Well, here goes. I have been lurking this site for some time. I live in CT in the waterbury area, no i am not a hood rat. My point is, i am looking for somewhere, private or public, that i can do more than just bench shoot. I am getting sick of high rock range. Anyone know a range i can visit to do something a little more involved?

When you say a little more involved. What exactly do you mean? Standing, prone, kneeling? Or an active range with pop up targets etc.?
My gun club allows, prone, kneeling and standing. There are also cowboy action pits if you want to practice drawing and firing. If you want actual action then you need to visit the King 33 guys or do a 3 gun match. |
|
Like the above post says you should elaborate more,
But if you're looking for action shooting, many ranges do tactical/ falling plate shoots. Most are indoor so it's usually .22s or handguns or pistol caliber carbines. If you're looking at shooting out a little further, there is a private club that has a 400 yd range. |
|
Thanks do the replies guys. I have an AR, and just about anything more than punching holes in paper is good. From spread out metal targets, to poppers. Even prone or crouched shooting would be nice.

I belong to Hartford Gun club. You can shoot from the bench, standing, laying prone or kneeling. There are steel target at the 100 and 200 yd range.

Get your hunting license. Squirrels are open till the end of February and Coyotes are open most of the year. Can't shoot them with an AR though. You need a 22 or somethin...

I'm looking for the same. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and start dishing out some money to King33.
|
|
Anyone hear of Muzzle Front?
Robert Higgins owns/runs it. He's used King 33's location in the past, but now he's spread out across Connecticut and also in Pennsylvania, with a new location. He certainly knows his shit, that's for sure. |
|
King 33 for some force on force sims. Good shit . They also have a new shoot house and range that is almost complete.

I've never been there but their new shoot house looks cool. Check out the sight and they have videos on YouTube that shows what they offer.
|

Do you have a pistol permit? IDPA and USPSA are great for mixing it up and are a great training tool. I try to shoot an IDPA match at least once a month...
3 gun combines pistol, shotgun and AR. Plenty of videos of all of these on you tube to watch and see if its something you want to get into. |
|
My real question is where can i do any of these things. I am working on getting my CCW, i have an AR, and a 12GA.

Waterbury area
We have our own militia in Wolcott We have meetings once a month that no one attends And we never shoot, it's a waste of ammo I think it's my turn to be the General this month not sure tho The news letter is 6 months behind |
|
I am quite interested in skeet and trap, although the only time i ever did it was a few shots back in scouts when i was like 16. If anyone has an even that i can go to, give me a time, date, and price. I have plenty of shot shells for my 12.
|
|
Does literally no one attend? I woul be interested in joining and getting to know some like minded folks.

Somebody better post one of the picnic table pics from one of the shoots with the dildos and rifles everywhere!

Then I have to help a Manchester arfcommer press in his AK barrel, then doing spark plugs on an 07 Toyota sienna, (did you guys know that you have to remove the god damn intake manifold to get to 3 of the 6 spark plugs? WTF is that?!) so I probably won't be making it to ASC Saturday. |

They were the ones getting complaints that we were having a border war. CT police came a few times and asked us to use silencers and go easy with the full auto. Naturally, that's when the tannerite came out. |

The wolcott militia range needs to open back up for another shoot. But the thing is we won't be able to have an open invite like a few years back since with a few calls and texts get at least 40+ people there. Had a "suppressor shoot" in 13 sometime but that after an hour or so turns into "hey check this out, 8 inch barreled SBR in 308". BAM BAM BAM BAM (blinding flash). Cops show up.
I'm harassing Cobra some while I'm here at SHOT Show to take the weeners out of his mouth and gun more. |
