- 65 conservation areas carry a range on MDC’s list, and none is left out below.
- Range officers and $5 fees belong to the 5 staffed centres: Andy Dalton range, August A. Busch range, Jay Henges range, Lake City range and Parma Woods range.
- The other 56 unstaffed ranges are free and open from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset, under MDC area rule 3 CSR 10-11.150.
- On these areas target shooting is allowed only at the designated range, alcohol is banned on ranges and their parking lots, and groups of more than 10 need a special use permit from the area manager.
- Two areas (James T. Blair IV Archery Range Complex (August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area) and Rocky Fork Lakes CA range) follow posted hours; two more (Lake Showme (Memphis) Shooting Range and Trenton Area Trap and Skeet Range) are not MDC-owned, so their owners set the terms.
- 5 further public ranges come from their operators’ own websites: Forest Park Archery Range (City of St. Louis Parks), Jim Edwards Archery Park (City of Arnold), Landahl Park Archery Range (Jackson County Parks + Rec), Mark Twain Lake Shooting Range (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and Springfield Archery Complex at the Davis Property (Springfield-Greene County Park Board).
MDC range areas from the MDC conservation-area search (shooting range filter), range types and ADA flags from the MDC Shooting Ranges GIS layer, staffed centre hours and fees from MDC shooting ranges and each area page; other operators from their own websites. Checked October 29, 2026.
