Archived: First Archery Range In Stearns County Opened Saturday With Help From One Boy Scout

SARTELL, Minn. (AP) — The first archery range in a Stearns County park has opened at Mississippi River County Park north of Sartell thanks to a 15-year-old Boy Scout and bow hunter who developed the plan for his Eagle Scout project.

Brian Amundson, the third of four brothers to pursue the Eagle Scout distinction, will enter ninth grade this fall at Sartell High School with project management experience under his belt.

He put in about 200 hours working on the range with his dad and more than 50 others. Stearns County says the targets are posted at 10-80 yards away.

The grand opening was held Saturday, August 13. It will be open to the public during the summer months May-October.
