GENERAL:

THIS IS A COLD RANGE IT IS ALSO A ” DRY RANGE,” one more time, it is a “DRY RANGE.” If it has RAINED, SNOWED, HAILED or SLEETED, anything that makes the GROUND WET, or SOFT, DO NOT DRIVE PASSED THE HOT ZONE. We have a nice trail for a road that will work just fine if only used in DRY WEATHER. IF you RUD the road the club will expect you to “PAY” for repairs. PLEASE remember this is a Gun Range, not a MUD Bog.

Please clean up when you are finished shooting, including paper sticks and any trash. Please leave the range cleaner then you found it.

If you have any ideas for range improvement, let us know. Come to a meeting, they happen on the 4th Tuesday of each month except December.
