Cowlitz Game & Anglers

Thanks for your interest in the Cowlitz Public Shooting Range

We were required to obtain a vote from the County Commissioners that they would provide financial support to the requirement for detoxification (lead removal) of the range should we ever stop shooting. This is a $250,000 commitment which wasn’t finalized by the County until June. The concept had been unofficially approved last November but we couldn’t commit any financial expenditures while the legal issue were in jeopardy. During that period all engineering work and fund raising stopped.

NOW, we are forging ahead. The new schedule says we will be shooting in February 2012. We expect to submit applications for final building permits by the end of September. Architect plans are complete. Grading plans are complete.

We just received a $25,000 grant from the NRA which is a real boost. We now have raised $240,000! However, due to increased prices in diesel fuel, D-8 drivers and materials we now need about $55,000 to match our most recent forecast cost of building the range.

We are seeking shooters to send in checks now and not wait until the range opens because the cash is needed now not next February.
