The issue of backstop destruction has prompted a motion to set a ONE ROUND LIMIT when using the outdoor ranges. Others have suggested using a more economical backstop or setting a 2 second TIMED interval between shots to encourage well aimed shooting.
Attend the April 10th Meeting to vote on this motion or suffer the consequences.
