Historically, the Babcock Webb Shooting Range did not provide Range Safety Officer (RSO) oversight.  During this time, the established range hours were from sunrise to sunset each day except for Monday and Thursday when the Department of Corrections cleaned the facility – requiring that it be closed to the public until 10 a.m.

Now that there are RSO’s at the facility, we need to establish specific hours of operation.  Previously, FWC staff established a working group to provide input on the best solutions.  The following is what this group proposed.  Please provide us with your input on each of the working groups suggestions.

The new proposals for times are:

During Daylight Saving Time (DST) - 7:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; and 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.(Note: DST begins the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November)

During Eastern Standard Time (EST) - 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; and 10:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.(Note: EST begins the first Sunday in November and ends on the second Sunday in March)

Days of closure:

January 1st
Thanksgiving
Friday after Thanksgiving (until noon)
December 25th
