Trap & S***t Field Repair and Upgrade Notice

Beginning Tuesday, September 22, BRSP will repair and upgrade the Trap and S***t fields. Work is expected to continue through mid-October.

During this period, all Trap and S***t fields will be closed on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The fields will reopen for evening and weekend use, except for up to three rotating fields that may remain unavailable while repairs are in progress.

This work will replace the temporary repairs installed after last winter’s windstorms and is being funded through BRSP’s insurance settlement.

The covered storage structure behind the blue building, across from H Range, will also be replaced. This project will not require any range closures.

We appreciate your patience while these important improvements are completed. A firm completion date will be announced as the work nears completion.

The weather is looking good—make the most of it while it lasts! ☀️

We all know how quickly Alaska conditions can change. While the weather is favorable, it is a great time to get outside, enjoy the range, and spend some quality time practicing.

Birchwood Recreation & Shooting Park is open until 10:00 p.m. tonight, so there is still plenty of time to come out for a few hours at the range.

Whether you are working on your r***e, pistol, or sh***un skills—or simply enjoying a little time outdoors—come make the most of a good Alaska day.

Please remember to check the range schedule, follow all posted range rules, and be courteous to fellow members.

See you at the range!
