Mississippi Department of Wildlife Offers Shooting Ranges to Beat Summer Heat

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is promoting its shooting facilities as a way for residents to stay active during the summer months. The agency suggests that while fishing may slow down in the heat, shooting ranges remain open for various activities.

Visitors can try breaking clays, ringing steel targets, shooting pistols, or even trying archery for the first time. The facilities cater to all skill levels and interests, providing safe environments for outdoor recreation.

The department encourages people to find their closest shooting range by visiting their website at https://www.mdwfp.com/enforcement-education/shooting-facilities. The initiative aims to promote responsible shooting and outdoor activity throughout the summer season.
