NOTICE

As of 5-25-13 ranges ALL GUN RANGES are OPEN again. The road to the upper range on the south end is open. The archery range is still closed until further notice. Gravel is being placed on the roads to repair the flood damage. The fence will be repaired when the proper arrangements are made.

Range 9 is now open. There are five shotgun w/buckshot ONLY shooting stations open for trap shooting only.

The levy that is supposed to contain the creek next to the property broke Wednesday evening April 17th due to the heavy rains of Wednesday. Please view the pictures below for a better understanding of the situation.

The range is located on county road 00 on the Woodford/Marshal county line just off of Rt 26 between Springbay and Lacon.

We now have nine ranges and an archery range for all members to enjoy. The road to ranges 4 thru 9 is to the right of the archery range. We have completed the new meeting/maintenance building at the top of the hill across from range 4. See the new photos below of the improvements and a better explanation.
