I was at the range last weekend and found out how slippery it is. Just a reminder to be very careful when navigating around in these Icy Winter Conditions. Our sand supply is nearly used up and the main door to the sand shed is frozen in. Use extra caution if you retrieve sand from the side door as there is a couple missing floor boards that need replacing.

Pay close attention to the condition of the berms as well. Frozen berm surfaces could cause ricochets. If you experience these conditions you may have to re-position targets or discontinue shooting.

Soon we will be seeing the snow melt and the frost leave the ground. If you arrive at the range and find muddy conditions or the drive way has been blocked, do not drive in and damage the road. It may be possible to park by the pond and walk in if that part of the road is passable. If it isn’t we will temporarily shut down the road and post it accordingly at the gate as well as on the website. It will be advisable to always check the website before traveling to avoid a wasted trip.
