They come ready to destroy. Slag hammer, and some big people. Those 4”X4” were in the ground around 3’ and broken off and the stairs was 2”X12” and you can see what they did to them. I feel it was planed.
I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

I did have a nice day with ScottM and Mudd despite the range being trashed.

Instead of all the negativity, the damage is done and that sucks I know but lets try and be positive and make good things come of it. Lets try this:

I just made $10.00 selling feathers in an effort to save up for a Hog hunt at Rays in January. I know, its only 10 bucks but its a start. I'll even add another 5.00 of my lunch Money.

That's $15.00.  Could buy a 4x4.

Let me start the donation ball rolling and send it to whoever is in charge of finding new materials.

Someone just PM me the address to sent it to    :)    .  I just want people to be able to shoot when they want to shoot.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

That is very disappointing and even more so being so close to home.

I lived in St Charles from 1979 to 1992 and shot at this range several times per week. I did a lot of repairs myself to the old excellisior (spelling) bales on the 3 courses. I loved that place and still miss it today. I use to go out there on Mondays after a big 3d (compound) tourny and I look for lost arrows. I found over 30 one Monday. Back in those days almost all were 2216 or 2117.
Anyhow, good luck on getting it back in shape.

You guys ought to try to get a news crew out there and have a story done about the vandalism.  Sometimes all it takes is someone seeing it on TV that may have overheard something somewhere to get these people caught.  Maybe even a small reward.  Money talks!  Just a thought.

I'm guessing they had to have used a vehicle and some kind of strap or chain to pull them until they broke.

I was totally disgusted. The park employees weren't very happy either.

The man who seemed to be in charge said they wouldn't be able to get it fixed until maybe Dec or Jan.

God bless,Mudd
This information eliminates kids IMO, more likely it was simply a group of young adults with a case of beer and a pickup.

Some kids will tear up anything, just to have torn something up.  Destructive nature.

Their community service should be helping to rebuild it if they get caught.

Now there's a good use for a trail camera!  Set one up for security.  Post a sign about video surveillance... end of problem.

If I worked there I'd put up a sign to saying it was under surveillance whether I had a camera or not..lol

Same thing happenned at my archery club years ago. We put out some 3D targets and they all were broken in peices. We tracked them from the snow to there houses and let the parents know that if it happenned again we would press charges and sue. Since then we haven't had a problem. Totally senseless destruction.
