Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington will open the Bossier Sheriff’s Office rifle range to the public on three weekends in September so hunters can sight-in their rifles for hunting season.
The range, located at 2955 Old Plain Dealing Road in Plain Dealing, will be open on these dates and times:
- Sept. 14, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- • Sept. 21, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- • Sept. 28, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
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 can also bring their own paper targets.
You’ll need to bring your own rifles and ammunition, since none will be available at the range. You’ll also need to bring your own hearing and eye protection, but some will be available at the range if needed.
“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.
