Mick,
I'm in, you guys organized a terrific shoot last time. I do have one question, if I buy one of those commercially available targets from Challenge target that is steel, angled down, and static would those be good to go? I don't want to make this difficult but I could always throw together a swinger for my plate. See you guys out there! -Eric http://www.challengetargets.com/Stake_Targets/GS-RM-80013-R.asp

Great question....glad you asked.
From what I got from my converse wi the range. AR 500 steel....hanging from chain. Try widners for a 12 in plate for 64 bucks and build a frame from treated 2x4 with home despot chain. As soon as my plate gets here from widners I will post pics. As always my main concern is safety.....and having the shooters have a good time. ATB....mick. |

OP: do you normally organize these? I'd like to PM who does and find out how you guys do it. Like getting the range, insurance concerns, etc.
Myakka is one helluva haul for me and all of us northern florida people. I'd like to try and organize a fairly regular shoot in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area, but I have no idea where to begin. |

Last time I was there no short range berms just the -long far berm. Ive been watching this thread I'm also an A RO at the club and will be camping out Friday night before the shoot if anybody wants to come up Friday night to camp, I will dummy lock the gate . On a side note if anybody wants in the red targets low velocity or high velocity he lives close by and we can get him to come by as well . Plus he usually gives us dealer cost at events
 unfortunately were limited to size of the charge so were not allowed to do 50 pounders . im gonna bring a few FA toys folks can play with if they wanna feed em only no reloads please .

What's the maximum distance to shoot on the Area 51 range? I might be up for this and could be strongly persuaded if there is some mid to long range shooting.

Seeing as the mid range berms are gone, or at least they were last time I was there, is this a long gun only event?

No, I took my range finder last time and If I remember correctly the back berm if about 150 yards when sighted up halfway. you can set up targets much closer. They usually have cardboard and stakes, but I suggest you bring your own target frames just in case they don't or it they run out. |
