Goofy article by a goofy reporter.. However..... Clark County now apparently open.

Looks like a benchrest range to me, but not sure why the guys in the photos are holding shotguns?  Only 18 hr drive from Calgary. Rumour is BR to start there at some point, not sure when. Possibly the largest public shooting facility in the world.

We stopped in to talk to the fellows from Clark County and they were saying
that if some organization wanted to rent the space and run matches that would
be good.
As to them being the host and running said matches, that was not there intentions
at this time.
It may take a couple of years before someone steps up and organizes a match or two.

Here hoping that they get someone interested to do this soon.

My brother stopped in to the range and sends these pictures. Looks like a great facility.
