You got em? we need em! come September 11'th we need some help cleaning up around the ranges, some down trees in the rifle range, some overgrown weeds around the building! lots of hands make quick work! Also installing some steel down at the Rifle range berm to protect the backstop! need some strong muscles to move the iron around and get it in place. Great way to help the club and reduce your dues!

One who felt it was the best way to maximize the return on his investment.

I thought the same thing. According to the property lines, they don't even own the driveway out to the street.

Oh boy. Sure hope the have a legally solid easement.

there are two legal right of ways that are deeded to the WPRC since 1940. there is one that the developer has taken upon himself to remove, took down our gate and removed it. the ROW is still deeded to the club. The president has been in contact with the developer to remedy the issue. see how it goes.

Hopefully he’s in contact with a good attorney too. That’s BS

Club always has an attorney available ....

You're not talking about the main gate, are you?

 

[Joe_Capobianco]

the main gate is one right of way, yes. there is a second about 200 feet to the south

 

[kerryman71]

But was it the main gate they removed?

 

[Joe_Capobianco]

ha ha ha no... the second row was removed by the contractor. not to worry.... the club is on top of it.

 

[DW357]

Who’s the developer?

This shows me that it was intentional to remove any sight and sound barrier between the club and the new homes being built and the existing newer homes across the road that were built over the last few years.
The developer is probably hoping this will speed up opposition towards the club and pressure for closure so the clubs land can be purchased for la boca vista, phase II. The access road into the club was probably left undisturbed because that will be the new town road into the new phase.

Ok. I was just out there last week and was thinking if the main gate was taken down since then, that would indicate the developer gives even less of a shit of what they do than they did before.

Sorry, but not even close.



May I suggest that a public forum, that anyone can join and gather information (mostly inaccurate or hearsay), such as NES, is not the best avenue for this discussion.

The first Thursday of every month are the clubs Monthly Business meeting where all "WPRC Things" are discussed in person. Everyone is welcome to come and say whatever is on their mind, ask questions, and get answers.

Not being a a$$hole, Just my $0.02 worth of an opinion. O.K. maybe I am being a bit of an (_*_)

I would like nothing more than to be completely wrong about my opinion. Unfortunately attending the Thursday monthly meeting is virtually impossible for me at the present time. I did check the club website hoping to see the meeting minutes.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

You are fortunate that all the ranges seem to point away from the new development, making stray round accusations difficult.

Yeah, in a logical world
Don’t mean all that much in the real.

Yea, some hillbilly must have fired at 180degrees to the berm and hit my house!

Well said my friend!

 

[skiro98]

Sorry. Didn’t mean to start anything. Just posted some pics and vented my frustration.

Wow. Shot the IDPA match today and was in shock at the amount of clearing that was done. There’s like no trees left right up to the WPRC property lines. What a shame.
This is going to be interesting how things play out once the houses are finished and inhabited.

I want to give out a huge thanks to all those that attended the work party yesterday! Thanks to them, we got a lot of work done and made the club a better place.

I have yet to go this year. My schedule has been crazy. Hopefully one of these months I’ll have a free Sunday.
If you need a hand some other time (after work hours) please let know.
