Yes and it was a good range to fire on. It is just North East of
Niagara-on-the-Lake and takes up about 1/2 a mile of road including three training areas. In use until about twenty years ago when some local idiots set fire to the barn that housed the targets and maint. materiel. Right after that DND stopped use and demolished the Firing sites and target areas. Spent many happy summers training there. Peter S |

You're thinking of the one on the Lakeshore Road, no? I don't recall any range at Fort George itself during my time.

That's the one. There was also an underground .22 range across the
road from Fort George on Army (DND) property. It was dug out about 35 years ago. On the Fort George site there was no range although there was some range work there in 1812. PS |

Ah, maybe it's the former underground range to which the article is referring.
Anyhow....how the hell are you, Peter? Haven't seen you in a donkey's age...

Rob Everybody knows I'm a dinosaur! I just proved it.
Bob I'm lousy actually. Last year my truck, with nobody driving smashed me into my carrier and moved the carrier 7 inches. I thought...hmmm....Lots of blood and large gashes but it will go away. Oh sure.... Came back in exactly one year. Classic case of Sciatica and I can't walk. Oh my right leg can. But.... My Doctor laughs and says it will last minimum 6 months. |
