Every year the Vermont National Guard opens the Ethan Allen Firing Range to local hunters, and firearm enthusiasts so they may test the accuracy of their firearms on known distance ranges. Providing access to a firing range allows hunters and firearm enthusiasts to hone their shooting skills and improve accuracy, which can contribute to safer and more responsible firearm use. Having a controlled and supervised environment like a firing range promotes safe firearm handling and responsible gun ownership. It's an opportunity for individuals to receive guidance and education on firearm safety from experienced professionals. Opening the range to the local community fosters a positive relationship between the military and civilians. It can help build trust and understanding among different groups and create a sense of community involvement. For hunters, practicing on known distance ranges can help them prepare for hunting seasons and ensure that their firearms are properly sighted in for ethical and humane hunting.
