More details to follow

Rules:

This is a kid friendly event, my kids will be there. Smallborefreak and Batmanacw may have kids there and this year, some of our 4-H Shooting Sports kids may be here. If it is impossible to keep the language clean, it might be best not to come. Ask before bringing kids though, they need to be well behaved and listen to you and other adults. Any that can not take direction will have to leave, I don't want anyone getting hurt or worse. We have a play set and sand pile by the house if the kids need to burn off steam at any point.

Your concealed carry / open carry can be loaded when you arrive, carried all day and shot if you wish. ALL OTHER GUNS MUST BE UNLOADED WHEN YOU ARRIVE.

Know the four rules of safe firearm handling, there might be a test.

All center fire rifle rounds must impact the back stop which will be set at 100 yds. That means no shooting at targets laying on the ground that folks with rimfire and handguns might be knocking around.

If I haven't seen you shoot before and/or you have a new center fire rifle we will have to sight it at 25 yrds. We will set several times as people come and go to do this, the first one being right off the bat. I don't want rounds missing the backstop...period.

Before anyone goes down range all bolts. slides or actions must be open and some kind of indicator inserted. Spent brass large enough to see (.22 won't cut it), chamber flag or a pen would be fine. They can also be racked like a few guys who brought their own rack did.

If you have a target stand, bring it. I have a limited number and have room for about 10 people on the line at one time. I have some hanging steel but do not allow steel core to be shot at the steel. If you want to shoot the steel bring some lead core FMJ.

If you bring something fun to shoot at, like a computer, I would ask that you plan on taking it and the mess home with you. This may involve a considerable amount of time cleaning up as well as a bin for you to haul it home. Paper targets can be placed on a burn pile behind the range.

I would like to ask for a few folks to show up early and some to stay a little after to help set up some canopies and tables as well as tear down and clean up.  

Bring something to grill, we'll  have the grill at the range. Of you want to bring chips or something to share that would be great.  We provide lemonade and some sort of side. We will have cooler space available as well.

You may want to bring your own folding chair or a portable shooting table if you have one.  A canopy is a good idea, just be aware, canopy space is first come first serve.


Swap meet??? I don' t know, what is the feeling on this? Shotar suggested it and it sounds like a great idea, I just don't want to manage it.

I am sure things will be amended as people ask questions and offer suggestions. The bottom line is this, I want everyone to have a good time, no one getting hurt and my wife and I not getting stuck with all the clean up.

Feel free to post questions and suggestions.

Thanks,

Holy crap! This is next Sat!  Time has slipped by.  Trying to find a past years thread to copy and paste the rules.  Not looking forward to typing it all out again.

Range is ready.

Thanks for the help!  Again!

A Foxtrot08 re-purposed firewood tote works great as the new hand washing station.

You should have heard me on the phone explaining this to the dept armorer.

I should have known something when I realized our glock armorer Carries a Sig.

Was sure until this morning about the black slivers.  They are magnetic.  This one came out of the left thumb,  topish side between the knuckles. At least it's not powder residue.

I thought it could have been the coating from the slide catch.  Now, I wonder if it's from the bolt face.



I need to get a different bore scope. The only one I had is a micro USB. My current phone is USB-C.  Had to use old school tech for the Glockonoscopy.

I won't have to trim around the steel rack for a few weeks.

I am bumping this so I don't have to rewrite everything once we have a date set for 2022.
