Are shops and ranges open on labor day?

[HamsterStyle]

Being new to the scene, I am curious to find out if the ranges and shops are open on Monday or if they close for the holiday.

Thanks

I would think that the privately owned businesses would be on an individual basis, however I'm pretty sure the public ranges will be closed.

I hope so! I plan on going shopping.... I need some parts for my new-to-me Marlin, maybe a cheap scope, and ammo (lots of ammo).

You'll have to call and find out!!

If *I* were a retailer, I'd be open. A day when most folks don't have to work generally means more traffic for retail.

Public Ranges... Who knows.

State Parks themselves will be open, but who knows if the associated ranges will be.

I think that most DNR ranges that are closed on Monday, are open if it is a Monday holiday.....

Link to the DNR ranges (& looks like some should be open): DNR: Shooting Range Hours

Its looking like I may make the trip to crosley with my oldest son. New question. I have never been to a range. Do I just show up rifle in hand holding a couple boxes of ammo and start shooting? I assume I need to bring my own targets. Do I need to bring something to attach them to? Any other range etiquette I should know about? Obviously glasses and hearing protection.

Some sort of rest is usually helpful. A spotting scope if your shooting a rifle is really helpful. Usually there's a list of range rules prominently posted you will need to read, most are about the same from range to range and mostly common sense but sometimes there is a few things different. Keep a pretty close eye on what's going on around you because you just never know.
