The Eltendorf shooting range is a facility that is currently in a phase of uncertainty regarding its continued existence. A petition to preserve the shooting range, which counted 1193 supporters after its collection period, including 742 from Burgenland, reflects the strong interest of the community in the continuation of the operation. Despite the obvious local support, there has been no official statement from the provincial government on the future of the shooting range. In response to the closure efforts and in order not to escalate the situation further, shooting operations have not commenced for the current year. The team behind the Eltendorf shooting range is trying to enter into a dialog with the provincial government in order to find a solution that will allow the facility to be preserved. The efforts to preserve the shooting range are supported by a broad base, which underlines the importance of the facility for the region.
