ASC this morning

[IXLR8]

It would take me all day to get sighted in. My first cold shot is always a flyer. If I had to cool the barrel after every shot, it would take a while.

When the barrel warms it comes right in where it is sighted. Hunting rifles must be inherently more accurate on the first shot than the scary black rifles that I normally shoot.

I would agree with MK on that one.

I will be heading out to ASC this morning.

Looks like it should be a beautiful day with light winds coming from the north for most of the morning.

Gobble, gobble.

 

[IXLR8]

ASC must be really busy. It sounds like a big firefight at my house... (without the FA weapons, or rockets)
I can usually hear some muffled shots, but I guess some of trees that block the noise have lost their leaves.

It almost makes me want to pack up and head over there. I am afraid my fingers would get too numb from the cold.

 

[acorneau]

Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of the Sunday regulars are there to get their shooting in since tomorrow's weather looks like a high chance of rain through most of the day.

I hit the Plinkathon at Bayou Rifles this morning so I got my shooting in for the weekend.

 

[Major Kong]

I committed TGT heresy an went to the "range that shall not be named" on Mason. It is close and I didn't have a lit of time. Got my daughter some time on the pistol.

 

[Major Kong]

Anybody heading out tomorrow morning?

I know it is going to be wet and muddy, but it is "supposed" to clear by 7:00, be sunny and in the high 50s to low 60s. Wind might be an issue. Starting at about 9:00 it will be out of the WSW at about 7mph, and shift to more SW and build to 12 by 11:00.

I haven't shot my HMR in a couple of weeks so I am heading out with that to the 100 yard line while my daughter shoots .22 at 50.

Hope to see some of y'all there.

No dice for me. We have a major renovation project at work so I get to start my work week tomorrow.

Have fun and don't forget to post up some results!

 

[Major Kong]

I thought for sure you would be out there Allen.

Work before play though. I suspect the short week b/c of Turkey Day is a factor as well. Good luck with the renovation.

MK : Did they have anything in name that shall not be mentioned range showroom? It was almost empty the last time I was there.

You have to admit that it is a very nice range, for pistols and such...

It is a nice range for pistols and shooting .22lr without wind effects. I see no point in shooting AR's and such at such short distances.

It was pretty empty last weekend; however, before the s**t storm erupted I had "liked" them on Facebook. I saw a post around mid-week that they had just received a large shipment of inventory.

When I was there last weekend, they charged me for a lane for my daughter before realizing she was only 16. Apparently they want anyone under 18 supervised (shooting the same lane) by an "adult". Instead of refunding my card, they gave me a card for a free hour of range time. I will probably use it this week and will report back what I see.

Wandered in there today (not by choice, my neighbor wanted to go). That place looks like what I imagine the old soviet empty store/food shelves might have looked like. The employees looked about as equally "happy"

 

[acorneau]

I'll be heading out to ASC tomorrow morning. Weather should be nice with relatively calm wind, just remember to bring your boots because I'm sure it will be muddy out there!

 

[Major Kong]

Not going to be able to make it.

 

[IXLR8]

The range was popping all afternoon. Must be a lot of people off. Even with the wind and cold it seemed busier than normal for a weekday.

Anyone for a Friday range trip to ASC?

 

[Major Kong]

I was just out there. It WAS crowded. And freakin' cold too!

You must not be fat enough to appreciate the weather.

 

[IXLR8]

The ASC website said they are open on New Years Day as well 9-5.

Major Kong, how muddy was it?

 

[Major Kong]

Nope. Not fat enough to appreciate the weather Jakashh.

IXLR8 - They are open until 5 tomorrow. It wasn't just muddy. I could see a pond in the 100 yard line. I was expecting some ducks to land any minute to feed.

I can confirm that, Major Kong is more of a "65 degree" kind of guy.


No-go for me on a Friday range trip, gotta work.

Sure hoping for some good weather on Sunday, though.
