At a Glance

With its sprawling lanes of modern indoor range equipment, Barracks 616 beams as one of western Michigan's premier shooting facilities. Guests can shoot seven days a week under the supervision of range safety officer while enjoying the comforts of noise cancelling insulation and an air filtration system. The training at Barracks 616 is also grounded in experience—two lifetimes' worth, to be exact. Instructors Dan Boelens and Garret Clark have both been shooting for decades. Mr. Boelens served in the US Army and National Guard and worked 25 years in law enforcement. Mr. Clark, on the other hand, is an avid hunter who has trained extensively in firearms use and home defense, and he holds NRA certification both as an instructor and range officer. Together, the duo and their crew draw on their respective backgrounds during private instruction and group classes, including a basic-handgun session.
