Rifle range?

 

I do have a few i want to sight in...

my inherited 18rnd .22 Model 60

Marlin Golden 39M .22

High Point .45acp carbine

T/C Impact muzzleloader 

years ago i picked up a sporterized .303 Enfield SMLE with about 90 rounds of 1950's ammo.. Smooth action and cant see any reason not shoot it.. If the ammo still goes off, might be a good time to shoot it tomorrow...? Anyone going a fan or guru of old military rifles?

Look for a Silverado?

After you find the Silverado;  I'll be in a metallic grey with black lower F250 crewcab..  Wave me down.. Will be my first time shooting there and the first time in 20 years shooting at a formal range.. All my shooting is in the back yard or behind the hunting club down the pines, so i could use some reassurance and guidance. Would hate to be the guy the range officer gets to yell at first thing in the day. :icon_lol: :icon_e_biggrin:

 

Whats everyone using for targets? I have some old campaign signs and plan to tape/staple paper targets to them. I hear this is a common and simple setup used there often?

2-3 round "bursts" are allowed.  Mag dumps will get you a visit from the range nazi.  Actually, everyone there is pretty cool except for RSO Pvt Pyle.

The heavy guy usually wears a boony type hat.  Sometimes he's in the tower, sometimes walking the firing line.

You will be on one of the first four lanes.  They put the noobs there so they don't have to walk as far to yell at them.

Pick up brass that lands over the red line during ceasefire, pick up brass on concrete during hot range.

Have whatever you need for downrange put aside BEFORE they call a ceasefire.  If you leave anything on the table or bench, you are boned if everyone has their green flags up.

Also, during ceasefire, after you set your targets, go sit on your tailgate of your truck and reload mags, until they call hot again. Just make sure you don't leave the mags or ammo on the bench...
