(Sparta, IL) — A petition drive is underway to keep a Sparta shooting range open. Last week, Governor Rauner announced the World Shooting Complex would shut down on September 1st if a budget deal isn’t reached. State Representative Jerry Costello created the petition that asks the governor to keep the facility open. He also requested that annual events held at the World Shooting Complex like the St. Jude’s Shoot and the Grand American World Trapshooting Championships stay in place.
