How Does the Pittman-Robertson Act Benefit You?

Enacted in 1937, the Pittman-Robertson Act channels funds from excise taxes on firearms, archery equipment, and ammunition into wildlife conservation and public shooting range development.These excise taxes are paid by the manufacturers. This essential legislation, supported by the Office of Conservation Investment, partners with state agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to enhance public shooting facilities, ensuring safe, inclusive, and accessible shooting opportunities nationwide.

The range is closed to the public on Monday and Tuesday and on all official state holidays, and may also close without prior notice due to inclement weather or other incidents that prevent safe operations of the range.  Shooters must check in no later than 3:45 p.m. to be allowed to shoot.  All shooters will cease fire at 4:10 p.m.
