Rowdy’s Range is St. George’s one-stop shop for everything firearms-related, including shooting supplies, ammunition, gun parts, accessories, gun rentals, firearms training classes and more. As the area’s only indoor shooting range and a fully licensed FFL firearms dealer, the business has whatever you need to expand your arsenal.

After more than a decade of serving Southern Utah customers, Rowdy’s Range is now under new ownership. Shawn Wood and Paul Gelderloos, both of whom previously served as the range’s manager, took over the business with the aim of creating an enhanced experience for local firearms enthusiasts while offering the most competitive prices on firearms and accessories in town.

“We’re still providing the same professional service we’ve always given to the St. George area, but with more,” Wood said. “We don’t want to be just a range and gun store; we want to be a destination.”

Rowdy’s Range welcomes the community to their grand re-opening celebration on Saturday, April 6. The range, which is located at 610 Industrial Road in St. George, will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with food trucks and vendors on hand. Attendees will have a chance to meet the new owners and enjoy the upgraded amenities, which include the addition of a shooter’s lounge.

“We’ve been in full remodel mode,” Gelderloos said. “We’ve given the entire building a facelift. It now has a fresh, modern industrialized look.”

There’s also plenty of giveaways planned, and two lucky customers will go home with a new firearm – either a Glock 19 MOS Gen 5 handgun or a Henry U.S. Survival .22-caliber rifle. The winner of the bowling pin shooting competition will receive a custom Browning Buck Mark .22-caliber pistol.

Rowdy’s Range is a six-lane, 25-yard range with the distinction of being the only indoor shooting venue within 100 miles. Customers will find an extensive selection of guns of all makes and models, as well as ammunition, accessories, optics and parts.

As a 100% veteran-owned business, Rowdy’s Range proudly supports the military along with law enforcement and first responders. Gelderloos retired to St. George after 24 years in the Air Force.

Their mission is simple: to provide the best brands backed by expert service and build a thriving community of gun enthusiasts. Stop by the grand re-opening and experience the Rowdy’s Range difference for yourself.
