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.

3/12/20 - WCFETC Re-Opening is postponed, COVID-19

As luck would have it, like so many other public gatherings, the re-opening of the Wake County Range has been postponed until further notice because of the Covid-19 virus.  Any further information is not available right now but it’s anticipated that we should know more soon. There are of course more important things to think about than getting back on the range so like most of you, we will be hunkered down at the hacienda in self quarantine.  If we see or hear anything that represents progress in getting the range opened back up rest assured we’ll post it up straightaway right here.  Another good place for updates is the Wildlife Resources Range-finder. 

Be safe, have fun.

Mostly, be safe.
