Shooting Regulations

The Division of Wildlife operates five Class A ranges. All persons age 18 and older shooting on Class A ranges must purchase a Shooting Range Permit which is available at all hunting and fishing license outlets and on the Internet. Permits are not sold at the shooting ranges.

Shooters age 17 and under are not required to purchase a permit, but must be accompanied** by and directly monitored by an adult (age 18 years or older) holding a valid Shooting Range Permit.
