The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department’s (GF&P) long-planned shooting sports complex in the Black Hills has a name.

The title sponsor of the recreation and competitive shooting facility underway in Meade County will be called the Pete Lien & Sons Shooting Sports Complex, according to GF&P, which announced this weekend that the Rapid City-based minerals, mining and development company is among the largest private contributors to the project that broke ground in late 2023.

“We are out to build a world-class shooting sports complex, and we are doing it — we’re doing it right here in South Dakota,” GF&P Commissioner Kevin Robling said in an interview with The Dakota Scout.
