Alabama Offers Free Range Days at Five Public Ranges

NSSF August Month Alabaman Free Shooting Range DaysDuring August, Alabama will offer free shooting at five public ranges, with free instruction, free ammo, plus eye and ear protection provided.

Here’s a program we like, and we wish more states conducted something similar. The state of Alabama is offering FREE Shooting this month at five public shooting ranges. The state will even provide targets, ammo, eye/ear protection, and FREE instruction. This is the kind of promotion that will help grow our sport. We commend Alabama’s state leaders.

During the FREE events, new shooters can work with certified instructors at five of the state’s most popular public shooting ranges: Barbour, Cahaba, Delta, Etowah, and Swan Creek. These ranges are primarily located in Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) throughout the state.
