I hope the fine is substantial! I am no longer amazed at peoples stupidity and I wish that was not the case.

Hey guys. Got a response from Randy at ODF. He says go for it on putting in tuning or PVC into concrete. He raised one concern that we also discussed when we were in the design process. So his thoughts were to perhaps experiment on one of the lanes and see how it goes before installing the pole holders on all sites.
Here is his response email.
Hi Reno911
Yes, I remember discussing the option of embedding PVC or tubing at set distances either flush with existing lane elevation or up higher on target berms like the ones we set up at lane 1. I support giving it a try. My suggestion though, is to try it on one of the lanes first to see how it works and to allow time to test the design to determine if it needs to be modified any before incorporating it into all of the lanes. What is the design rationale for using concrete?
I also recall hearing comments and questions about the PVC pipe or tubing filling with dirt when not being used and some questions about how best to keep debris out of them. Have you all discussed this question? Do you think there are any other design elements to consider?
Randy
Any thoughts on the dirt filling the holes?
I figure if there is a decent surround of concrete around the pole holders, whether steel tube or PVC, it should create a decent barrier from the dirt. Perhaps even further surround the concrete with gravel. Creating a visual grey distance/target set up area with the concrete and gravel in the brown clay/dirt area as well as preventing the clay/dirt from flowing into the area from rain and water flow.
Checked on all 4 sights today. 1-3 were pretty clean. Folks were at 3 and 4. Guy at three was nice enough to chat for a bit. Younger guys at 4 didn't even flinch at my sight so I didn't get out to say anything. They appeared to be shooting a steel target. They were being safe. Just didn't get the most approachable feeling. Anyways. Site 4 looks to have some wooden target debree left over mostly. I did not see any remains of a car.
Done!You guys should click the overview tab (up top) and leave some reviews
Never noticed that before Joe. I will use it after the next time out.
Done!
