Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks proposes to utilize Pittman Robertson funds to remove and rebuild the firing line shelter at the Whittecar Rifle & Pistol Range. The range, located in Hamilton, Montana, is a premier shooting range offering a wide range of facilities and services to both qualified members and the public. Some amenities have been updated throughout the years, however, the shelter covering the 300-yard firing line needs replacement. This project would include removing the existing structure, benches, and concrete pad. FWP would then facilitate the construction of a new foundation and updated structure.
FWP is also proposing an updated lease agreement with Whittecar Rifle & Pistol Club (Club). The current leasing and sub-leasing structure is inadequate for efficient communication and management of the shooting range. The proposed lease update would simplify communications between FWP and the Club, but there would not be significant changes to the daily operations of the shooting range.
