As the above events are annual events, we are able to plan for these in advance. However, we also have groups requesting use of the range during the year. Again, some of the events are open to the public and some are not. Be sure to keep checking the the range hours for changes and additions. If your group/ organization would like to reserve a portion or the entire range for an event, contact Public Relations and include a contact person and a idea of the number of people, when you would like the event to take place, and what kind of event you would like to have.>

Events do not start until after the time change in March with the Menomonie High School Trap Team practicing on Wednesdays.
