Glass Factory Clean-Up
Hey Troops,
I'm working on a clean-up for Saturday July 28th. Once again Marborg will back us up and I also hope to have local TV News there to offer some free publicity. There is, however, the realization that the range will be closed down by months end due to extremely HIGH FIRE conditions. There is nothing we can do about this. We have been lucky over the past several years that due to OUR mothering of the range, that have allowed us to shoot. There is a chance that if I can get a new fire-break cut, they might let us continue until further notice. Thanx for all of your support...! Craig KidnK9s@cox.net |

Glass Factory Clean-up
I need a head count for the clean-up... Not sure if a Fire Crew will be available until a few days before... I'm getting feed back from my local guys and most will not make it.
So let me know A.S.A.P...! Thanx, Craig |

In +1...
Let's work out the details for food and such as well. Also if we can get that tractor from that local guy that would be awesome. |

Hey Craig,
What's the arrangement with Marborg for this cleanup? Our last cleanup we filled two dumpsters and still had plenty trash left for more. We left a huge pile of trash on the lower portion of the range that might take more than one dumpster itself. If we could get the first two delivered early in the morning that would be great. |

Glass Factory Clean-up For July 28th - Cancelled
I've made the rounds and have no confidence in enough bodies to assist in this clean-up.
We'll have to get through August and plan one for early Fall. If by chance the range falls into closure for the fire-season, we can still have a clean-up, but no shooting and that, I feel, will yield even a lower turn-out. As for the number of dumpsters, I can get up to 6 in a day, but I must be calling ahead to keep the turn-around going. We might have an easier time of arranging a tractor, fire-crew, etc... in the Fall. As for the range improvements: The video system is out due to high cost and bureaucratic paper-work. New/more shooting tables... forget it, I will not bring anymore in for IDIOTS to blow the legs off. Covered firing line awning, see above. I might, however place metal silhouette targets, out at certain distances. So that sit fore now. Comments welcome. Have a great summer and play safe. Thanx, Craig |

Having the local news crew there is a really bad idea, they are going to twist that into a story that says gun owners trash the land.

nice - if you can furnish the welder ill cover cement and reebar ( bending reebar is a lot easier than bending plate steel lol but we'll need something to do that as well - i dont have a garage anymore )

I had the news crew there last year and it was a big success for us... It was a clear representation of US SHOOTERS actively taking part in the care of the range environment.

Really? The last time Craig and I went up in June, we put one up. It was a quiet day while we were there. We got there a little after 10am, and left around 2pm.

Nope I wasnt selling funnel cakes this is Southern Cali we stay classy! Deep fried mozzarella.
It was organically produced from free range cows, with free trade labor in accordance with the latest hippy tree hugger rules and regulations. |

We could make that happen... I suck with a welder, but my buddy is decent. Sorry to hear about the garage... please tell me you have a covered space for your moto!

Went up to the Glass Factory last week on Thursday. Great weather, low 80s with a breeze. Besides the two guys I brought, we saw about 10 other shooters, a dad with some kids shooting .22s, a couple of guys shooting clays. We did bring an eazy up and some tables and chairs, I don't see a safety issue as long as you weight your eazy up so the wind won't blow it away.
Compared to some shooting areas I have seen, it wasn't too bad as far as trash. Yes, there was a lot of junk but I think a group of 10-20 people and half a dozen dumpsters could make that place sparkle in 4-6 hours. Except for the shotgun shells, there are literally thousands of them spread everywhere. Shooters were safe, we called cease fires to change targets, "line is hot" when we were all ready to shoot. I would definitely be up to help with the cleanup day, whenever you can organize it Craig and co. Does anyone know if the range will still close for the fire season next week or if we may get a reprieve for the next month or so? Great range to shoot at and I made it there in a little over an hour. Nice to shoot at. |

Deadbolt, I don't understand what you wrote. Than range is supposedly closing for the fire season, not because there hasn't been a cleanup day? Even if it does close next week, we should organize the cleanup day/weekend soon.
I would definitely like to keep shooting there, it is far more enjoyable than most official ranges I shoot at. |

I was up there again the other day and still saw no notice warning of imminent closure. The OP does not say where this realization originated. What or who specifically is the source? Anyone? Last edited by winslowgirl; 08-01-2012 at 1:08 PM.. |
