Title: Welcome new range--Manistee Muzzle Loading Club!
Post by: Oz on January 17, 2015, 10:53:24 AM
Please welcome the Manistee Muzzle Loading Club as the newest Appleseed host range in Michigan!  Motivated club members learned about Project Appleseed and worked within the club to obtain approval.  Their first shoot is scheduled for August 29-30, 2015.  At the moment it is the only Michigan event scheduled that weekend and their range has the HUGE capacity for 72 shooters--surely you'll want to be at the inaugural event!

Huzzah for Manistee!   ^:)^

About 10 positions for 100 yards, a single lane 200 yard range but it crosses the 100 yard range so special precautions are necessary when in use.  So for us...unless it's a very very small shoot, probably KD would be at 100. 

The 72-position range (he said they have had more on line) is actually a 50 yard range, if that gives you any ideas.

You can see the layout on Google Earth...the range is on the east side of the road, there is an obvious road / utility corridor for the entrance, the main range is to the north of the entrance, you can barely make out the roofs of the 2 structures...the 200 yard range runs north and south a little ways to the east.  I haven't put boots on the ground yet, talked to the LBOTG and had him talk me through the layout while I looked at the satellite.
