Full auto and other fun back then.
We were promised a 600 yard range but it is what it is.
I too have not been to Markham park in decades.

I remember the fiasco over the rifle range

When I-75 was being improved across the State, the amount of fill required in South Florida was WAY Overestimated.

The County could have had the fill for FREE. So the SeaBees offered to build the long rifle range at no cost to the County. All they wanted was FREE range time in return for their labor.

Broward County was unwilling to give them the FREE Range Time and that is how we lost the deal
