Like the title says, just reaching out to see if anyone has a estimated down time or possible reopening date? Thanks for any info.

....I'm curious what's being renovated.
I went over there on Sunday with a friend from out of town. Place was locked up tight and I could see no reason why. My first thought was that they couldn't open up because they didn't have enough RSO's that day, my second thought was that they didn't pay the rent to the City of Frederick. I seriously can't believe that they didn't think to put a sign on the gate, because not everybody knows they have a web page.

Depending on the story, it might be wise for them to tell the story, especially since they are no longer the only public range in the county.From what I know there is a bit more to the story then what they have publicly said. I hope they choose to tell it.
No.Is there another outdoor public range I could go too?
They're really flaky about a lot of stuff. Apparently they posted the closure on their fb on May 4th. But who the hell knows they have a fb page, much less a web site?They're notoriously bad about announcing closures. The fact that it was on their page is a miracle in and of itself. Two winters ago, they'd close up at the first snow flake and not say a damned thing leaving me with a 40 minute round trip for nothing.
Can't imagine that they couldn't pay their bills. They recently increased per-shooter costs as well from what I recall.
Given that they have a lot of traffic at that range, it wouldn't surprise me if they need to do some reclamation of the lead in the berms. Lord knows how much lead is in those berms. If what you say is true, then I think it is ricochet that is flying up to the FPD academy.Ah.......I think I heard a comment as to what might be going on. This is just an overheard comment but someone said there was a complaint that the police range was seeing stuff from Cresap coming over to their side and that there were going to be inspections of berms, barriers, etc. to try to identify what it might be. Maybe the backstop has too much metal in it and some spatter is occurring?
I hate you so much right now. 2:I think DA is somehow responsible. He's probably out there, right now, installing surveillance cameras in the port-a-pottys and microphones at the shooting benches (or is it the other way around) and Cresap won't reopen until he finishes. That's my theory.

Well I hope they can get what ever closed them down fixed soon or I'm going to be forced to find a new outdoor range. Been going there for years, have good memories of the old range down by the river.
