10 million buck shooting complex; Wyoming

Post by GPeterson »

Hey you guys,

Maybe this has been brought up here before, (?) just didn't see it anywhere, so, I thought it would be worth the posting. Looks like a pretty big potential shooting site considered here in Wyoming. I can only imagine it would be designed for all types of shooting disciplines, especially after that 4-mile+ plus shot made here fairly recently. Might need that kind of room wherever it may be considered.

Could be something that would be a very busy place, and probably good return on the investment. But the biggest draw back is going to be our short shooting season, and finding a location with close full service towns where a piece of ground big enough to house it could be bought for less than the 10 million allocated.

The state must be fairly serious about the plan, putting out 40K seed money to find a possible site. It'll be interesting to see where this all goes.

Every where is a long drive away. Casper is centrally/more or less located.

Larry Hicks is a pretty dedicated sportsman, and it doesn't look like he had any trouble getting it out of the senate. Now to see what the whiny butts in the house do to it. But 40 K will be a pretty small start to get the volunteers they pick paid expenses for travel, lodging etc. Going to take quite a bit of time to get the main plan together and then get it past all the agencies that would need to sign off on it.
