Outdoor shooting in Arizona imperilled

Alan Korwin writes in Read It News:

Do you remember the Forest Service meetings several years back? The announced purpose was to improve and enhance outdoor shooting in the National Forests, the main place everyone used to go. The actual result was closure of more than 80,000 acres to shooting -- all the places near Phoenix metro (they're all listed in The Arizona Gun Owner's Guide ) that people had used for decades. The details are posted here. Now the Bureau of Land Management is holding hearings on the use of Table Mesa Road off I-17 for outdoor marksmanship. This is one of the few remaining outdoor spots for target practice anywhere near Phoenix metro, and it gets a lot of use.
