFG, BLM-land and city ranges. A pin opens the range page where there is one. Farragut, the Boise River WMA and Lemhi Hole archery ranges and Garden Valley publish no map point and have no pin.
