Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is conducting a public scoping effort on a proposal to build a shooting range on state trust lands near Logan in Gallatin County. Logan is an unincorporated community between Three Forks and Manhattan.
The proposed shooting range would include a rifle range with targets out to 600 yards and separate lanes for pistols, shotguns and short-range shooting. The project would require an easement for land managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, located along the I-90 corridor approximately two miles outside of Logan.
Public scoping provides an opportunity for the public to share concerns or questions while the project is still in the planning phase. These comments will help determine public interest, identify potential issues and illuminate options for the project moving forward.
The public can comment through April 23. Comments can be emailed to the shooting range development program manager Sam Hoggatt at Samuel.hoggatt@mt.gov, or be mailed to FWP c/o Logan Shooting Range Proposal, 1420 E. 6th Ave., Helena, MT 59601.
The entire public scoping notice can be found online.
