About this range Moderate evidence

Stiles Creek Shooting Range is a public shooting range associated with Alaska's ADF&G state-agency range network. ADF&G runs hunter education proficiency testing using air rifles at 33 feet ('four out of five shots within two inches with an air rifle at 33-feet'). The three primary ADF&G-operated ranges (Fairbanks, Juneau, Rabbit Creek) have explicit air rifle infrastructure. ADF&G's statewide hunter education curriculum incorporates air rifles as standard equipment, supporting airgun-positive practice at affiliated ranges.

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.
