Range Closures begin Monday, 23 May

The LANL archeological site survey teams return to the field on Monday, the 
23rd of May.  They will be working a four day schedule, 
Monday-Thursday.  Hence all range facilities on the clubhouse side of the 
road will be closed until 6:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, from the 23rd 
of May until late June.  The archery range will remain open.

There are three sites in the canyon behind and to the left of the pistol 
ranges.  The archeological site survey teams will concentrate most of their 
effort in that canyon during May and June.  As soon as those sites are 
completely surveyed, all ranges, except the rifle range, will be 
reopened.  We hope this occurs earlier than 30 June, but the schedule 
depends on the weather and on the complexity of each individual site once 
the excavation begins.  There is little likelihood that the survey teams 
won't be done behind the pistol ranges by the end of June, which means we 
can fully resume pistol, shotgun and indoor range activities.

The rifle range is a different story.  There are about seven sites 
down-range.  The rifle range will be closed Monday-Thursday until those 
sites are fully surveyed.

LANL will have range closed signs posted while crews are working, and will 
have an individual stationed near the clubhouse.  Honor these signs and 
cooperate with the LANL gate guard.  Failure to do so will be the basis for 
removal from the LASC membership rolls.
