DNR makes changes to shooting range hours

All shooting ranges operated by the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife will adjust their hours of operation during the months of January and February.

The ranges at the following fish and wildlife areas will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET or 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT, depending on location: Crosley, Deer Creek, J.E. Roush Lake, Jasper-Pulaski, Kingsbury, Pigeon River, Sugar Ridge, Tri-County, Wilbur Wright and Winamac.

This will not affect the hours of operation for archery ranges, which are open daily, sunrise to sunset at these properties.

Regular range hours will resume March 1: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET or 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT, depending on location, Wednesday through Sunday.

The Division of Fish & Wildlife strives to provide clean, safe ranges. The ranges are staffed by trained range safety officers and most charge no free. These ranges are great places to shoot the new gun you may have received over the holidays or to sight in your firearm for your next hunting outing.
