Sweetwater County archery and firearms ranges open and available for hunters

With rifle hunting season approaching fast - and archery hunting already open for pronghorn antelope in many areas - the Sweetwater County Recreation Board is recommending that hunters take advantage of the county’s firearms and archery ranges to check and sight in their hunting weapons before the last-minute rush begins. Speaking on behalf of the Recreation Board, Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says the Sweetwater County Archery Complex is located about nine miles southwest of Rock Springs.






The archery complex features a 28-position hunter’s round, a 28-position N.F.A.A. field round, a third 28-position round, and a basic practice range.






There is no charge to use either the archery or firearms ranges.  Both ranges are available for walk-in use from dusk to dawn seven days a week, and a range officer is on duty at the firearms range Tuesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
