The new 3-D archery range opens on August 17 at the Sharonville shooting range. Stop in and hone your archery skills for the fall hunting seasons.
Modern restrooms are coming to the Ortonville, Pontiac Lake, and Sharonville shooting ranges to make them more user friendly for shooters! Construction will be done in stages at the three ranges, beginning the week of August 19 at Ortonville, continuing at Pontiac Lake, and then at Sharonville. We expect the work to be completed in the fall.
The Sharonville shooting range will be open on Labor Day, September 2.
With this cool weather lately, you probably started thinking about the fall hunting seasons. Now is the time to sign up for a hunter safety class when offerings are plentiful. Search for a class close to home or sign up for an online class at www.michigan.gov/huntereducation. Remember, you can purchase hunting and fishing licenses online 24-hours a day or make a reservation at Michigan's 101 state park and recreation areas at www.michigan.gov/campgroundreservations.
