Had an excellent time with Notso, Mike, my Marine buddy Tommy fresh from Falluja, and new member dciceman.  This was all of ours first time at the Jeff Co Sheriff Training Academy Range in Fultondale and man they are some nice guys.  Awesome pistol and rifle range too.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Lots of fun. I really enjoyed it.

Sure thing, bud.   I posted a "heads up" thread but it may have been too late for you to see it.

Beetle, what is the scoop on this range? I have never heard of it. It looks pretty nice

ETA: never mind, I was being lazy. I checked your other thread.

It is a great range.  Can't beat the price (free), but the only draw back is that range availability is spontaneous since it is in use for training at times.  The guy(s) in charge are A-1, really take care of you, provide targets and shooting advice.

Quoted: get your head up and bring the rifle to you. Not your head to the rifle!

who you talkin' to, Willis!?

WHere is the range located?

Fultondale, we should get a small group together and go one Sat or Sun

I have to work most weekends...I am a golf professional and unfortunately that means I am off Mondays instead of the weekends.

Good photos, good folks. I'll make it one day.
