North Fork Wolf Creek Recreational Shooting Lanes

[bad pony]

I was able to make it up to lane 3 early Friday morning for my version of a May Day observance and was joined by a couple of pairs of fellow May Day observers, one of which waited patently for the lane as to comply with social distancing; fun was had by all despite. There was a substantial amount of crap left behind, but nothing too weird.

I was able to clear it all off, but had to leave it by the lane sign since I'm officially laid-off from work and just don't have access to a dumpster anymore.

But the worst discovery by far is what can only be described at an escalation in graffiti.

I hope to get up to the lanes sometime next week and I'll bring some grey spray paint with me. But it's going to be one hell of a lot of area to cover.

But, I didn't let that spoil my fun . . . and much fun was had . . .

Post a pic if you do, don't want to buy paint if I don't need to.

Thank you for taking care of this!

guys, you think this (5gal/1500 sq-ft) would enough to cover all 4 lanes?

Yes i would say it would be enough to cover the blocks in place.

Be wary of other ideas to coat, you end up resting your knees, or at the very least, rubbing your pants/legs against it in due course.

Siloxane - Sometimes this is specified on projects

Anti-Graffiti Coating | Sherwin-Williams

Help your customers solve graffiti problems with Sherwin-Williams Anti-Graffiti Coating. This unique siloxane product creates a non-stick surface that repels graffiti from paint, paint spray cans and permanent markers and doesn't require solvent cleaning or abrasives for removal.

Good find DD! I took a quick look at it and sounds like a good environmentally safe product to use. Hopefully won't be more than $50/gallon. Of course, I'd work the non-profit angle to try and get a donation of the product. Guess I'll find out next week cause the stores will be closed tomorrow. I'll need to find out, if we paint over the graffiti and then coat it with the anti graffiti coating, will that work okay.

Meanwhile, yes let's get it covered up!

It's good to see everyone putting their heads together to find solutions! Thanks all!!!

Each jersey barrier is 12'w x 3'h = 36 sq ft. 1 gallon covers 300 sq ft, so, wouldn't need to do a 5 gallon bucket.

If you, or someone else buys it on Amazon, you should buy it on Amazon Smile and designate Trash No Land as your favorite charity! That way, Smile donates to TNL everytime you buy something and it doesn't cost you any more. Of course, I always use Amazon Smile whenever I buy anything on Amazon!

sorry, i've only been to lane #3. How many of those barriers do we have total with all 4 lanes?

6 total barriers. Lanes 1 & 2 have 1 each and there are 2 at lanes 3 and at 4. So, if we had to do all 6, = 214 sq ft.

will do!

You're a good horse, Bad Pony!

Rather than a cover up, does anyone have/or can get some of the citristrip to just remove the paint? That would be better, and also leave us with the concrete to apply the anti graffiti paint to instead of worrying whether we need to prep for paint a second time.

I was up at lane 4, I think you waved to me as you drove by. Snapped this photo shortly thereafter. Sunrise at NFWC:

Curious what you guys use to clean up spent casings.. other than a tarp/blanket..

I know there is the roller setups but with gravel I feel a lot of options won't work as great..

Looking for something to buy for my trips out there to help the cause.. thanks in advance!

For brass, the best thing is a big tarp. Otherwise, it's a lot of bending over to pick it up out of the gravel. There are some brass catchers you could use but I think they get pretty awkward.

For steel casings and shotgun hulls, a Magnetic picker works real good. The kind with a release is best. I find them at Harbor Freight for about $11.



Pickers work real well. This one is real reasonable and works real well. Again, Harbor Freight at $10.

This one works good for nails and steel etc. but doesn't help with brass. Fairly wide sweep. But u have to pick the stuff off after it's sucked onto magnet. $10-$11

there are industrial ceramic coating that would work for these applications, but it's EXPENSIVE...

here is one for example...

Kind'of soak the surface in oil? Sounds like a good idea.
I'll try to make it up there Tuesday with paint and a roller, hopefully it's dry and works out.
