Pawnee Range may actually finally get built.

Seems you have gone to other shooting areas out there then, or shortly after a cleanup. The trash people leave out there is ridiculous.

We carried out what looked like the remains of a picnic table the last time we went out there. That reminds me though; clean out the truck.

I went to Pawnee for the sole reason that there's no formal range and I could get away from people. If I wanted a formal range, I'd just go to the Pawnee Sportsmens Center.

I have a feeling that as soon as that range is built, all other shooting on the Pawnee will cease. And from what I've heard about the range, it will only be 100 yards and 8-10 lanes.

to bad it won't be set up like the one in Grand Junction on the BLM land it's free and no range officer. Everyone polices themselves and they do a good job of doing it as well. Only trash you'll really see is the small remains of something someone shot up and someone set up a few steel target form the 800 to 1000 yard marks. I've never shot at this club before but I have passed it while doing work in Garden City I wish we had a couple ranges setup like this here

Are you just speculating that the Pawnee range "won't be set up like the one in Grand Junction on the BLM land"? I haven't heard one way or the other that there will be full time RO's at Pawnee (I doubt it - who would pay for that?), or even that there will be an admission fee. If you know something to the contrary, please, share with the class.

As for your range out there in Kansas, I don't see what's so special about it, besides their special-ed website. There are plenty of ranges in Colorado just like that, and better? What am I missing?

yeah its a shame how people trash the place, i was up there recently with islandermyk, pacman89, and jamesbond007 doing some long distance shots. we drug out two vacuums and a MOTORCYCLE that had been shot to hell. then to top off we had a group of yocals drive up to our 1000yd target and set up their targets in our line of fire. then they get mad at us when i drive down and tell them they're in our line of fire because "they had been coming there for years"

Calm down there sparky I'm just giving some examples and going off of from the article I read about pawnee and how the DOW will be there most of the time from the tone of the article. the only thing about that gun club in KS has is the plinking range so you ain't walking over glass or other trash that someone decided to shoot when you're walking out to set up your own target.

[spqrzilla]

There was talk of using DOW Hunter Education volunteers as range officers at one time, don't know if its still the plan to use us.

I would agree that it would suck if they closed down the remainder of the grasslands, but it sucks pretty bad too how irresponsible a lot of the shooters are up there. Trash all over the place, and shooting other peoples property, instead of targets you bring yourself.
