Range Construction: May 2007 Archives

Over the next three to four weeks the club will be doing several projects to bring various ranges up to the safety standards required by AZ Game & Fish.

First priority is to build dirt and telephone pole target stand berms at 25, 50, and 75 yards on the public ranges. These will raise the target heights to the same level as the shooter reducing the chance of a ricochet off the hard pan of the range floor.

Second priority is to build a wall along the right side of the 1000 Yard firing line. Once it is built G&F will allow the simultaneous use of the 1000yd, Action, and Pistol Silhouette Ranges.

This wall will be built of telephone poles, plywood walls, and dirt fill. It needs to be 100ft long and 12ft high.
