September and October are the months when squirrel seasons open, big game hunters seek out bighorn sheep, and hunters head afield.
The key to success is often pre-trip preparation. This includes practice at a gun range and checking your rifle, shotgun or handgun and its partner scope when attached. Some hunters like to re-check firearms when they land at distant airports and before the hunt begins.
One of the quickest ways to find a gun range when you need one is a visit to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s website: www.wheretoshoot.org. Here you can search by state, zip code, and narrow your search by specifying a range that permits handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc.
A range could be closer than you think. Make a search and take a look.
