Range Maintenance & Enhancements

Thank you to all the volunteers!

The Summit County Shooting Range in Colorado relies on the efforts of volunteers to keep the range in good condition. This means periodic cleanups, shooting bench maintenance, and maintenance of target stands. Below is a sampling of recent work performed by these outstanding volunteers.

2011 Range Cleanup

In the Spring of 2011, two Boy Scout troops worked to help cleanup the range after little or no maintenance being done in 2010.

A group of hard working Scouts and parents came together on June 6, 2011 to remove 3,700 pounds of debris from the pistol range. That's almost 2 tons! Debris included spent brass, shells, used target supports, and misc. items left at the range by users after being shot up.

Boy Scout Troop 40

The following Saturday, Boy Scout Troop 40 worked on the rifle range. Despite still being muddy from the Spring runoff, they did a great job of cleanup debris.

Upgraded Shooting Benches!

In the last few months, new benches have been provided by both Summit County staff and through the efforts of a Troop 40 Eagle Scout Tyler Nelson. These are beautiful benches that should withstand the worst the mountain weather has to give for many years.

Many thanks go out to everyone who is helping to make the Summit County Shooting Range an enjoyable place to enjoy the shooting sports!
