The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is marking 250 years of American marksmanship with a celebration of its outdoor shooting ranges across the state.
The facilities cater to a wide range of disciplines, including sporting clays, archery, and precision handgun and long-gun shooting. They provide opportunities for both beginners and experienced shooters.
Whether preparing for hunting season, sharpening skills, or trying out a firearm for the first time, enthusiasts can find a suitable range nearby. The department encourages residents to visit their website to locate the closest shooting facility: https://www.mdwfp.com/enforcement-education/mdwfp-shooting-facilities
