Find a Place to Shoot

Posted on September 21, 2012

September and October are the months when squirrel seasons open, big game hunters seek out bighorn sheep, and hunters head afield.

The key to success is often pre-trip preparation. This includes practice at a gun range and checking your rifle, shotgun or handgun and its partner scope when attached. Some hunters like to re-check firearms when they land at distant airports and before the hunt begins.

One of the quickest ways to find a gun range when you need one is a visit to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s website: www.wheretoshoot.org. Here you can search by state, zip code, and narrow your search by specifying a range that permits handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc.

A range could be closer than you think. Make a search and take a look.
