This was taken from the city website and I hope it is correct.

My first target was a little low because I didn’t account for the stand going into the pipe.  My mistake, I should have built it 6” taller.  They were measuring when the change was first implemented but not sure if they’re that strict nowadays

I was on pistol side on 11/5.  I looked over on the rifle side and saw anykine target stands, more than half were not in compliance with the new dimensions that came with the re-opening.

If wanting to shoot on a Saturday, will that be like a Monday to do reservations? Or Tuesday? Not too sure when website says 5 days ahead.. I’m assuming Monday. If not, I just going chance em and do walk-in I guess.

I hope it opens.  There gotta be a solution to this.  Maybe the city does the recommended safety renovations, and the club maintains it?

I hope so too
what improvements did they actually do to the rifle and pistol side anyway? they fixed the target stand holders on the pistol side but not on the rifle side. maybe they repainted the shooting area. but doesn't look like anything else. the berms look the same to me. maybe the added some dirt. I don't think they did anything else other than that. and took them 8 months to do it. that's stupid
I've been shooting silhouette side pretty regularly for the past 11 years and nothing ever happened as far as ricochet off the steel. and those that they paid to review kokohead said shooting steel is perfectly fine. there's no logical reason to close it
the Silhouette club doesn't own the property. the city should do the renovations not the club.  just do the same like rifle and pistol which wasn't much

speaking of "improvements" the City messed that up. What purpose does that fence do on the rifle side besides impede movement? Those red lights to indicate a cease fire can't be seen from shooters' perspective facing downrange. They come on but I only noticed it when I was on the line looking up and down.

Absolutely right. Tax payer money was used to build a useless fence that served no practical purpose.
What if there is a sudden need to evacuate the area due to a fire or other emergency?
Fire spreads rapidly with dry vegetation or maybe no one in the C&C thought about it.
Mr. Mayor tear down this fence.

Just shows that our government just did the very bare minimum for recreational shooting.  I would bet they opened the trap and skeet side because they fear push back.  It is, after all, a recreational sport and doesn't have any evil innuendos like heaven forbid, a target with a human silhouette.

Speaking as a clueless individual, is there such things as sillhouette targets that are porous yet still get knocked down when hit?  Wouldn't have the satisfying clang of steel but that would be fun besides punching holes in paper.

And yeah, that stupid fencing on the rifle side is retarded.  And since the City implemented it, it makes sense.  I guess. ;D

I think the addition of the fence and stupid execution of the red lights was done to give work to politically connected friends. What purpose does spraying down the benches and ground with D Lead serve? Are there ANY measurable effects? I have never seen this in outdoor ranges. Its like putting sunblock after getting sunburned.

Also isn't there a formula for amount of toilet stalls per person/area?  Seems like 2 stalls per for the potential amount of people using the park is way off.

They should have made a bigger restroom.  But that would have probably cost more than doing the roof of the shooting bays. 

The issue was lead, richochets, and overall safety but they decide to fix the roof........ :rofl: (and the pipes are still bent on the rifle side where you supposed to put your targets)

Talk about friends needing job contracts. :rofl:

LOL
sasquatch shower.

I'll take a wild guess that it is to wash down trucks after working on the berms since thousands of people get sick from touching ammo and bullets.

You’d have to ask Parks and Rec about that…
