I'm glad you all like our range, we are pretty proud of it.
It isn't exactly free though. The locals donate to it as does the Friends of the NRA. Bill N. does a ton of work out there on his own dime and time. Many of us locals will pick up trash when we are out there. If your ever down to Salida, American Hunting and Fishing Supply has the donation bucket. AHFS also has lots of ammo, targets, guns and anything else you need. Lawrence usually has the best prices to boot. He is located accross from the Patio Pancake out on the highway best breakfast in town. The german sausage is awesome BTW.
Let me not forget to mention the Chaffee County dump people for doing the dirt work, DOW for the annual range fix up and quite a bit of money also. Butala construction donates or sells at cost a lot of the gravel used out there and Hylton lumber gives and sells at cost much of the backing board and other supplies used out there too. But the biggest Thanks goes to Bill for all his work.
Please enjoy the range, but don't tell to many people.

Right now we are at a good level of use. Not enough people using the range to make it not fun or unsafe but enough to keep the idiots in check. We residents know we are lucky to have the range and want to keep it nice. I live 10 minutes away so I can go before or after work or anytime for that matter.
Enjoy!
