When are they going to reopen?

AFAIK, not published yet
but there was a meeting this week, and details were discussed
there are a few people on this thread that are privy to that info, but i don't think anything is concrete yet
everything posted so far is what was discussed and not made up or conjecture...

Dang that sucks! Where is this published?

I hear that projected re-opening is projected end of April. Silhouette, rifle, pistol. Not written in stone
Also hear they like shut down the action bays to clean up the lead and may not allow lead bullets there
Don't quote me on this

Saturday, Sunday  8 to 4.
Week days closed for now. Schedule may be subject to change.

When are they going to reopen?

I drove in today. They were painting the rifle area, and trucks were laying dirt in the rifle area. couldn't see what was happening at the silhouette side, but dump trucks were driving out from there

Nothing yet on Silhouette side.

Zero on an AK is 50 yards-ish.

My preferred zero on ARs is 50 yards 

What's the problem with 50 yds as it was?  Because there is no berm?  Danger of ricochets?

This is bullcrap.

Prob mainly because it's not on the official range certification document. I've seen a lot of ranges with variable target distances relative to "the berm".

No berm at 50 yds…the berm Supposed to stop the bullets and help in the reclamation of lead.  If that’s the reason to discontinue the 50 yd rifle targets then I can’t see the silhouette side opening up.

Yup and I understand the “logic” C&C is trying to apply. However, there are lead trap technology that can be employed for the berm and rest of the range. Used often in range design, particularly for .mil ranges.

@drck1000
KR-4 is perfect for you, max target distance of 80yds.  there you go!

Yup. Thankfully I rarely shoot my ARs on paper these days. I recently stocked up on some primers and powder. Work schedule should be better soon and get out there and shooting again. 

My understanding is that DPR is following consultants recommendations.

 For those wanting to zero at 50 yds…

Just set up your target at 100 yds, and when they go hot, walk up to where the 50 yd target stands used to be and fire away.  Problem solved!

the rifle range is designed and "certified" for 100 yards only
similarly, the pistol range is at 25 and 50

i fear for the other ranges...

So I guess "they" going rip out all those pipes in the ground that hold the target frames at 50 yds.  How da hell did they get there in the first place?  It doesn't look like they were randomly placed by unknowing people.

i would bet they are already removed

just because they were installed doesn't mean it was designed and certified for that distance

the design parameters are what the city has to fall back on
if anything happens due to the range being used outside it's desing, the city becomes liable
thus my statement about fearing for the other areas of the range...

Don't do that
