The WCFETC Wildlife website says that the range will be opening Friday October 2nd. Hopefully, more details will follow soon. Good news it seems. We'll soon see.
I, for one, will be watching the sign for signs.
06/13/20 - A "Bustle in your Hedgerow"
You'd certainly be forgiven if you gave up on this little blog, it's been quiet for awhile now. There really hasn't been much to talk about, until today.
The Wildlife Resources Commission has re-opened many of the outdoor public ranges back up and shooters are already back. There's a pretty helpful list of what's opening and when HERE. Three opened today, one opens next Saturday but no date yet for the WCFETC range. It's bound to happen eventually. Hopefully, we're next.
As always, we'll let you know if there's something going on. Be safe.
5/3/20 - Can we fix this?
It's a small thing really but it's bugged me for a long time. This poor old sign is pretty beat up AND it's wrong. It's the "Wake County Firearms Education and Training Center" (WCFETC) not "Wake County Firearms Training and Education Center" (WCFTEC).
The sign is on New Hill Road just behind the Target store. It's maybe 40 yards or so before turning right onto Old Holly Springs Apex Road if you're heading west-ish.
I would interpret fixing this sign to read correctly as an indication that the county and the state have not abandoned the range. I know they have much bigger problems to tend to right now and we all wish them the best with the task ahead but it would be nice if they could squeeze this little anomaly into their range re-opening plans.
We'll keep you posted as events allow.
Ya'll stay safe out there.
4/2/20 - Maybe it's a sign
You gotta believe, right?
I was coming home from work a couple of nights ago and saw a really stunning rainbow in my periphery. That it was at the range was completely coincentental. The old camera on my phone really doesn't do it justice.
Stay safe, friends. See you again soon.
