Big game hunters wanting to sight-in a pistol, rifle, shotgun or muzzleloader can do it for FREE between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. on that afternoon. Targets, sand bags and scope adjustment tools will be provided.
TWRA personnel and volunteer Hunter Education instructors will assist and provide range safety.
