Folks - The archery range is being opposed by various parties, recently the Tucson Audubon Society sent a letter opposing full development of the park as they feel archers will destroy the place. Other groups and local residents are making some pretty bogus claims to try and sway the Town Council to vote against the park.

 

I can't stress enough that we need as many archers in attendance to show that we support archery in our communities and that it's a safe and fun activity.

 

Thanks,

Hey all,

We are down to the wire on the archery range at Oro Valley. We have worked very long and hard on this proposal since July of 2010 with endless meetings, tours, set ups, rounding up funding etc., and now we are down to a meeting of the Oro Valley Town Council on January 4th at 6PM for approval or not.

 

Recently, the local Audubon Society has been enlisted to oppose this range in the park saying that it will disrupt bird llife, kill saguaros, and adversely affect native vegetation. Interesting statements since this park is about 2/3 former gravel pit and is master planned for ball fields, dog runs, and other urban amenities. They have written several letters in opposition and will no doubt show for the meeting to speak against it.

 

The three of us have done all we can to facilitate this range at our expense. It is now in your hands to help push this thing to fruition. If the Council hears an equal number of supporters, or hopefully even more than equal numbers of archers, the facility will be a go. If not, who knows?

 

So, I hope you will all show, invite your friends and other supporters, pass the word to locals and make this range a reality. It is absolutely critical that we have the room filled with supporters for this meeting. If not, I guess you can find somewhere else to shoot as you can bet the local environmental extremists will be there to stand against it.
