The
Public shooting range on Highway 65 is open again after the county
did some quick upgrades to make the range safer.
County
workers built up the berm at the site and and shaped it so it better
protects areas around the range.
There
have been reports of stray bullets near and around the landfill,
county jail and animal shelter and much of the blame was put on
people putting their targets on top of the existing berm instead of
in front of it.
The
range is the only public shooting range in the county.
It
is more busy than usual right now as deer hunting season is beginning
and more people are sighting their rifles.
Commissioners
hope to build a new firing range further away from people - but say
this is a good short term solution.
