• JoCo 4-H opens full-service target range on N.C. 210 (johnstoniannews.com) — Young shooters who once traveled to a range near Dunn now have a full-service home base at Johnston County 4-H’s upgraded N.C. 210 facility, which adds shotgun, handgun, rifle and muzzleloader areas. Leaders say the move keeps practices local, offers more flexible training time for tournaments, and still recognizes the long-time support of the H2O range in Harnett County.
