In an effort to assist hunters and protect valuable electrical equipment, La Plata Electric Association will resume its underwriting support of “Sight-in Days” at the Durango Gun Club Outdoor Range, Thursdays and Fridays, Oct. 13-14 and 20-21, and Nov. 3-4, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
During Sight-in Days, the Durango Gun Club on La Posta Road is open to the general public/hunters for rifle scope sighting, and hunters are encouraged to take advantage of the controlled environment to prepare their firearms for the season. LPEA has contributed funds to cover costs incurred by the club for the Sight-in Days. In past years, some 500 to 600 hunters have taken advantage of the complimentary service.
Durango Gun Club staff, plus volunteer club members, will be on hand during the special Sight-in Days to answer questions, provide assistance and do minor firearms repair. Donations to the club are welcomed, but no payment is required.
The Durango Gun Club’s outdoor range is located on County Road 213 (La Posta Road). For more information, contact Joseph Perino, Durango Gun Club secretary/treasurer, 749-3453.
