Can you still only shoot one round every 87 seconds? What is the max distance nowadays up there? Been a while.

I'm interested. Still one round at a time and the rifle range goes out to 200. Maybe we could set something up after hours there.

Yes only one round. But you can go a little less than 87 seconds.
There range is 200 max. And KC's Cabin has some good eats. Also a little diner on 45 is the shizzle. |

What about posting something in the Wisconsin HTF? Maybe the cheese heads will want to shoot with us FIB's.

One round only and conceal carry prohibited?
Doesn't sound very gun friendly. Thanks, but I'll pass. |

Max 5 rounds in any handgun?
I can't even get my head around what might be the reason for this. |

I'll play. If you are talking about precision match ala F-type or Slow Fire NRA Standing or Prone stage, it's single load anyway. It can be a quasi "F" class using AR's or NRA stage using anything. Not such a bad thing for a get together. Targets can be anything agreed upon.

The round limits are probably the complaint I hear the most. With the popularity of AR's the past 10 years or so, most people don't like loading one round at a time. Pete and I just had a conversation about the dwindling member number last week. I also know quire a few guys that would like something else besides a square range, possibly some type of three gun. |

A 200 yard F class type of event is what I was thinking. Pete and me have talked and if he could provide a trophy. Of course range fees would apply. And yes we do seem to have a dwindling crowd. And common complaints that I and other would like to address and rectify

So to shoot an AR there under the rules, you have to load one round in the mag, shoot, and then load another round in the mag?
Sounds super strange to me. |

I agree. I like ranges that weed out the idiots, and unsafe shooters, but... As much as Bristol seems like a nice range, from what I've heard from people, who have been there or have been a RO there, they just need to come out and say in the rules, "no rapid fire", rather than some of the silly rules they have. From what I understand, in some instances, if you are a regular, they will let you test mags. for function and let you completely fill up your six to eight shot revolver, but you have to get the right RO, on the right day. |

I had a jerk off RO dump my range bag from the benches. Literally just shoved them off and let them drop on the the cement. I didn't know you couldn't have bags on the bench. Short dude from Chicago with a baseball bat up his you know what. I was pissed as I had my pistols on the side pouches. Haven't been back in over a decade. I'll stick with that other range in Racine. Bristol is a nice range but a big no thanks

I'm only an hour away and would make the trip frequently if it were not for the round limits.
Worst thing about the whole place in my mind. Most people do 3-5 round shots when setting new scopes or trying to get a good group. Having to reload mags every damn time takes the fun right out of that. |

Ok I feel the love guy's. I'll keep this thread going for a bit to see if any of you guy's still own bolt guns and would like to pit your skills against one another at 200. And than go for beers and burgers after. Obviously the rules are not conducive to many here. Thank you for the input.

I've been a member for years. The rules suck. The RO's are idiots sometimes (no offense, but I bet I have more range time and combat experience than almost all of the cocky RO's there and I just turned 30). I'm a member because it's a good concept and it's affordable. I also carry there every time and could care less if you guys cry about it. That said, I would love to shoot with you.
ETA: What's your name? We might already be friends. |

I'm a member and shoot High Power, Carbine and Mini Palma matches there during match season. Been bored the past few months, so I'd be happy to shoot another match.
However, it would have to be open to AR's, since my only centerfire bolt action rifle is having issues. |

a friend and I shot at Bristol back in October. the rso was a good guy. he let us load 5 rounds because we were shooting 5 round groups. nice place but loading a single round at a time keeps lots of good shooters at home. 100 yards I'd show up to shoot with my ar. these old eyes can't see 200 yards.

"I also know quire a few guys that would like something else besides a square range, possibly some type of three gun."
Action Shooting Sports USED to run 3 Gun on the skirmish field, how Bristol made that event fall apart I will never know? What weekend are we thinking for this shoot? |

It was 2 gun and Bristol did not make it fall apart the crew running it did. And if anyone would like to take over and run it again I have board approval. As far as what weekend not sure yet. |

Well? I used my AR15 with a 22 cal conversion, 12 guage shotgun and a 9mm pistol during those 3 gun events that Action Shooting Sports ran.
I was led to believe that their departure was due to issues with Bristols board. Good luck getting another group to run those type of events! |

I'll play and have not shot F-class, I have a Model 70 Heavy Barrel I can use. I live near Oak Brook so can join you, but only on the weekends. Other days I will have to really plan ahead with work to make. I am looking for a range to join and the dues are not bad. Let me know I look forward to this.

Its only 45 minutes from me. I've never shot there, I'd feel like a broken record as to why, but for an ARFmeet, I'll FO.
I rarely get to shoot outside, so if I can make it, I will. |

In the meantime an F class type event will not require fully loaded 30 round mags in our suppressed sub guns. That match is in May! |
