I am pleased to report that we had a very productive meeting this afternoon. Those in attendance included myself, mildot, xring, jimbo300, phillipm, msredneck, and mstrophyhunter.
We discussed the fact that a new shooting facility probably is best served by forming a new entity. The facility would certainly need support from MRPC, SWGC, MSFOA, and others, but for housekeeping purposes it would most likely be run like a hunting club, as has been suggested. This would not mean that the range would be closed to non-members, but it does mean that if you are interested in supporting this endeavor in any way please roger up and let it be known that you would like to be a part - financially, by providing some type of service, or otherwise.
We discussed potential locations in Hinds County, Copiah County, the Delta, and Yazoo. We will be visiting some proposed sights in the next couple of weeks, but it is not over, and if anyone has any suggestions ALL OPTIONS are being considered.
The next steps are for people to commit to the project, and to begin looking at proposed sites. Again, please indicate your support for this project on this thread, or by pm'ing one of us. It MUST be a group effort to succeed.
