Great deal! IF only we could walk into a local gun store and walk out the door with them at that price.. But with shipping, tax, and then NICS & Transfer, were looking at $120+ out the door price.. $60+ each... Not bad, but not great.. This state is soooo frustrating..

Im almost certain he was deaf too. At the start the tower was repeating to move his bottles out to the 25 yard line. He had no idea those insturctions were for him.. Later on, one of the roving RO's then stopped to tell him to move the stuff back further but the guy didnt acklowedge, or i assume hear him. The RO ended up moving the stuff back for him, and the gentleman in the lane 17 went over and drew 25 and an arrow in the sand to explain to the guy what was going on. Then even later on, everyone had their red flags back out after the cease fire except the hearing impaired shooters. RO kept calling over anbd over for all flags to be changed if you are done. Finally i got the guys attention in lane 16 when he looked over my way. I pointed to my red flag and then he changed his and gave me a thumbs up.. Also, during a called cease fire,but before anyone was allowed down range, the guy went back to the table, rechamcered a round, and sat at the table; all the while tower is repeating a cease fire, off the concrete.. So im pretty sure the whole group was deaf.

It was good!! i was in lane 19.. And as you may recall, you never once heard the tower yell at me! It really was pretty simple common sense. Just paid attention to what orders the speaker guy ranting and thats about it. I signted 'officially' sighted in 4 guns.. Realized the piece of shit Amazon reflex red dot scope i put on the hi-point 45 is a piece of shit.. Probably wont be able to hit the broad side of a barn at 50 yards with it.. My T/C impact with the included T/C scope sighted in nicely at 100 yards. I'll now feel confident in the woods that i could hit the deer; as long as i have a nice place to sit, and a compfortable pillow to to rest the barrel on. My inherited (dad's) Marlin/glenfield 60 sighted in beautifully at 75 yards withe the Barska scope i just put on it. And finally, my mint Marling Golden 39M sighted in with the horrible scope that was on it when i bought the gun used 25+ years ago. Its one of those rinky dink little tasco 3-9 with the lenses the size of a penny and the tube the size of dime.. It sighted in fine, just horrible optics. Going to put a Barska on it like i did on the model 60. All in all, good day. Got the newbie jitters out for range time.. I'll be back soon and hopefully often. The traffic and drive time may influence that. Maybe next time we can all introduce and say hello; put some faces with the names... Ron

Well hell, you were 5 lanes over and didnt even say hello! I was on lane 19 from first live fire and there for about 2 hours. Good time and beautiful day out!

When the range is hot, can i leave my table to retrieve more ammo and/or the loaded mags from the bed of my truck? Obviously leaving any firearms on the table and not bringing them to the truck.. Just retrieving ammo or swapping cased guns between truck and shooting bench? Ron

Hell, i'll one up 'that guy'! Im going to walk along the 200 yard berm and marvel at everyone else's groups too!

well hell then, you guys scaring me enough i should just go to work instead! i assume its appropraite to bend down and pick up my OWN brass as opposed to kicking it around first!

Well that'll suck if we're all split up.. Was hoping getting there early could keep us all grouped in consecutive lanes..? i wont remind them im new there.. i can bullshit em' like an old pro...

ps.. so i guess i shouldnt rapid shoot the 18 rounds from the ol' semiauto model 60 .22.. you know, empty the whole tube in 6 seconds flat... i think i saw something in the rules about not doing that..

Ill have to spend the big bucks and buy theirs.. lol i only have black and maybe white zip ties in the home shop..

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. 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? Ron

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? Ron

ill be heading there around 12:52, so ill be there at 1.

Im in for tomorrow! What time everyone thinking? Opens at 1. Im thinking of getting there as soon as they open. Whats everyone shooting? Rifle range only? Ron

Bacon???? you mean canadian ham!!!!!!!!?? And so it begins...........

Welcome! Im a relatively new poster here too, after lurking for awhile.. A lot of knowledge and a lot of fun banter around here!

Long range forecasts are about as reliable as good sushi from an alabama gas station! May have to wait until later in the week to make that call.... Wednesday at R14 may be doable for me! I have a ton of stuff to sight in.. All my stuff has been safe queens or recent additions and none of it has had official range time or even attempted to be signted in..

Nice! Wish i could have gotten there, but too much to take care of around the home front..

Passed it many of times.. about 40 minutes drive from me...

Im game! Keep me in the loop! I got a few cases of clays waiting to get shot up....

Well shit, i dunno! Not sure where they bomb at, but i suspect much deeper in the pines and probably more than one spot.. But close enough to rattle my windows sometimes.. Im in North Hanover, right by the intersection of Rt.528 and Rt.537. Close to New Egypt border; right down the street from Hanover golf course...

Enjoy! Im coaching my sons basketball team and we have a game at 2:30... no range day for me

Driving? im 6 miles from range 14... I would def be up for shooting some clays! Id be a totally newb, other than a few hundred rounds shooting at clays launched from a hand thrower.. Whats your midweek schedule like? I am do to reward myself with a day off.. This Wednesday is looking warm and dry! Ron

No prob, didnt want to see you make a trip for nothing! But it sure would have been a great day to be there.... Some serious training going on at the base earlier today.. My house was a rockin'; they were blowing some big shit up and lotsa full auto pew pew pew.. music to my ears... I LOVE living so close to the base and ranges...

Arent they closed fridays this time of the year? I think its just wednesays, saturdays, sundays after december until spring.
