The Hank Harmon Public Range (HHPR) will close from Monday, April 28 through mid-July for repairs and upgrades. No shooting is permitted during the closure. Violators will be trespassed and may face fines and penalties.

Upgrades will include replacing the wooden wall with a dirt berm, resurfacing the ranges, installing all-new shooting benches, improving ADA access, repairing the building, relocating shipping containers to expand parking, paving the lot, and installing new signage on-site and along the highway.

The long side of the range will be open to the public from Friday, April 25 through Sunday, April 27 for a final weekend of shooting before the extended closure begins.

Other shooting ranges available during the closure include the Juneau Gun Club, located at 5680 Montana Creek Road, which offers public shotgun-only access on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Wednesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. Visit juneaugunclub.org for details.
