After being closed for renovations, the South Cushman Shooting Range will reopen to the public on August 26, just in time for Moose season.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - At 8:00 a.m. Friday, August 26, the South Cushman Shooting Range in Fairbanks will reopen to the public after months of closure for renovations.
Included in the changes are ADA compliant sidewalks that connect the pistol and log gun ranges, ADA accessible paths for the long gun range, and three berms that separate the long gun ranges. These three berms include “two 8 foot side berms and a 10 foot center berm” according to Trisha Levasseur, an employee of the Dept. of Parks and Recreation.
Much of that concern comes from the previous conditions that existed at the facility. Prior to the renovations, the range had been subject to unsafe firearms handling and improper target use resulting in layers of garbage being left on the range, while some facility users were shooting explosive Tannerite.
