....and if the corn field don't get me the potato field will.....lots of eyes......then strrrraaaaiiiiggghht to the phone! Ha!.....sad, but that's how 90% of people are...they get jealous if someone else has something nicer....
......and I keep posting......I usually get over an "incident" in about 3 hours....I ain't gonna let anyone take my happiness away....I'll spit in their face first if I could and give them a vertical buttstroke.....if..they are smaller than me! ---00
). I've never fired any of them. I know that 64s are shooters. I like to play with that straight grip one. The factory put some time in that one. It's a 32, and shoots like nobody's business. 
odd right on 
never heard that before.....you must have a dooryard!.... that has two bathrooms. On the long 500 meter range we have a nice road that we drive down and at each distance...200-500 mets we have steel animals (armor plate) that we shoot.
. . Ok, you do have a NICE club. Ours is the largest in the Pacific NW....240 acres. I've been a member for 20 years when it barely had 2,000 members....mainly Fudds with shotguns and bolt actions. We used to have 4 relays at every silhouette match and if you weren't there 30 minutes before the start you didn't get a spot.Sixgun wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:22 pm "Pinch a loaf"???....that is f funny...
Yea...we do have a nice club...it's actually the nicest club other than Ridgway Rifle Club that I've even been to......100 yd rifle range, 25 yd pistol range, 100 yd muzzleloader range, 100,200,300.385,and 500 meter range..(all in one)...then there's a shotgun range that's as big as a couple of football fields, an archery range that's just as big as the shotgun ranges, a "walk through" and a stationary sporting clays range.....(the walk through must be a half mile long and guys use their own carts, like Gunny has), a "walk through the woods archery range" with 15' platforms you climb up.
The club house has an indoor archery range and pistol range....air conditioned, heated with a full kitchen...like 6 bathrooms...
On the long silhouette range we have a hang out house about 28 x 40 that's heated and air conditioned with refrigerator (that I donated...thing ate up a lot of electricity)
All of the grass is manicured by outside landscapers..I think it's about 150 acres...trout stream...
For 30 years I seldom went more than a week or two without going there and I was only there once last year and about 3 times the year before..Covid...
I'd pay $500-1,000 a year if they raised it....
Thanks jdad.....I see from your writing that interest in the silhouette game is waning nationwide.....In High Power, it got so bad that the remaining 5 guys were included with our benchrest 1/2 scale game....THATS FUN.....we had new thick targets made to the same scale as pistol caliber silhouette. As expected most guys use that crazy Creedmore cartridge......it's not as easy as it sounds as the wind changes and we are on the clock........took three years with 30 guys using custom match rifles to get a 40x40. Best I ever did was a 32x40 using a stock Colt M-4 16" in .223 with a Nightforce NXS......even used the BAR one time....believe a 26x40.jdad wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 9:07 am NW....240 acres.

It's now become a 6,000 member, 1-2 year waiting list to join, tactical training center. There's rarely a full relay at the silhouette matches any more. IPSC, 3 gun, etc matches are always full.
If you want to compete in any shooting discipline you can find it on the calendar. https://tcgc.org/
It's never crowded and like Six's club there's no 50BMG or full auto, no more than 2 rounds fired per second (unless it's a match), no mag limits. I only pay about $200/year and the rules are common sense, but strictly enforced.....uncase and case all firearms at the bench (firearms must be cased entering any range), shoulder the rifle with the muzzle down not muzzle up and then shoulder, no more than 3 guests,etc. The biggest PITA is you must be within an arms reach of a guest when they are shooting, you are not allowed to shoot when a guest is shooting, and only one guest can shoot at a time. You're responsible for making sure they follow the rules. I hardly ever take anyone becuase the majority just want to do mag dumps with their AR's and pistols.OldWin wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:46 pm Six THOUSAND members? WTF? There aren't that many people in the TOWN our range is in. There is maybe a couple hundred in ours, but I doubt it.
Quite honestly, I wouldn't care to shoot at those big time mucky muck places. Too many people, whiners, and rules. When my kid was down in Virginia, he belonged to one and you couldn't shoot OFFHAND!? So, I guess unless you're a bench rest shooter, I don't see the point.
Most days at mine there is nobody else there. I really like the one my kid belongs to now on Kodiak Island. Very nice benches and a 500yd range. Both times I've been there.... not a soul. Perfect. I think the dues were about the same as ours. Thirty bucks. We only have a 200yd, at ours though. Of course, we don't have to be on the lookout for 1200lb bears while we shoot. Like us, his isn't plowed, so if you want to shoot there in winter you have about a mile of winching your Jeep to get in. He also has an insane cross wind.
I shot Jack's old 1895 in 35wcf there.
...the kind that will spin your body around if the bit catches.........drilled 6 holes (3/8ths) a couple of feet apart near the end of the cement patio, near the house. Then I mixed up a quart of bleach and a quart of vinegar....whew! clorine gas.....got a funnel and poured in equal amounts into each hole,....GONE BABY...GONE! I drilled through the 4" of cement into the gravel and I gassed em!
