Griswold Rifle Range Upgrades
The rifle range has been leveled somewhat and a drainage plan is in place.
New target berms have been added at 25, 50 & 100 yds. However, the berms are not finished yet. Target holders will be added to the back side of the berms when things thaw out!!.
Until then…
- Continue to use wooden target stands, until the berms are finished
- DO NOT PLACE ANY TARGETS, OF ANY KIND, ANYWHERE ON THE BERMS. Especially not on the tops.
- BE AWARE of what is behind your target, so your fired rounds are not impacting/destroying the wood poles or the tops of the berms down range. Be Aware of what's behind your target!
- Do not walk on or over the berms. Please walk around the berms. The right side of the range has been cleared for this reason.
