Extension of Competition Bay and Addition of a 6th Bay
Posted: 03/28/2021 18:55 ecsa secretary
Things are progressing well with the extension of the northwest competition bay to 100-yards. In addition, we’re adding another 100-yard berm next to it, on the northwest side. The gravel parking lot will then be extended west. See pictures below.
When completed, there will be two dedicated 100-yard sight-in bays for precision shooters who are checking scope tracking and performing other functions which currently require frequent shutdowns of the rifle range to repeatedly check targets.
The two 100-yard bays will allow for more variety of shooting events as well.
Many thanks to Wellens Construction for the donation of the equipment and operator! Stay tuned for more updates…
