City officials looking to set board of shooting range

A lot of interest has come about with Jacksboro officials looking into developing a shooting range at the former dump.

City officials discussed setting up a board of directors at the regular meeting June 14. Having a board will enable fundraising to be done and could possibly help with scheduling. The city also needs a resolution to get a gun range going which will enable them to set some policies on the governing of the facility.

City Manager Mike Smith says the range will be a public-private partnership. It remains to be seen who will run the range with further details coming.
