The Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center was constructed on the Bois D' Arc Conservation Area and opened for business in February 1995. Originally part of the Wildlife Division of the Department, the facility was called the Bois D' Arc Shooting Range. Shortly thereafter, the supervision of the Range was moved to the Protection Division. In 1996, a dedication ceremony was held and the facility was officially renamed The Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Training Center after its namesake, Mr. Andy Dalton, a former Conservation Commissioner from southwest Missouri.

During 2000, the facility received an upgrade, adding an Outdoor Education Facility, another trap shooting field, and another skeet shooting field. Since then, continual upgrades and programs have been added making this staffed facility one of the best in Missouri.

During 2003, the supervision of the facility was transferred to the Education Branch and shifted to a greater focus on hunting and sporting sports education programs. Today, the range is called the Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center.
