PGC Range Locations
Pioneer owns two properties, each with their own distinct personalities and uses: McBride, the outdoor range, and Brickyard, the indoor range.
McBride (Outdoor Range) map below
Pioneer has owned the property in northwest Johnson County which we refer to as the McBride property for many years since outdoor shooting ceased at Brickyard. Our members carry the same traditions to McBride. This range is so named in honor of one of the early members who was an avid shooter, honorable, forward thinking, civic minded citizen deserving of such remembrance. May he rest in peace.
The McBride range is comprised of 380 acres of rolling land in northwestern Johnson County Missouri. It is located north of U.S. 50 highway about 20 miles east of Lee’s Summit. Access is also available by exiting I-70 at Bates City and traveling south. Ample space is available for the anticipated growth of new shooting sports. This property is the premiere comprehensive shooting range in the area. The various firing ranges are separated from each other so that all sports can operate simultaneously with no interference from each other. This range is available 365 days per year during daylight hours. All weather roads and a new and modern clubhouse complete with kitchen, showers, RV hook-ups, and a telephone are provided at that range for the convenience of the members and their guests. Some of the shooting sports available for your enjoyment at the McBride range are:
Shotgun: A trap range complete with a new remote control electric trap, manual traps, and ample space for informal clay target shooting.
Small-bore: Silhouette.
Black powder: Firing line with covered concrete benches and ranges to 200 yards.
Cowboy Action: Multiple ranges available.
Small-bore rifle: Outdoor facilities with covered firing points.
High-power: CMP matches on the 200 yard range.
Benchrest: Covered firing points with stable concrete benches and ranges to 200 yards.
Pistol: All disciplines
General Use: Firing Points are provided for the casual shooter with covered concrete benches. Ranges are up to 200 yards.

The Brickyard facility is primarily an indoor facility for use with pistols of no more than moderate power and .22 rimfire rifles. Centerfire pistols firing a cartridge of no more than 450 ft-lbs. muzzle energy are permitted. The club meeting room is at Brickyard.
Scheduled activities have range priority, otherwise:
Rimfire rifles have priority on Tuesday and Thursday's and
EVEN calendar days on weekends.
Pistols have priority on Monday and Wednesday.
Friday is airgun priority. This does not mean that only
rifles or pistols can be fired on those days, it just means that if a shooter of the
priority discipline is present, that shooter controls the range and course of fire no
matter who was there first.
Brickyard is lighted, heated, and available 24 hours per day. The meeting room is not to be used for cleaning or maintenance of firearms.
