... and it rocks! Well worth the drive and the price/freedom more than makes up for the gas.

Tried to leave it cleaner than I found it :)

Got to practice transitions(ar to g19 and 870 to g19) and move/shoot for the first time. All the dry practice i've done at home made it better though... i.e. fun and focused learning session instead of frustration and cussing :)

Mrs. stealthcrf had a much better time than she usually does since it was quiet and she wasn't worried about looking stupid or pressuring herself.

Thanks Ralph!

This is why I, and I'm sure many others here don't do public ranges anymore.  To have a place to yourself and do what you want is well worth a longer drive.

no thats because some people got stupid and just shot the lines or couldnt control their bump firing

Glad you had a great time, Ralph and I try to keep the range available to to the Arfcom crew with as little hassle as possible
come back often and enjoy yourselves

steel is ok as long as its not your TV, comp, wheel rims or drag along trash that gets left behind.  bonifide target plates as such are ok, just dont leave em behind after you shoot em up

Yes it is...I have two new steel targets I just bought and wanted to try them out.  I promise not to leave them there.

I had a good time shooting steel today....


And shooting there in general.

Above is part of the MEUSOC qual

Transitions

Part of the MEUSOC suppressed and fast.  Scored around 80% (like that f'd up double tap that became a fast tripple near the end...)

Odd, Ralph* told me it was because of ricochet. Also, I was shooting at a metal railroad plate, not trash.

* I presume he was Ralph.
