Shooting Wire

The Apalachicola Shooting Range in the heart of the Apalachicola National Forest will be closed for repairs Nov. 16-17.

The range, open to those who want to shoot pistols and rifles, is located next to Forest Road 305. The U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission cooperatively make the range available for use by the public.

In addition, the range is normally closed to public use the fourth Saturday of each month for hunter safety classes. In November, however, the range will also be closed the third Saturday, Nov. 21.
