Target shooting indicator

Rifle Range Shot Locator

14″ metal device with a white shot indicator for use on the rifle range. Used in the butts to indicate where the shot landed on or compared to the target.

Holiday closure

We will be closed on Saturday, July 25, 2026 and will reopen on Sunday, July 26, 2026.

While the museum is closed, our Digital Guided Tour is still open. It is the best way to explore the museum from home, with stories and context for selected displays.

You can also take our 360° Virtual Tour for a visual walk-through of the museum rooms and display cases.

We will try to respond to your email messages as soon as possible.
