Rosebud Range Improvements 2013
« on: September 02, 2013, 01:49:42 PM »
i am pleased to share these photos of our ongoing range expansion. We will be expanding the firing line from 14 benches to 20 benches. In addition we are running power to the clubhouse, firing lines and 100/200 yd berms.

The expansion will see a substantial amount of trees and earth removed on the left side of the range.

Not only that we are filling in the death valley behind the 100 yd berm, where good bullets formerly went to die.

Thanks to the Rosebud Club for making this expansion possible and of course the volunteers who give their time to improve everyone's range experience.

Here are some more pictures courtesy of Bob R. valley behind 100 yd berm now filled in. Most of the earthwork is done. Some final contouring remains. Waiting on weather now.

Exciting times ahead for Rosebud Range.  It will be a blessing to set flags for 200 with that CRATER filled in.

Maybe just maybe the range may become a bit more predictable.......... LOL

Way to go Rosebud E-Board and the APRA.

Bye bye to the pit of dispare. We will need to learn the 200yrd range all over again. I appreaciate all the work going into the Rosebud range. I can't wait to see it in person and see what the winds does.

After the generator is up and running I'll post details of what process we put in place to charge 12V batteries for campers at the range.
