Everybody
Recent accounts of close calls with some recreational shooting have inspired myself and others to take action. Anybody that has ever ridden FINS has seen the mess of junk left behind by the folks that come out to enjoy some shooting on the south-west side of FINS. This could be fine and dandy if there shooting area was not directly in line with the GRUNT / EXPOSURE trail. There are some that feel a conflict between the shooters, trail users, and law enforcement could lead to restrictions or even closure of these trails. To be proactive in this we would like to gather a group to help clean this area up and help post some signs to inform and potential shooters of the potential hazards of shooting in that particular area. It looks like a team of 10-15 people and 2-3 pickup trucks could get the job done in under 2 hours. I will talk with waste management and CCMC to try and arrange for some dumpster space. More to follow, thinking of a date in October. TBT.
Here are a couple photos of the area in question. One shot from the bottom of shooting gallery looking north to grunt / exposure and the other from the top looking down. Most of the large items that used to be out there have ben shot down into little parts scattered about.
Thanks- SWBP
