NEW CASTLE – DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife announced today that repairs and upgrades to the rifle-pistol range at the Ommelanden Hunter Education Training Center will begin Sept. 3. The rifle-pistol range will be closed during construction until its anticipated reopening on Wednesday, Oct. 3.
Repairs and upgrades to the rifle-pistol range will involve replacing a damaged concrete floor, and installing a new drainage system, block wall and entryway. The improvements are part of upgrading the Ommelanden shooting range facility to better serve the Division’s shooting sports customers.
Trap and skeet fields and archery courses will not be impacted by these improvements and will remain open during regular operating days and hours available at Ommelanden Range.
