Helena Gun Club • Helena Trap Club
Kenwood Facility
COLLECTION OF KENNON BAIRD
From
1927 to 1946, the Club operated in the west side Kenwood
Addition, just outside the city limits. That early facility
was located near the intersection of Highway 12 and Linden.
One
interesting tidbit about the early club in Kenwood is that
members would periodically "mine" the range for
lead shotgun pellets, and over the years some 20 tons of
lead was recovered. |
