Carson City Rifle and Pistol Range free to all users this Saturday
The Carson City Rifle and Pistol Range will be free to all users this Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the passage of the Question 18, the Quality of Life Initiative.
Q18 was passed in 1996 and led to an increase in the sales tax rate 1/4 of 1 percent ($0.0025) to fund the acquisition, development and maintenance of parks, open space, trails, and recreational facilities. A percentage of the funds used for recent improvements to the Rifle and Pistol Range came from the Quality of Life Initiative.
The range will be free admission during open hours from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Nevada Department of Wildlife will be on site with their Operation Game Thief trailer as well as Wild Wade's BBQ who will be offering lunch options all day long. The range will be fully staffed with NRA certified Range Safety Officers. Target stands will be available for use, but remember your paper targets to use on the stands.
For questions, contact Senior Park Ranger John Costello at JCostello@carson.org.
