Stories

• 90,000 rounds a year

  As a municipal course the North sees about 90,000 rounds a year, compared with about 78,000 on the South, so managing wear is a constant focus for the crew.

• An artillery camp first

  During World War II the mesa was Camp Callan, an Army anti-aircraft artillery training centre that held 10,000 or more trainees at a time and ran from 1941 to 1945. Afterwards the city bought back the land and buildings for $200,000 and the barracks were torn down for lumber to build veterans' homes.
