Woodstock Shooting Range Hearing Coming Up Thursday at 1:30

Almost ten acres are in the parcel for which re-zoning is requested. It is at the southeast corner of Queen Anne's Road and Route 120. The land is owned by Franks Trust 2/McHenry County Sportsman's Center, Inc.

Paul Levin wants to share this information:

Thursday April 26 and 1:30 pm at the Government Center on Ware in Woodstock the zoning commission is having a second meeting to discuss the proposed outdoor gun range at Queen Anne and Rte. 120 on the previous Deer Run Golf Center.

I live among over 140 homes within 1/3 mile of this site and via petitions we are getting signed throughout the sub-division, the almost unanimous reception is to STOP this gun range from being a reality.

It is just too close to well over 500 homes in Bull Valley, Woodstock, McHenry County.

The noise, danger from possible stray bullets, home value degradation, disruption of our daily rural lives, pollution from spent lead shot and bullets, etc. dictate that this site is not conducive to our neighbors ways of living.

Children living in our area would be subjected to the noise from this range, as proposed, from 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week. We cannot allow this business to open so close to our homes.

Opponents point out that the shooting range would be 650 yards from Victorian Country/Newman Homes and 810 of a mile from Marian Central High School.

Can you assist us to stop this 50 lane plus skeet shooting gun range from becoming a reality?

Anyone else seeing this should join our outcry and attend the meeting Thursday.

  1. Whatever happened to the Crystal Lake gun shop and range that was supposed to open in March of 2012?
