About This State Wildlife Area

State Wildlife Areas are critical habitat areas for Colorado’s wildlife. Sportspeople’s license and recreational user pass fees pay for these parcels of land, which are managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife employees for the benefit of our wildlife. A valid hunting or fishing license OR SWA pass is required for everyone 16 or older to visit most SWAs, and visitors should check current hunting, fishing and land use regulations when planning to visit a State Wildlife Area.

The Bayfield Lions Club Art Davis range is a free public gun range located at 4499 County Road 223, Durango, Colorado and can be found on Google using that address.

The ranges are used by 4H groups, clients from local dude ranches and a ladies day shoot twice a year. The rifle/pistols range is closed periodically when used by law enforcement for their qualifications. It is estimated the ranges are used by 3000 to 4000 shooters a year and use is especially heavy in late September and October for the hunting season.

Although the gun ranges are free, they are fully supported by your donations and receive no monies from outside sources. There is a donation pipe located at both the rifle/pistol range and one at the shotgun range and your donations are greatly appreciated to cover the many expenses necessary to the operation and maintenance of the ranges.

Leave No Trace

When visiting state lands, remember to practice the seven Leave No Trace principles. Travel and park on durable surfaces, including established parking spots and campsites, and stay on areas of rock, gravel, and dry grasses or snow. Remember to pack out what you packed in. When shooting is permitted on a property, pick up your spent shells, target remnants, clays and carry our trash or anything else you brought with you.
