Farragut Shooting Range Center to reopen

By T.J. Ross

After being closed for most of January due to various factors, the Farragut Shooting Range Center will re-open to the public on Friday.

The perfect storm of staffing turnover, machinery failures and excessive snow and ice necessitated a nearly month-long closure of the range to the public.

Thanks to the hard work of volunteer Range Safety Officers and Idaho Fish and Game staff, the range has been cleaned up and is now ready for the public to use.

During the winter months, the range is open Friday through Sunday each week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Any scheduled closings due to reservations or unscheduled closings due to weather or other are posted on our website and on Google.

The range features year-round public access to 50, 100 and 200-yard ranges plus trap and archery shooting for $5 per day.

You can reserve the range for $53 per day if your group numbers 10 or more individuals. You can also reserve the onsite Hunter Education Classroom for another $53 per day.

If you have any questions about the Farragut Shooting Range Center or if you would like to schedule a reservation, call the range office, 208-683-1499 or call the Panhandle Regional office, 208-769-1414.
