The blackwater range has been open only for matches or special events because it has not been ready, or setup for general membership access. Over the past several years there has been work being done by contractors on site, also safety measures and procedures had to be built, installed and or developed prior to opening. The IPSC facility has been the only range approved to shoot at, but access to other areas was difficult or impossible to police. Gates and signage have been built and installed, safety guidelines and rules have been developed and major work projects are mostly finished. We are waiting for the final approval to come through on the 1000 m and black powder ranges, at which time the Blackwater facility will then be open to the general membership. There will also be sporting clays and silhouette ranges built or more depending on finaces and help. Up to this point, we have had limited money and only about 2% of the membership helping.
