- The Summer Haven Range is Closed for All Use until Further Notice. The site is a construction site at the present time. We have had major delays due to weather. The Range is NOT complete nor available to be used. The site is posted with Large signage stating the property is off limits unless a Department of IFW RSO is on site. Due to cold weather that has set in and the stage we are in with construction; the range will remain closed until Completed in the Spring of 2019. WE ask that people respect the property and the upgrades to the range by not illegally using the facility. Damages done to the range will only cause further and future setbacks in the use of this range. The property is protected with security cameras. Thank you for your patience and respect in advance.
