Deer Rifle Need Sighting In? Bossier Sheriff’s Range To Open
As they've done for a number of years, the Bossier Sheriff's Department will once again open the department's rifle range to the public on several days next month so that hunters can sight in their deer rifles.
The range will be open on these dates and times:
- September 14 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
- September 21 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
- September 28 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
The range features 12 shooting lanes with targets at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards.
Basic targets will be available at the range, but shooters will need to bring their own weapons and ammunition, since none will be available at the range. You will also need to bring your own hearing and eye protection.
"I am pleased to offer this service to our residents so they can sight in their rifles at our range in a safe environment, especially as we approach hunting season," said Sheriff Whittington.
The Rifle Range is located just south of the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office Training Academy (formerly North Louisiana Criminal Justice Academy) on Old Plain Dealing Road approximately 12 miles from the town of Benton.
The Rifle Range can be located in the Bossier Sheriff app under the Resource Map tab at the bottom of the front page. You can find the Bossier Sheriff app in the Apple app and Android stores now.
Although you do not need to register, you can always contact the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office Training Academy at 965-3525 for more information.
