Retail is open. Hope to have the range open next Tuesday.

They have 7 lanes open now. They are supposed to get the rest of the rubber backstop material on tues.

That sucks. Does range insurance cover damages like this or is it best to just eat them?

Just curious how a business owner looks at it.....Besides the obvious suck factor.

Insurance covers it. The other half of the range should be open late this week.

I'm curious how much lead was recovered from the shredded tires that had to be replaced.

Maybe Hoov can reply but if they have not "mined" it since they had opened, then probably a huge amount. I would guess that they may be able to "mine" it periodically since it is 14 lanes and somewhat fewer hours of operation than other ranges with similar backstops.

They recovered the lead from an old trap range in Ponca many years ago, getting 7 tons of recovered lead.
I know you can still buy reclaimed lead shot, so there is a market for shot anyway. Reprocessing jacketed lead rounds may not pay off.

I don't think there was that much lead as we had just mined it a month ago. New rubber was put down on both sides and both bays are open.

 

[sherrick13]

Can you illustrate the process of mining it?

Was this the trap area west of Ponca on hwy 60? Just curious.....
