The South Cushman Shooting Range, located within the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area in Fairbanks, Alaska, serves an estimated 100,000 users annually. It is particularly busy in August as hunters prepare for the season at the 300-yard rifle range. The range, managed by the Fairbanks North Star Borough, has undergone significant renovations to address safety and capacity issues, including the addition of protective berms, a new roof structure for inclement weather, ADA-compliant facilities, and refurbished shooting benches. These improvements were completed in August 2022, making the range safer and accessible for all ages and abilities.
