Range Improvement Update

September 21, 2023 Brian Eldredge

Most of the earth moving to enhance range safety has been completed. What remains is to rebuild the 100 and 300 yard gong pits, and to complete new gong pits at 400, 550 and 650 yards. The new gong pits will be in line from the 300 yard gong pit northward.

On Saturday, October 14, after the PRS22 match, around 1400 (2pm), we will need help installing the new pits. With enough help the work should not take more than a few hours. Cordless drills, bits and drivers will be needed, along with shovels, rakes and gloves. Please come out to help! The common firing line will be closed all day October 14.
