The Safety Guy started taking about the need to do something about the south boundary of our property at the range to ward off trespassers in February of 2024. Metal “NO TRESPASSING” signs were expensive and got shot up, paper and plastic signs didn’t stand up to weather so we decided to put up purple “NO TRESPASS” paint markers along the south tree line. But, like most projects – things got in the way; weather, briars, ticks and mosquitoes, people available to help out – and on and on and on.

And, TJ doing a great job – no drips or runs!
But, it’s finally done! Ashton Hovey, one of our Junior high power shooters and his dad, TJ Hovey, spent a couple of hours this week helping paint trees at the range. We marked trees from the junction of the fence behind the 300-yard targets up to the berm on the pistol bays. If you come onto the property from the south, you can see purple marked trees everywhere you look. In fact, in most places you can see five or more trees blazed with “NO TRESPASS” paint bands. No one can say; “I didn’t know …”, at least not convincingly.

“NO TRESPASSING” clearly and plainly marked!
Thanks to Ashton and TJ for their help – it was really appreciated.
