50 yd range work
On April 2nd a member provided a large front end loader and rebuilt the 50 yd 22LR berm. A hydro seeding company will provide several options and bids for erosion control. The most promising is a combination of hydro seeding and erosion blankets on the berm. Several members replaced the backing on all of the sporting rifle targets while another raked and seeded native grass in the first half of the range for dust control. The second half will be done soon.
Range Closure
On Wednesday, April 2 from 0900 – 1500 the range will be closed. A member will be using heavy equipment to rebuild wind damaged berms.

Work Party
There will be a work party on Saturday, March 15, 2025 (the Ides of March). The goal will be to adjust the target holders at 25 yards and 50 yards on the fifty-yard range to align with the recently installed covered firing line.
There is a total of 26 holders to move and they are all in soft sand, no hard digging, just bring your favorite shovel.
The work party will start at about 0930, immediately after the CMP Rimfire Sporter Games Match. If you plan to attend the work party, come early and shoot the Sporter Games. As the name implies, it is a match for sporting .22’s. Rifle used include bolt action, semi auto’s (10-22), lever guns, and pump guns. Nothing fancy, any sights. 60 rounds for record plus sighters. You will shoot prone and sitting from 50 yards and offhand from 25 yards. It is all free.
