State of the Range!

Large Improvements at the range, by AZ G&F have been put on hold until funding is available. Meanwhile, we have applied for an NRA Grant to fix an erosion problem that has occurred in the Competition/Training Bays. We will fix the problem whether we receive the grant or not, but we are being patient while the grant committee is deciding on which applications to accept and fund. Please be patient with us as we wait for the process.

Improvements Went On During Range Closure Last Year

Game and Fish continued to support WMSA and the Second Knoll Target range, even during last year’s closure. As many of you know, the road to the range, and the roads inside the fence, have not always been what we want them to be. So the G&F Development Branch sent their Heavy Equipment group to improve the situation. Jack, Jed, and Dan worked hard at it, and after just a few hours there was noticeable improvement on the road.

Using a loader, grader, and truck, they reshaped the road in to the range from US 60, so it sheds water and alleviates getting muddy in the wet season. They topped the road with cinders from the pile at the range. They also added cinder to the parking lots behind the 50 & 100 yard ranges, while creating more parking space on the East side. This should eliminate the mud issues we’ve had in the past.

We appreciate their hard work and improvements they made.
