AUGUSTA, Maine – The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is scheduling new hours for use of the Fryeburg Shooting Area, located on the Major Gregory Sanborn Wildlife Management Area.
Starting on Tuesday, July 26, the area will be temporarily closed and will reopen only during periods when an approved range safety officer is present. The department is currently developing a schedule of time periods when the shooting area will be open for public use. As soon as it is available, the schedule will be posted on the Department’s webpage and at the entrance to the shooting area. NRA-certified Range Safety Officers that are interested in volunteering their time to monitor shooting activity at the range can contact Craig Gerry, MDIFW Shooting Range Coordinator, at 650-4914 for more information.
