Title: Rosebud Range Improvements 2013
Post by: rpollock 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.

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

Way to go Rosebud E-Board and the APRA.
