Nice day at the range today!

got there at 1:30; most lanes were occupied but was able to get right in. 
 

Got my teenage boys started with the .22 rifles, then the .22 handgun.  Smooth shooting and no flinching so finished up with them shooting the 9mm’s and even a few rounds with the new Tisa’s 1911 .45..

Good times indeed!

 

I was on this same exact station this saturday(12:20-2:20)... 2 hours of R&R...ahhhh

Ironically its my sons favorite number and usually his jersey number for sports when he gets too chose... he was happy when we were assigned Lane 16... 

Great day for shooting this past Sunday! Only got an hour in on the handgun side, but very successful. Better half was with me as well shooting her GP100 (accurately too, which keeps me in line.)

Anyone been given a hard time shooting green tips? Going tomorrow and got a bunch of old green tips i want to burn up.

I can't imagine it'd be too big a deal at an outdoor range. Then again, I've never used any.

eye, don't worry when this thing finally winds down, you'll have a shooting buddy to go with you. Of course we'll still have to keep 6 feet apart.

What really surprised me was the fact that the base is federal and military and they closed. Of course they are not really closed, the soldiers can still shoot. I was never in the service but if any of you guys were, and your uniform still fits maybe you can sneak on the base?

I learned to ride dirtbikes through that entire area much to the chagrin of the commandant.  fortunately for me, my dad was a bmoc..lol

I do miss that area

Has anyone renewed their membership since the range has opened.

It's the government, right? 

I've been meaning to go, but keep getting involved in projects. Their NEW requirement look like a P.I.T.A...

Well I just got through to someone, You have to make  a online appointment on their website.

The person who answers the phone will help you setup a username and password  for their website.

You pick the day and time.
