For archery enthusiasts, there’s a range with both static and 3-D targets, including a simulated tree platform.
Two media-equipped classrooms can accommodate 24 students each or be combined for a total of 48 students.
On-site, the Alaska Department of Fish and Games Hunter Information and Training (HIT) Program offers a plethora of classes for basic safety, shooting, hunting skills, firearms instruction for all levels, and more.
Youth shooting sports, clinics, and two Youth Shotgun Leagues are available.
