Once again Salt Grass Archery Club has been the target of thieves. This time they broke into our container and stole three 3-D targets. The missing targets are a leopard, a poison frog and a bedding deer. We have been broken into several times in the last few years and we are frustrated by a lack of information. We have reported all the break-ins to the Parks Department and the Hitchcock PD, but have not as yet had any luck in recovering the missing targets or in identifying the perpetrators.
Please keep your eyes open and let us know if you spot a leopard or poison frog target in your travels, as we are fairly sure there aren't many in this area. These are expensive targets and we cannot continue to keep losing targets at this rate. Unfortunately, since Salt Grass is in a county park, there is only so much we can do to thwart the thieves. We have a 20' shipping container that we use to store our targets and we have had multiple locks cut off the container. Aside from posting a sniper at the range, we are running out of ways to try to stop the break-ins. I realize that we may never find out who is doing this or find our targets, but I have to give it a shot. I'm not sure if the missing frog was a red one or a green one, we had both.
