MAINTENANCE CLOSURE - JUN 10-15, 2026
Parking lot work is scheduled this week, starting tomorrow June 10, and we will need to close the parking lot and the range (no walk-in public use hours this week) as the project necessitates no traffic on the lot during phases of the work. We anticipate the parking lot to be open again by Tuesday, June 16 and for walk-in public use hours to resume next week. Hopefully, all goes well and the weather cooperates and the contractor can get in and do a quality job during this time frame.

Congratulations to all of the 2025 participants of the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program (MQP) administered at the Fairbanks Fish and Game Indoor Shooting Range (Hunter Education Indoor Range). Special acknowledgement to all who achieved Distinguished Expert level during the calendar year and to our 2025 firearm award winners! On Saturday, May 9, we had the pleasure of presenting the awards to the 2025 Firearm Award winners (shown in the image here).

Remember, 2026 is a brand-new qualification year. Start the MQP in 2026 and complete the Distinguished Expert level before the end of 2026 for an opportunity to be awarded a new R***r rifle (.22 Rifle Qual) or G***k pistol (Pistol Quals)!

To learn more, visit: https://aimcomm.org/web/mqp or inquire with a range staff member during Walk-in Public Use Hours at the range.

Thank you to G***K, R***r, Frontier Outfitters / Sentry Hardware / Woolly Rhino, V.F. Grace, the NRA - National Rifle Association of America, and the Alaska Interior Marksmanship Committee for your support of this program at the Fairbanks Fish and Game Indoor Range.

Are you ready for summer???

The last day of our 2025-2026 Regular Season is this Friday, May 8. We hope you are able to stop in this week during walk-in public use hours and get some target practice in! We've posted our 2026 Summer Season (begins Wed, May 13) schedule online at:
https://aimcomm.org/web/indoor-range. We will be closed Sat May 9 through Tue May 12, as we transition to our Summer Season.

What's up with this critter? A few summers ago, this furry visitor was discovered digging into the backfill dirt and chewing into the foam insulation along the foundation of the downrange section of the range. Some fruit and veggies succeeded in luring the adventurous rodent into a live trap and we were able to relocate to a more suitable venue. :-)

Last winter, local artist Steve Dean created a friendly grizzly bear ice sculpture that greeted visitors to the range. This winter, once again thanks to generous range patrons (Debbie González and Ulises Gonzalez), Steve is busy carving an impressive Wood Bison that stands tall near the range entrance from College Rd. Thank you to Steve and all involved in making this unique sculpture possible. Learn more about Wood Bison and the effort to restore these animals to the Alaska landscape at the following links:
