Reason
  • Was the skeet range on the Ent installation, off-base--e.g., at or near Ent's golf course--or had the Ent Gun Club's ranges already been built at Peterson by 1974?
  • When was the FUDS designated?
  • A contemporary source is needed for confirmation if this is changed to the lore that Ent was at a "tuberculosis sanatorium", etc.
