Nevada National Guard opening state’s first Army firing range

HAWTHORNE, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada National Guard says it will be opening the first Army qualified firing range in the state of Nevada.

The Guard will be opening the range on Friday in Hawthorne.

The new range will allow soldiers to meet military marksmanship standards without having to leave the state.

The Guard has sent more than 1,000 soldiers out of state to meet marksmanship standards since 2019, incurring substantial costs for travel, meals and lodging.

The $20 million depot will include 16 lanes for rifle training, 15 for pistol training four lanes for machine guns and seven buildings.
