Myself, MK7669 and a new friend of ours Sue, (that we met a few weeks ago that we took our NRA Basic Pistol Instructors Course through,and is one hell of a shotgun shooter for a woman) went to the swamps and had a pretty good time.I  Shot some trap for the first time, it was okay but..I'm not sold on trap as a hobby. Had more fun shooting MK7669's M1 carbine. I left my Bushy and handguns at home because I thought we would be shooting more trap than rifles. Anyway, it was a good time, lots of laughs (even though we got our asses soaked in the rain later on) fired up the barbecue and had hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch. (Tail gating at the range, gotta love that!) The ranges are pretty nice for informal target shooting, nothing exotic.
The DEC police a.k.a. "Trout Troopers" drove by and never even stopped ,but just gave us a wave. (Which was  Fine by me, even though we were legal as always.)
Anyway, was pretty fun to get out there again. Can't wait to go again in a couple weeks with my Bushy and some handguns!

Where is the alabama swamps??

eastern niagara county just east of Gasport. I can't remember the name of the road,I believe it's Ditch road off griswold near the tonawanda wildlife area. griswold rd is off rt.77. I was just there the other day...take some deepwoods or off! the skeeters are hungry. some shooters leave it a mess...if you go, please take whatever you shootat home with you(bucket,box,wood,you get the picture) and take plenty of ammo, it goes quick!oh I almost forgot, the signs say no shooting before noon, I'm not sure if this is everyday or just the weekends!

I forgot the name of the road also. It is off of 77.( I'll look it up tomorrow and post it) Mosquitos weren't bad yesterday- I only got bit once or twice. Yupper, please take your mess with you. That's the reason I hear why they closed down the state shooting land in Springville. Everyone left their garbage out there (propane tanks, Computer cases etc.) after they shot it full of holes.

with the price of brass and copper rising daily...you would think everyone would pick up their brass. I went a few weeks ago and while picking up my brass got carried away and picked up about 6lbs. of .223,308,9mm,45,and some others. help sread the word to other shooters that go there(especially WOLF shooters) please pick up your brass, and all the steel wolf cases...I get sick of walking over them.
I lay a small blanket where my brass falls, fold it up and sort it out once I get home. and if you take a child with you to shoot, be aware that there are quite a few "live"rounds laying around also.  see ya on the range!

we were up there last week with a 30mm cannon and a 4 in morter, good fun, its my new favorite place to shoot.  there was alot of crap, we took out a stereo and some tin cans that we didn't bring out, there was a washing machine on one of the lanes, i think that we are gonna put a few 30mm holes in it tomarrow, and take that with us.

Not to mention that chuckyt is an excellent cook
(seems like the rain is slowing up, gonna pass in a few mins.)
Maybe get a few guys from here to join us in the next couple of weeks?
Chucky hope Sue does'nt read this(not bad for a woman)

Well Mark- someone had to cook ....you know while you and Sue were doing the best out of 5
