Ok. Looks like some of us have settled on the first Sunday in December. Now all we need to do is settle on a time. Those who RSVP will get directions to my place. By the way, i have a decent sized pond that i love to shoot at sticks in... that's a lot of fun too.
I am set up to where three or four can maybe shoot at once: One prone on top of a 15 foot tower.... one inside the tower (on the lower level where there is a bench rest table) or PRONE on the lower level (under that table). and then then there are two more bench rest tables, one inside of a deer blind actually. I have target stands at 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 meters. I also have backstops that have not been developed into proper target stands at 250 and 300 meters. Also, a diagonal shot across my property onto a large 2 x 3 foot one inch thick metal plate is also possible but not normally available unless you are very certain to hit it ( since a miss will go onto my neighbors land and i avoid doing that to them ). That's a 386 meter shot...
I will submit some pictures of my range so you can get an idea. Mind you, this is a homemade setup, nothing fancy. Also, it should be noted that i am counting on the attendees to behave responsibly and i assume no liability if you do something stupid to hurt yourself or someone else.
Anyway, let me know who is coming, lets set a time, and lets do it. Everyone bring whatever you will eat or drink, i do have restrooms ( even though my house is partially still under construction).
