About the venue
DNR shooting range listed in Wisconsin DNR public ranges directory
Explicitly addressed — state law or agency policy names airguns directly
EXPLICITLY airgun-positive — DNR rules group "firearms or air guns" together
Evidence WI DNR rules at NR 45.095 explicitly regulate "use of firearms or air guns on state-owned lands... using department-designated target ranges." WI Act 115 (2024) defined airguns as parallel to firearms; opens all firearm hunting seasons to airguns.
State-level restrictions Standard range rules apply; Columbia County and other counties require designated ranges only.
This describes Wisconsin state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
Always call ahead.
Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
