Comments sought on gun club permit
U.S. Forest Service officials are seeking public input on a proposal to reissue a special permit to the Winchester Canyon Gun Club for its shooting range along West Camino Cielo.
A popular target range used by the club’s 700 members as well as the public, the range has been permitted since 1969. It is frequently used for rifle, pistol and black powder target shooting, along with trap, skeet and sporting clay shooting, forest officials said.
Authorities are seeking comments and concerns to be considered as part of environmental impact analysis related to the proposed permit renewal. Comments must be received prior to Jan. 18, 2010, and can be sent to Jeff Bensen, 6755 Hollister Ave., Ste. 150, Goleta, CA 93117, by telephone at 961-5744, by fax at 561-5729, or by email to comments-pacificsouthwest-los-padres-Santa-barbara@fs.fed.us.
An open house to discuss the project is planned for December 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Los Padres National Forest headquarters, 6755 Hollister Ave.
