Griswold Rifle Range Upgrades

The rifle range has been leveled somewhat and a drainage plan is being worked on.

New target berms have been added at 25, 50 & 100 yds. However, the berms are not finished yet. Target holders HAVE BEEN added to the back side of the berms.

Use wood furring strip targets, place in the holders on the backside of the berms. Wedges are provided to firm up stand from flopping
DO NOT PLACE ANY OTHER TARGETS, OF ANY KIND, ANYWHERE ON THE BERMS. Especially not on laying on the top. Use a target stand!
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.
