Activities & tokens

Beyond the main line

Tokens are sold at the clubhouse front desk and collected by the RSO at the start of each round — RSOs never handle cash. Items marked “+ daily fee” are add-ons; the others stand alone with no daily admission fee.

Rental add-ons

RSOs, steel and targets

Every rental requires a non-shooting, certified Range Safety Officer (RSO) — one per 15 participants. Bring your own RSO* or hire one from MGAC**.

*When using your own RSO, a certificate of insurance must be provided. Other restrictions apply; see the Range Reservation FAQ.
**Rental requests and MGAC RSO bookings require at least 30 days' notice before the event date.

Clean-up deposit (refundable)$200After rental or shooting activities are completed, all brass and trash must be collected and placed in the appropriate bins. Return steel targets and any other gear or equipment, if applicable. A club RSO must verify that clean-up is complete before the club manager can refund the $200 deposit.

Bringing a class? Instructors provide credentials, a $1M certificate of liability insurance naming Manatee County Gun & Archery Club, Inc., a one-page program of instruction, and an attendee list so waivers can be verified. Full requirements are in the Range Reservation FAQ.
