Group seeks Council OK for bow range

    GRUNDY CENTER — A group of Grundy Center archers approached the Grundy Center City Council Monday about the possibility of using city land to build an archery range.
    Speaking for the group, Jeff Carson explained that the range could be built on unused land located on the city’s north side behind the city’s concrete pile.
    “It’s pretty well slugged up with fallen trees and I think we saw a couple of steel barrels in there and, just timber that doesn’t get used,” he said. “What we’d like to do is we’d like to resurrect the Grundy Center Archery Club.”
    Carson said the group has already gotten quotes from insurance companies regarding liability insurance and is looking at possibly incorporating the club so that it could carry the insurance. He said the group is considering erecting approximately six shooting platforms and between 12 and 18 targets.
