About the venue
Public outdoor commercial shooting range in Avoca, NY (Steuben County). Accommodates rifle, pistol, shotgun, and skeet shooting.
Restrictive — confirm rules carefully
STATUTORILY airgun = firearm — DEC ranges apply firearm rules to airguns
Evidence NY DEC hunting regulations explicitly define: "Firearm - all guns, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, BB and pellet guns." "Air gun - a firearm that uses spring or compressed air... .17 caliber or larger and produces a muzzle velocity of at least 600 fps." DEC ranges operate under firearm rules — airguns included.
State-level restrictions NYC has separate licensing requirements (NYC Administrative Code § 10-131) — outside NYC, DEC framework applies.
This describes New York state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
Always call ahead.
Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
