Snakes

A friendly reminder that this is the time of year we should be extra cautious at the range for the rattlesnakes are on the move. So please be vigilant and avoid the trauma of a snake bite. If you see a snake on the range do not just walk around it and ignore it, but let a range officer know where the snake is.
