Insurance for Shooting Ranges
Shooting ranges and rod and gun clubs enable gun owners to become proficient with their firearms. They’re ideal for hunters, law enforcement professionals, and others who want to practice with their weapons in a safe, controlled indoor or outdoor environment. But these facilities pose liability issues that can jeopardize owners’ and operators’ financial health.
Shooting ranges are a prime target for lawsuits because of their inherent liability risk. The obvious risks are injuries and death caused by misfire but there are plenty of other issues that shooting range owners need to be aware of. These risks include weather incidents, non-club members trespassing and getting hurt, slips and falls in the parking lot, and more.

What Does Shooting Range Liability Insurance Cover?
Shooting range liability insurance can cover indoor and outdoor ranges that have handguns, shotguns, rifles, bows and arrows, and other arms. In addition, shooting range liability insurance can cover rental equipment, training classes, instructors, events, competitions, and more.
We provide specialty customized insurance solutions through an all-in-one approach to fit your needs. Many insurance companies have exclusions that don’t give shooting ranges the coverage they need on their policy. XINSURANCE is here to fix that. We fill the gaps and cover the exclusions that you often see such as alleged assault and battery, active shooter, COVID-19, and more.
Your policy can include:
- Legal Liability: This is coverage for criminal allegations. This coverage pays for court-ordered judgments against you and the cost of your legal defense if an injured party decides to sue you. Examples of claims this insurance covers include mechanical malfunctions, the dropping of a weapon, or when someone unknowingly leaves a round in a gun’s chamber.
- Commercial General Liability (CGL): A CGL plan is a broad form of liability insurance for businesses that provides coverage for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage stemming from your business operations. One example is when someone slips and falls on your property and suffers an injury. Accidental discharge would also be covered under the G/L which covers 3rd party bodily injury and 3rd party property damage.
- Personal Liability: This insurance offers liability protection for you — the rod and gun club owner — arising from your personal activities that cause injuries to or damages the property of others. It can cover personal firearm liability for individuals as well. We can also offer personal and firearm liability to anyone at the facility on a separate coverage.
- Firearms Liability: If you carry a properly registered concealed weapon, this insurance provides liability coverage should you need to use the firearm in a self-defense shooting.
- Alleged Sexual Abuse or Molestation: This form of liability coverage protects you and your employees against claims of sexual misconduct made by a member or guest while on your property.
- Alleged Assault and Battery: As a shooting range owner, you could be held liable for shootings, fights, and similar incidents that occur at your facility. This insurance protects you against lawsuits stemming from these events. You’ll need to purchase this coverage separately, as it is typically excluded under a CGL policy.
- Communicable Disease Coverage: Use this coverage to protect against claims of individuals contracting an infectious disease while on your property. It can also provide compensation if an outbreak forces you to suspend your business’s operations.
- True Umbrella: Our true umbrella can cover any gap, limitation, or exclusion in any other insurance policy in force.
