Just wanted to let firearms enthusiasts know that we are in the process of planning a local gun club and range in the Santiam Canyon area, in Oregon, East of Salem about 35-40 miles.
The proposed name is "Santiam Gun Club" (or "Santiam Sports Club") and our first board meeting is next week. We've had one public meeting so far and many, many, many interested locals.
When I first asked if anyone was interested, more than 500 local residents responded affirmatively and enthusiastically on Facebook in less than three days!
We're currently working on finding an appropriate property (we have several in mind) and working on range designs.
The goal is to have at least the following ranges: 500-/1000+ -yard rifle range, 100-/200-yard rifle range, 50-yard pistol/rifle range, skeet range, trap range, and archery range.
The community is new at this, but we have a lot of smart people and a lot of talent to bring this together. I'll try to keep everyone posted as things progress...
