[QUOTE="cdragen, post: 3651542, member: 48392"] During my last trip I was talking with one of the managers/owners(?) and they said that they were in the process of purchasing some adjacent land they had been trying to acquire for several years, and now that it's passed to the next generation they're willing to sell. I guess the previous owner was holding out for a big development deal but could never get it through because it was almost entirely in the floodplain. If they get the land, USSA is planning to expand their range and try for at least a 1000 yard range in addition to their current 300 yard range (in other words there would be two ranges, not just an extension of the current one). The additional land would also allow them to do some extra work on the drainage issue that's historically been upstream from them, and engineer it so that the ranges wouldn't be so heavily affected. All hearsay, I didn't see any deeds or plans, but it was volunteered freely when I mentioned the work they had been doing on the 300 yard. Who knows, but that would be a nice thing to have in town. I'm sure they're taking aim at a lot of people on the Red Castle waiting list. On the steel, I've only ever seen steel targets in the pistol bays, and last I saw they were still up, but frequently the boards holding them are in pretty sorry shape, or even broken off. Then again, I haven't used a pistol bay in a while, I mostly work in the 50 yard bays and occasionally hop over to the 300. From what I understood USSA was originally planned as a privately owned alphabet agency training site, but before it was finished any contracts they were working on fell through, so they converted to the high class shooting club model. Seems strange to me though that they would go that direction but not have any skeet or sporting clays for the country club model. Meh, I'm just happy to have a place to shoot without people looking over my shoulder, and with the buddy membership if I go once a month I'm beating the non-member rate. [/QUOTE]
