description
Located on a 360-acre property in Searsboro, Iowa, Big Springs Shooting Complex combines recreational shooting with structured, instructor-led experiences. The facility features both pistol and rifle ranges, including a covered 100-yard range for zeroing and a 500-yard rifle range suited for honing mid-range accuracy.
Big Springs is known for its themed events and guided sessions, offering AR-15 and pistol shooting, as well as a lighthearted “Zombie Apocalypse” scenario. For group outings and corporate retreats, the Long-Range Confidence Course allows shooters to engage targets from 250 to 500 yards with coaching from on-site instructors — a practical entry point into long-range shooting.
While the range includes covered benches and structured experiences, there’s no public mention of prone positions, steel targets, or competitive match setups. Memberships are offered but not publicly detailed. The range welcomes public access, especially for events and corporate groups, though reservations may be required.
Big Springs is best suited for casual shooters, beginners, and organizations seeking a safe and private setting to practice mid-range marksmanship.
