Memphis Sports Shooting Range Under Water!!!

[The Legion]

Just receive a picture of the range and it is under water.  The picture looks like it is along the road coming into the range were the entrance to the AP range is and the 50 and 100 range.  This is not the first time this has happened.  It flooded pretty bad around 2009.

That's a lot of water-

In 2009, I pulled up to the train tracks and was stunned.  The AP range was under five feet of water.

I assume they’re they not gonna let a fella go skip some .22’s across that?

They are closed, but all would be back to normal tomorrow were it not for the 3-4" we are due tonight and tomorrow.  The Loosahatchie occasionally floods MSSA but it usually recedes as fast as it rises.  Tomorrow may be a different story, though.

I remember the 2009 flood. Water was almost over the shooting benches. They did a good bit of drainage work after that. But they can't stop the Loosahatchie when it decides to leave its banks. At least it should drain faster.

Lynn is going to cancel the next match because it's too wet

Makes POI easier to spot.
