 | While a permanent fix to the bridge is being pursued, the 300 yard range is now open for metal target use only. The bridge is still closed and the setting up of targets using either the bridge or accessing from the skeet fields is prohibited at this time. The Outdoor Range Committee Chairman George Chapman knows that the members want the bridge repaired ASAP. Be assured that we are diligently pursuing a permanent fix that they want to be certain is safe and won’t wash away in the next major storm. |
