MILTON-FREEWATER The East End Rod & Gun Club’s application to continue operations was approved by the Umatilla County Planning Commission Thursday night, but a number of restrictions were placed on its activities.
#The Milton-Freewater club, which has about 800 members, has operated a shooting range since 1994 on 85 acres of leased property, but was never officially approved by the county.
#The club initially filed a land use application last fall to expand onto addition land and receive official approval for their current operations, but later withdrew the request for an expansion because the land was no longer available.
#Thursday night’s hearing was a continuation of a land-use hearing that began in December, after the neighboring Rea family filed an objection to the club’s application.
#The Reas and their attorney, Patrick Gregg, cited concerns about noise and safety, and noted that the club has grown significantly since its 1994 beginnings. They argued that the club should not be allowed to operate in an area zoned for exclusive farm use.

Coos County’s range faces an uncertain fate with the election of new County Commissioners.
I’ve always wondered why some shooting range owner hasn’t named their range “The Grassy Knoll” or “Dealey Plaza”.
