Glastonbury Connecticut Public Shooting Range

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Pattern in your Turkey Shotgun loads now to increase your odd's this spring.

The Glastonbury Shooting Range is located in the Meshomasic State Forest in Glastonbury and has been in operation since 1980.

Federal funding for site improvements, range equipment and seasonal staffing is provided through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program, commonly referred to as the Pittman-Robertson Act (more info). Connecticut receives a special allocation of federal funding that can be used for the construction, operation, maintenance and enhancement of public target and shooting ranges.

The Glastonbury Range will be open weekends for public use from April 7 through November 25, 2018.

Special Provisions for Spring Turkey Hunters
NEW! On the weekends of April 14-15 and April 21-22, 2018, range hours will be extended for spring turkey hunters to pattern their shotguns. Participants must arrive at the range by 2:00 PM and show a valid 2018 Resident Game Bird Conservation Stamp. Reservations for this special time slot are NOT accepted or required (walk-in only).
