Gentlemen and Mrs. Cooper:

The Quivera Hunting Club has for some years, served the needs of
,the indoor pistol shooter in the Salina area. It has becorre evident
that in order to also serve the needs of the outdoor pistol shooter and
rifle shooter, some provision will have to be made to have a place where
a range can be constructed. This place should be safe, convenient to
the public, and relatively inexpensive to use so that IT~re people can
participate in one of our oldest national pastirres, 0,
We feel that the City of Salina should construct a range on'the
new landfill site since it meets all of the above criteria. The range
could be operated on a fee basis to help defray the expenses incurred
in its operation. The local Lal-l Enforcement agencies could also then be
provided with a place to practice and the range could be located on the
site so as not to interfere with th~ operation of the landfill operation.
,o¡
In studying the topography of the site, we find ~hat the northwest
quarter of the section lends itself to the construction of a rifle range
capable targe~ shooting up to 500 yards, due to the rapid rise in the
ground at the north end. A miniæun of earthwork would protect the road
at the north end from any danger. A 60 yard pistol range with turning
targets could be constructed adjacent to the rifle range. This could be
used by police for marksnanship training and practice and by civilian
shooters for target shooting competition.
These ranges when built, could be the scene of statewide and regional
tournarrk:nts which would"attract participants from all areas of the country,.
as well as continued local use of a scope which we can only guess at at
this time, We have received hundreds of requests over the last few years
from people wanting to knów where they can go to do some target shooting,
sight in their hunting rifles, or just to' safely plink at some tin cans.
We have had no answer for them.

We are asking for your help in providing the public with a
much needed facility. How 1,1any people I'wuld participate if such a
place were available? We honestly don't know, but an educated guess
would place the numbers in the hundreds. What about the young?"
Boys and girls exposed to the fun of target shooting are seldom, if
ever, in trouble. The general public can benefit from a place where
they can learn the principles of safe gun handling. With the current
e!:1phasison young hunter safety training, this I~ould be a place where
practical safe handling of firearms could be taught.
The benefits are endless, the cost is relatively low. The City
has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in a golf course, tennis
courts, swinming pools, and other recreational activities. A few
thousand dollars invested to provide a target range will provide a
l;nge nurrber of citizens \~ith iln opportunity to enjoy a'safe, whole-
some hobby.
We hope that you will see fit to find a way to honor this tequest
and take steps to commence construction in the very near future. The
,Quivera Hunting Club pledges its help towards this goal.
Sincerely,
(' Í-.¡1 0,/ ("
