Sounds like we need to either score some private land or come up with a place that has some space and wouldn't mind a group of shooters hanging out together. I could probably do the private land thing, but I don't think anyone wants to drive to Gilmer.
http://www.apgtraining.com/index.asp This is an out doors range that has 2 pistol bays and a 300 yard rifle range. It costs $15 a day but if you have enough people, it can be rented for $160. Our IDPA club shoots there on the second Saturday of the month.
APG is a decent place. If you mapquest it, the range itself is South on the county road to the left or right of where mapquest puts the address.
It does have a small covered area with a picnic table. We could shoot in the AM & take lunch or grab something in Greenville if folks were so inclined.
The 1st, 3rd or 5th weekend of the month works great for us... my niece stays with my sister and we can have her watch our daughter and be kid free!! The weekend of aug 30th is the big ft worth show so that weekend would be out for us, going to get a new gun then!!
Sounds good, I work out of state right now so i'm gone for a little while. I know you've got a range pretty much set but another to consider, a little far is out in mineral wells, I don't know if we could but if we organize an event we might be able to shoot there, I think they hold NRA shooting events there, it's 1000 yds. Just something to look into. So are there some people out there wanting to shoot old bolts or is this pretty much going to be a lot of plastic showing up?
