Range is open!

We are happy to announce the range is now open, the new lock is on with this years combination. The road has firmed up but still has some soft spots. Let's try to minimize ruts by not driving in the same tracks as others and slowing down in the soft areas. Have fun out there.

Range is currently closed

The range is currently closed due to road conditions. 
A lot of work was put into the road last year to smooth it out and it is already badly rutted by people trying to run out to the range.  There is too much water and the road is extremely soft.  The Forest Service is going out tomorrow and may re-close the road completely.
It looks like probably at least a week before the road is in shape.
Thanks for your patience, we are all eager to out there,
WYSSA

Charging Bear Education

West Yellowstone Shooting Sports association is excited to announce we will be having a charging bear education day at the shooting range on June 16th, 12 noon. The Southwest Montana Bear Education Working Group is bringing their charging bear simulator.
Join us for an afternoon of practice and skill-building for bear encounters. Learn how to use bear spray, how to react to an encounter, and how to prevent a bear encounter. We'll also be going over special suggestions for hunting in bear country.
There is a short bear education talk then you will be able to practice against the simulator with inert bear spray. They will also have some mounted bears and skins along with information to check out. This program is open to the public and free of charge. If you like to hike, hunt, fish or just wander in the woods, this a great program to attend. Directions to the range are on the Contact Us page.

 The range will be closed to shooting activities until the event is over. 

We look forward to seeing you there,
WYSSA
