The Baker Draw Designated Shooting Area will be temporarily closed on March 3 from 9 a.m. through 2 p.m. while soil and water monitoring of the site takes place.

Forest Service staff monitors soil and water for lead levels about once a year as part of the overall management of this popular shooting area.

Recreational shooters are asked to avoid the shooting area during this time. Additional information about recreational shooting, including the rules and regulations, on the Grassland is available online at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/targetshooting. With recent dry weather, please take safety precautions and be mindful that hot projectiles and sparks from ricochets can ignite fires in dry grassy areas and in other dry brushy fuels. And remember, exploding targets are always illegal.
