Here is a copy of the e-mail that I just sent off to the executive committee of the range that I usually go to.
Any of you have any suggestions or stories you would like to share?
ny ways, here is the e-mail message:
"Hi guys,
Just a note to let you all know that My son Cody and I were at the range on Saturday and we did a clean up out to the 100 yard target stands as well as the pistol range and then we lit up the burn barrels to get rid of the stack of trash and garbage that we policed up. There was even a few bags of houshold trash out there. A real shame to see! People are beginning to dump their cr@p out there!
Anyways, it made the range a little warmer while we were shooting. %}
Also, about 5 minutes after we started shooting, there were 3 fellows that showed up on ATV's. They started talking to us, and it turns out that they were up on the treed hill at the far end (500-600 yds. away) of the range when the barrage let loose. Good thing it was only 9mm, .45ACP and .22 at a 25 yard target.
THey said that they saw the signs indicating they were entering a live shooting range, but they did not hear any gunfire, so they decided to play on the side of the hill. I don't think that they will be doing that again. I also let them know ( In a polite way) that they were trespassing and that the only access point for the range was the main gate and not the side of the pistol range berm, like they had used when they came back to the firing point.
Anyways, glad that no one went home dead...
Do you thing that we ought to get a blast horn or something out there so we can sound it when the range is active?
CHeerz,
Dave"
