About this range Moderate evidence

Etowah Public Shooting Range is a public shooting range associated with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) state-agency range network. AL Admin Code 220-2-.126(c) takes a permissive approach allowing 'any legal firearm' on ADCNR ranges, which accommodates airgun activity. ADCNR's framework places Alabama among the airgun-positive state-agency jurisdictions.
