Just checked my stash of blasting ammo, looks like I've only got less than 500 rnds of ammo. Since I'm not going to dip into my SHTF ammo I'll have to defer today.
Good to know others have jacked up schedules also.

I have an extra extractor spring or two somewhere, unless I lost them at the range when I dumped my toolbox over in the grass... if you don't find one, let me know. -E. |

OK........i'm finally home.
I had a great day, we need to do this at least once a month. I only had one problem, a casing got stuck in my chamber, it appeared to have a filing or shard still on it when the bullet was reloaded. then when cycled the brass peeled like a banana and did not fire (thankfully, btw it was a live round), matt johnson tapped it out with some cleaning rods and a hammer. Other than that, 'twas a blast........... here is a video of GETSUM shooting off some tannerite. tannerite and here are all of the pics that we had time for......................enjoy!

Don't shoot the messenger... Just an FYI-- Bump Firing is no longer allowed at Tom Bean, unless you get confirmation/permission from the owner himself. Please respect his decision and also be sure to keep all rounds ON the berm. -E. |

ALSO - Anyone really know and talk to "RALPH"
If you do, can you tell the guy to post some signs. Most people are ignorant to basic respect. I think it would be cleaner if a sign was posted. Heck, he needs to post a few that say - PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR TARGETS PLEASE NO TRACERS PLEASE DO NOT BUMP FIRE ETC. ------- you could see where it looked like tracers had caught the birm on fire "burned 1/2 of it" That way future users of the range know and take care of it. BTW - BUMP FIRING is over rated and sucks.. |

Extremely high winds. Announced by Ralph, Saturday.
Don't blame tracers-- that's someone else's trademark  (edited to remove name  )That fire wasn't caused by tracers--- I bet you'd never guess what caused it. Some of us talk to Ralph-- talked to him Saturday in fact. CnL has/had been working on some basic signs, like hearing protection required, etc. However, the owner, Ralph, mentioned Saturday that Bump Firing WILL have to stop. |

That's awesome! And from what I hear, this is exactly what the owner likes to see on his range! Does she ever get to shoot some of your "good stuff" ?

Not yet. She started shooting my 10/22 when she was 3, with me holding and aiming it and her in my lap pulling the trigger. When she turned 8 she got her own gun which she is shown shooting and she also shoots my Walther P22. Her 6 year old brother comes with us sometimes but he doesn't like shooting rifles too much he prefers handguns because he says he "groups better".

What about having an AR15.com (all other boards welcome too
) local "kid" shoot + BBQ + social event, out at Tom Bean or other local range?I know kids are welcome and attend the events anyway, but what if the parents that usually leave the kids behind, brought them to a special event where the main goal is to allow kids to shoot safely, maybe have small competitions-- target shooting with various rifles/handguns, plate shoots, bowling pins, etc. Kind of like a carnival, but with stages and winners, and supervision for each shooter... |

My daughter would definitely be interested in going. She's a pretty damn good shot. A lot better than her mom.

No, we'd have separate age groups and classifications just so that doesn't happen... On a side note, Ralph@Tom bean lets the local 4H club kids shoot there free of charge to help promote the sport, I wonder if he will do the same for an event like this... |
