Post 435 range weeds

Anyone know if the weeds blocking the 50 yard targets have been hacked down yet? The last three visits have not been fun trying to shoot between the waving cattails and leaves.

The caretaker said he cut them down at the meeting last Tuesday. I haven't been out to the range to confirm.
I will never apologize for being an American.

You could wear a hockey mask to keep the weeds out of your face... :D

It's usually more of a sight line issue when shooting prone.
As noted above, a machete, or similar instrument, ( ...a flame thrower in the wet season) with one's range gear can solve all sorts of problems.

A pallet of ammo and rapid fire should do the trick.

If Doug said he cut them down, he did. His work is good.

Not sure prone shooting is allowed.

Was out to the range last night for CMP clean up night. The weeds have been taken care of.
