Salonie Creek Rifle Range Repair,

Maintenance and Improvement Plan 

The following repairs need to be done to the rifle range.
  1. The potholes in the road need to be filled in, a roller needs to be run over
  2. the new fill, and the road needs to be graded.
  3. The drainage of the road needs to be evaluated and repaired.
  4. The concrete benches either need to be repaired (so they are not dangerous) or replaced.
  5. The walkway in the pits needs to be repaired and sections replaced.
  6. The roof over the pits should be replaced.
  7. It would be nice to get the target carriers working at the pistol range again.

 The following maintenance needs to be performed annually

  1. All wood needs to be seal coated.
  2. Metal items that are rusting, or can rust, need to be painted or sprayed with
  3. a rust preventative.
  4. Moving parts of the target carriers need to be greased.
  5. The brush and grass needs to be cut.  Maybe commercially cut the brush
  6. every 2 to 3 years.
  7. Target boards need to be set up each spring and burned every fall.
  8. The trash needs to be picked up on an annual basis, or maybe twice a year.

 The following improvements need to be done to the range

  1. A roof needs to be constructed over the 500-yard firing line.
  2. The gravel path that goes from the 500-yard line to almost the
  3. 400-yard line needs to be extended the length of the range.
  4. We need to purchase some plastic chairs to go with the benches. 
  5. We can paint them pink and green and attach them to the benches with
  6. cables so people won’t steal them.  We will have to replace them as they are shot
  7. or broken but that is a cost of business.

 The following does not need to be done

  1. Leave the berm at the 500-yard firing line alone. 
  2. If you remove it we will all be lying down in a big puddle to shoot prone. 
  3. If we grade it we will loose the “crust” and if we don’t compact it then we
  4. will be shooting from a mud puddle.  The Army designed the range –
  5. they know something about building rifle ranges.  It would have been easy
  6. for them to make the firing lines cement, look at all of the cement they poured
  7. We have more important things to do than extend the pistol range, making it work
  8. again for one.  We should spend our energy on the trailer, the road, and the
  9. outhouse before we work on lengthening the pistol range.  If they want to shoot
  10. more than 50 yards let them go to the rifle range.

 Board knowledge - the Board should know before any changes are made to the

Salonie Creek Range, the Indoor range, and the Monaska Bay outdoor range. 

This does not include picking up trash or cutting brush.

  This does include moving berms, changing range direction, or other permanent items.
