SHOOTING SPACE STILL AVAILABLE AT RANGE DAY

Hunters looking for a place to sight-in their firearms before the upcoming big game seasons are in luck. There is still space available at the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Range Day slated for Saturday, Sept. 6 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Desert Sportsman’s Rifle & Pistol Club.

A maximum of 20 shooters will be allowed each hour and each shooter can reserve at least one hour of range time. Club range officers and NDOW Hunter Education instructors will be on hand to ensure safety guidelines are followed and to assist shooters with the sight-in process if needed. To reserve a range time, shooters need to call Martin Olson at the NDOW Southern Region office, 486-5127 x 3501.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
