Blue Trail Range is an outdoor and indoor shooting facility, open year-round. It is described as the best outdoor range in Connecticut, with great facilities including a nice new pavilion. The range is huge, offering a pistol range, a rifle range for longer distances, and a separate shotgun field for clay skeet shooting across the street. They also have a public indoor range for inclement weather. Shooters can bring their own firearms or rent from the on-site gun shop. The range offers a combo pass for an all-day stay at a reasonable price. Cease-fires occur every 30 minutes on the pistol and rifle ranges to change targets. The range marshalls are respectful and maintain a safe environment. Private lessons are available and staff are noted as very nice, helpful, informative, and great for first-timers. There is also a range cafe. A minor noted issue is that it can be hard to hear the ceasefire announcements on the outdoor range. Overall, it provides excellent service and is a recommended place for target practice.
Great staff and facility. Target stands (100yd) could you a refresh.

Best outdoor range I’ve been to in Connecticut. Facilities are great - the new pavilion is very nice. Unlike other outdoor public ranges - range Marshalls at Blue Trail are respectful of patrons while maintaining a safe environment for all in attendance.
