Dear Montana Shooting Range Operators,

The Montana Shooting Sports Association will endeavor to compile information about all shooting ranges in Montana.  This information will be made available to the public on MSSA's Website.

The survey asking for information about Montana Ranges is BOTH pasted below, and available as a downloadable MSWord file, for your convenience.  You may copy what is below or download the MSWord file - whichever works best for you.

If you have any question about whether a range about which you can provide information has already been covered, send me an email at mssa -AT- mtssa.org (replace the " -AT- " with "@" to use this email address - done to defeat trolling spambots).

To get the completed information to me, email it to the email address above.

Thanks loads for your help.

Best wishes,

Gary Marbut, president
Montana Shooting Sports Association
