Steve,
I’m very curious on the development you mentioned in your reply. Can you give me a link or something where this information can be found?

I think a shooting area would be a great idea, many people use this area to shoot and some dont clean up. having a centralized area would make clean ups easier. junk shooting should be allowed with stiff fines for not packing out what you pack in. NO GLASS ALLOWED

The plan needs to take deep consideration to the residential areas on the west side of I-17 and the east side of I-17 since Table Mesa road accesses both locations. Table Mesa road needs to be safe and far from any possible infringement with trail riders and of course shooters – the parcel just north on Table Mesa rd – west and east of Table Mesa rd total 300 plus acres. The parcel inside the plan area north on Table Mesa is already slated for development and the parcel on the east side of I-17 about a half mile off of I-17 is 140 acres zoned 1 acre residential this parcel requires Table Mesa as an access – so the traffic will be heavy along Table Mesa rd. This is very serious and it is very important that the future plan and organization involved with the plan understands the future development otherwise a legal moreatorium will be opened.

I would like to see some areas set aside for target shooting, both pistol and rifle. Developing accurate loads for shooting is not easy at shooting ranges. Improved roads are not necessary since the desert should remain the desert but some sort of road markings would be nice.

Clean up should be mandatory at shooting sites and this should include brass and shotgun shells. No junk shooting should be allowed.
Ask for volunteers for policing these areas.
