I dunno, have you checked their web site? Maybe they have updates.

Is their any truth to the rumor we may get the pistol range back?

Check the website. Range closed for the season April 1. Will reopen in fall.

Range Operation Dates: September 1 to March 31, closed on Mondays.



SUCKS.




Luckily I made it out last weekend, it was packed. I had to wait for a while to get a lane.

About two years ago, I think.  Right around the time they pulled out the pistol lanes.  Rationale was that the range was there for sight-in purposes for hunters rather than for rec-fire.

I was there too...I couldn't believe it. Drove from Chester over an hour. Something needs to be done about that BS. Our tax dollars pay for that place, what right do they have to close it just because? It's sitting there collecting dust...such BS

Edited to say that I was there Sat.

We need to find out who are our state representatives who oversee funding for state wildlife management areas and start sending letters and emails concerning the range closing 6 months out of the year.

I agree, and I have no idea how to do that...I could write Steven Martin (my rep here) and see if he could help or point me oin the right direction. I'll do that.

The park Warden does, right near where you initially turn onto the first dirt road I think.
