Roush Lake to dedicate shooting range August 25
J. Edward Roush Lake will hold a dedication ceremony Thursday, August 25 at 10 a.m. to mark the opening of a new shooting range.
The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking festivities. Light refreshments follow the ceremony at the range. On the day of the dedication, the range will be open free of charge to the general public after the ceremony.
"With 33 stations for shooting rifle and pistol, accessible
restrooms, and a voice-activated trap range that can accommodate four shooters, this new shooting range is sure to draw marksmen from miles around," said Kyle Hupfer, director of the Indiana Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). "We're delighted to be able to offer this state-of-the-art facility to our fellow Hoosiers."
Special speakers for the ceremony include: Hupfer; Robyn Thorson, regional director of federal assistance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; State Representative Dan Leonard and Rose Meldrum, director of the Huntington County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Dan Bortner, director of the Division of State Parks and Reservoirs, will serve as master of
ceremonies.
A partnership between Roush and the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service's Federal Assistance program led to construction of this facility. Roush property manager Jeff Reed said, "We are excited about the opportunities
that are available for the public here at Roush Lake and the increased visitation this feature will provide for Huntington County."
The shooting range at J. Edward Roush Lake is located east of Highway 5 on Division Road in Huntington County. Regular hours are Tuesdays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hearing and eye protection are
required and may be purchased, along with targets and ammunition, from the Range Master's Headquarters at the range.
The normal fees are $4 for adults and $2 for those 16 and under. An annual range pass is available for $80. The range pass is not interchangeable with regular property entrance permits.
For more information, an agenda for the dedication or directions to the range, call J. Edward Roush Lake at 260-468-2165.
