Events will be held April 2 and April 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
STEVENS POINT - The Dewey Shooting Range will offer a couple of special early season openings — the first one being his weekend.
The range will be open on Saturday and April 17 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day.
“We’ve been asked by spring turkey hunters more and more over recent years to have the range open prior to turkey season so they could site in their guns,” said Gary Speckmann, director for the Portage County Parks Department.
The 25-yard, 50-yard, 100-yard and 200-yard ranges will all be open as will the ten station field archery course.
The range opens for the regular season on May 15. The range will be open only on Sundays through July from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The shooting range is located approximately six miles north of Stevens Point at 3001 Willow Springs Drive. For more information, please contact the Portage County Parks Department at 715-346-1433.
