Backroad 288 Outdoor Park and Range is a 43-acre woodland outdoor course in Southeast Alabama designed for outdoor sportsmen and shooting competitions, including tactical biathlons and a unique "Sporting 3-Gun" course. The course is laid out similarly to a golf course, spanning 2.5 miles with 18 distinct "holes" or ranges, including rifle, shotgun, and archery setups.
Before arriving at the range, all users must physically visit the Sumiton Police Department to sign a liability waiver and check out a physical gate key.
Non-residents are required to possess and present a valid Alabama State Non-Resident Hunting License or a State Wildlife Management Area (WMA) license to utilize the grounds.
All fired rounds must impact exclusively within the bottom five feet of the protective dirt embankment; targets must be placed to ensure compliance with this height restriction.
