BLANCHARDVILLE – Yellowstone Shooting Range, located just north of Fayette, west of Yellowstone Lake State Park, will reopen on Thursday, May 14, along with 7 other ranges in the state.

These ranges will be able to open with normal operational hours but with special conditions. Under Gov. Tony Evers Badger Bounce Back Plan the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is modifying current operations to maintain the safest environment for visitors and staff.

Social distancing requirements will be in place. Expect facilities to limit the number of shooters on the range to ensure social distancing.

According to the DNR, all visitors are encouraged to bring their own personal protective equipment such as facemasks, gloves and sanitizer with them. People waiting to utilize the range are asked to wait in their vehicles until space becomes available. Upon completion of the shooting activities all customers are encouraged to leave the property immediately to reduce lingering customers visiting with others. Maintaining the six-foot distancing and refraining from congregating in large groups is encouraged.
