I have not... but it would be a great addition!
ETA: Appears to be land owned by "7 O Ranch"... what's the odds someone on the commission has some tie there!? |

Yeah it's going to be a bit of a drive from Rapid, North of the intersection of Elk Vale and Elk Creek Road a few miles. Which is cool cause I live out that way.

Cool. My wife and I own a couple of sections a few miles south of there. I am all for anything to increase the sellable value and just happen to promote the shooting sports.

Which is cool cause I live out that way. Interesting. So near the tilford road intersection? I'd probably never shoot at it because I have my own range but that would be nice for the public to have. |

That is the place another customer was telling me about last week at the counter top store. Good for me since I live close by in Summerset.

I sure hope so. IMHO Rapid needs a good range facility.

looks like it's hit a couple snags
keloland article Tensions were high Thursday morning in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee hearing over a proposed bill to build a shooting range in Meade County. SB 175 seeks $2.5 million to build a shooting range, operated by South Dakota Game Fish & Parks (GFP). Last month, HB 1049 attempted to secure funding and legislative approval for the range but ultimately failed to gain the support of a legislative panel. |

Word around here is that it's a dead deal.

Looks like it still has legs (and $5 million) in a bill that passed a senate appropriations committee and now goes to full senate:
Proposed Rapid City Shooting Range gets initial OK |

Well that's encouraging!
That article though  - I am Jack's cankerous proofreader:"...mostly due to opposition from the opposition of people..." |

The black hills needs a range like this. But it would do some good for nearby land owners to speak in favor of it so it doesn't seem like all the ranchers are opposed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pokey074: So why are your acquaintances against it? They think errant rounds will hit their place or cows. They think a gun range next door will decrease their land value. Though they complain about property taxes so I don't understand that. Basically they're just opposed to living next door to it. Which I don't blame them for that. And I still cherish them as friends. But I disagree with their asserting what someone else should or should not be able to do with their land. And I think a quality range is sorely needed. |

They don't want the noise and increased traffic. They'll get used to it  |

I am no longer a land owner there. We just sold all the land in a cash deal. |

I wonder where they are going to get the other eight million dollars?

There is supposed to be a discussion at the meade County commission meeting tomorrow on the range. If you live in the county and can attend in support, please do. If you aren't a resident it wouldn't hurt to send a message to them in support.
