    There are several small clubs around but nothing where you can just show up and shoot. I haven't been there since they started charging for permits, but am debating on going for a hunting license or waiting until June to purchase my permit.

    There have been signs posted for awhile on the impending construction

    Curious... how were they supposed to warn you (and presumably everyone else) other than putting up a sign or two?

    Well snap. Who knew the game comission joined the interwebs. On a side note, people who do this: "First, don't shoot up the framework used to hold the backstop material" need to be staked out over ant hills. Seriously.

    Well never saw one sign posted out there and I go every friday to shoot. First sign I saw was when I went Friday to shoot. And that sign was laying on the ground all rolled up. Well I hope this time they really do fix the place up. Last year they closed for a week for remodeling and NOTHING was done! Unreal. Oh wait a minute....they did put up some new post's that people shot up....lol..lol.. I would like to know when they plan on reopening. If anyone hears, please post.

    I was there yesterday...its open. They repaired all of the wood on the backstops. Now if they could spread some gravel around the benches so I don't have to walk through 4 inches of mud.
