New 900 m competition range in central BC

[RIFLEF]

I google mapped your region, and was amazed at the number of Provincial Parks in the area.
Without too much effort could you indicate where the range will be situated? Thanks.
Can guys who want to go out to the range once it's done, go while it's being built to help as volunteers?

The range will be on Branch #2 of the Gorman LK FSR (forest service road) off of the Westsyde RD between Barriere and Kamloops. And of course volunteers are welcome. Work days will be announced... Thanks for the interest. Piper.

Just wanted to bump this up to see if there was any more info?

 

[donp]

Unfortunately there is nothing in view yet... I keep hoping but not holding my breath.

Anything happening this year Don ?

 

[donp]

I'm gonna go and have a look today. I've been away working for the last year so I have no idea how far it's gotten. I'll give ya a report soon.

 

[dfrombc]

Just heard there's a sign for the range put up now. Good news I'd assume. Any projected opening date?

 

[donp]

Work is slowly happening. Permits are being pulled. I will keep you updated.

That sounds interesting. Good job. Need any welding done or gongs?

Just curious if there is an update, pics... Looking at a property there soon.

This is 2 1/2 years old. I remember being excited when I saw this back in 2013. It would be nice to have some long competion here but something clearly must have gone sideways for them.

Snow.... Concrete has been poured, progress is slow. Awaiting spring.

A lot less expensive to use electronic targets than to build butts.

 

[donp]

Ian, I get that. Now seeing I'm the only competitive rifle guy here, the next challenge is prying the $$$ out of the bank.
