PIERRE, S.D. – Shooters in the Sioux Falls area will have some chances to sight in their rifles and pattern their shotguns for South Dakota’s upcoming hunting seasons. The supervised opportunities are scheduled at the Rollings Game Production Area (GPA) near Hudson.

"People have a legitimate need to practice their shooting skills and sight in their rifle prior to the hunting seasons, but target shooting has caused considerable damage on GPAs, such as destruction of signs, fences and littering," said Game, Fish and Parks Regional Habitat Manager Steve Vanderbeek of Sioux Falls. The Rollings GPA near Hudson has a shooting range on it, and we wanted to make that available to people and hopefully reduce the problems we have had with target shooting on other areas."

People interested will have from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the following dates:

The Rollings GPA is located on the north side of Hudson. From Canton, drive south on I35 to County Road I52, then East to Hudson.

The Rollings GPA will be closed to hunting on the open range dates.
