(FOX 2) - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is bringing a mobile BB gun range to state parks this summer as part of a free firearm safety education program.
Those who visit the mobile range will receive firearm safety and target shooting instruction before having the chance to shoot a BB gun on the range. Pheasants Forever education and outreach coordinator and hunter safety instructor Matt Lefler will guide these lessons.
No reservations are needed and the instruction and shooting are free, but a recreation passport will be required to access the state parks.
