100yd range

driving in

I stopped by the range yesterday to see how the construction is coming along.
Looks pretty good.
Three separate ranges, one pistol, maybe 20yds, one medium range about 50 yd and one 100 yd range.
The 50 and 100 yd range have shelters over the firing line and it looks like the pistol will too but it has not be constructed yet.
Nice big berms along all three ranges.

Only thing I don't care for is there is no possibility for a 200Yd range now.

There are signs up saying "under video surveillance". I hope so.
The range looks really nice and if any dipshits want to vandalize stuff, I hope they get video and jail time.

Sign on the post at the gate says opening in September. No date given.

Looking good, I'd pay for a membership for a range like that if it wasn't already a public range.



Now they need to find a way to keep idiots out....

thanks for posting the photos.
it looks like it will be a nice update.

+1 on keeping the safety-casual types out.  my grandpa needs to be the RO there.  old marines don't fuck around too much about firearms safety.

How much parking will there be?



Bathroom?




The "video" signs were up all last summer.  I tend to think they are total BS, I spent quite a bit of time looking for a camera, power supply, or cabling and saw none.




It does look nice. Once word gets out I bet it'll be quite busy.

Looks very nice!  Won't miss the 200 as it became very difficult to functionally pull off.  I did it once, quite a while ago when no one knew about the place.

It's in south west Wisconsin, kind of in between New Glarus and Platteville.

It's a sweet little range.  The only shame is that it's the only public, free range in that entire part of the state.  The DNR needs to make more of these.

Let's hope common sense prevails then. It would be cool for the old badger ammo plant to be the next free public range.

Hell it'd be cool to turn the old GM plant in Janesville into a 1000yd indoor range.
