It is a wonderful day to journey back in time and there experience the crafts, skills and lifestyle of days gone by where fur trappers, traders and native Indians lived.
Guests are admitted free of charge to witness live demonstrations of fire making with flint and steel, weaving on a loom, Hawk & Knife Throwing, black powder guns, tomahawks, field cannon.

***River Oaks Range Preamble ***
Safety First Shooting Association is a 501(c)4 nonprofit corporation which operates the River Oaks Range on private property. The Association was formed to promote Firearms Training and Safety to the Community. To this end we are organized to provide training opportunities and venues to support Firearms classes, public service events, various outreach programs to the general public, and educational opportunities related to the shooting sports. While we do operate a shooting range, our purpose is to provide education and training. Membership is not required to participate in the education and training opportunities presented by this Association. As an Association, Members are encouraged to attend any or all training’s they desire or have an interest in. All education and training opportunities take precedence over general range activities. While our intent is to keep class fees to a minimum, some course materials will have a small cost associated, although this may be alleviated by grants and donations to the education aims of the Association.
This Association is dedicated to the promotion of the shooting sports and firearms safety. Our membership provides specific training in the use of firearms and firearms safety, while conducting classes and events in several shooting sport disciplines for the general public and our community.
The range and all it’s activities are run by “VOLUNTEER” Range & Non-Range Members,Board Members and Staff
