So here are a few pics from Sunday afternoon showing the recession of the water. There’s still a bit of it in low spots, but y’all can easily walk up and downrange. The topsoil was dry in the 25 and I didn’t get any mud on my shoes. In the 100 yard bay, there is a bit of water in the low spots, but there is plenty of dry dirt to walk on so you don’t get muddy. You’ll likely still want a bottle of bug spray though…

We will follow up in a week or two as time permits for the crew to get back out and run another cleaning cycle through the pipe to try and remove more of the silt built up in it, as well as looking at regrading the 100 yard bay.

Well, we were scheduled for a 1pm meet to work on the drainage, but Ray and his crew decided to head out early and get started. After building a PVC extension to jet out the silt buildup, they’ve got most of the water moving through the drain pipe now and out into the Borrow Pit behind the berm. So, it’s no longer a lake in there. It will still be muddy for a few days while the rest of it dries up, but y’all are welcome to use the 25 and 100 as normal. We’ll follow up another day and are in the process of considering some potential improvements to the range for future use.
