South Dakota shooting ranges are now protected from liability lawsuits for injuries caused by obvious, inherent risks like loud noise, projectile discharge, equipment malfunctions (that the range doesn't own), uneven terrain, snow or ice, and natural debris. This law applies to all shooting ranges—whether public or private, on public or private land—and includes law enforcement ranges and archery facilities.
