Shooting range plans
After efforts by Tier 1 Group to purchase land in Jones County, North Carolina to be used for a shooting range, Jones County Commissioners passed an ordinance on January 25, 2008 to regulate commercial shooting ranges in the county. On February 1, 2008 Tier 1 Group filed a request to get 2,000 acres rezoned in the Bentonville Township in Johnston County, North Carolina for what would be the worlds largest privately owned weapons training site, larger than the Blackwater USA site located in Moyock, North Carolina.
