San Antonio TGT Range Day Sept 23rd Bexar Community

[jcrntx]

Anybody bringing an AK to the shoot. Klacktor's thread has me thinking I want one and would love to put a few rounds downrange. Shot 7.62 through my sks's but have never fired an AK. Let me know and I can pick up some ammo!

 

[jcrntx]

I'm planning on killing clay and paper!

I plan on scaring clay and wounding paper. If I hit one I will be amazed...

[/B]On a side note I would definitely suggest everyone remember that even though it is late September this is still south Texas so plan accordingly. They do sell drinks and stuff but they also allow you to bring your own refreshments and coolers are ok as well so remember to hydrate! If you're burn like I do remember it's all outdoors so sunscreen is recommended, other than that bring what you think you'll need, if you've never been to Bexar Community before you can drive to the different ranges but they are not far from each other. Looking forward to this weekend and meeting a lot of you, if you want my contact info feel free to PM me. Also any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns feel free to post them up here after all that's what this thread is for.

do they take visa, or should we bring cash?

They definitely take cash or card, but you might have to call and see if they specifically take visa (don't know why they wouldn't though)

 

[M. Sage]

I'm looking forward to Sunday! Let me cover a couple of things, "just in case". Not everybody's been to a public range, and if there are first-time shooters, this is good stuff to cover.

Just so everybody knows, the office is near the front, just as you're getting to the first skeet range. Stop in there to sign in and pay, then you can head back and shoot.

If you're bringing first timers, make sure you keep an eye out for them.

They only want you shooting at the targets they provide. Don't bother bringing reactive targets to throw out there, etc. because they won't like that. They're very worried about someone chasing a target around and ending up with bullets over the berm. They're "no rapid fire", but as long as you're not bump firing or dumping magazines as fast as you can, you won't have a problem (I never have). Just keep shots on target, everything's cool - they're really the most range-nazi-free (as opposed to free range nazi) range I've been to outside shooting in a national forest.

Not everybody has shot on a public range, so let me just go over some things. To get a cease fire, it's up to you to get the line stopped. Usually just wander down the line asking people to for a cease fire when they're ready. Nobody gets butthurt unless you're asking every two minutes. At cease fire, unload and lock actions open, guns on the bench, and step away. Please don't handle guns during a cease fire - it makes people nervous and angry. If you do, someone will probably yell, and you might get called a name or two. Sometimes people get confused on the rifle line and think the 25 yard line is separate from the 50/100/200. It isn't. If you need to go downrange, the entire line needs to be cold. Don't just wander out to change a target - like handling a gun during a cease fire, this might get you cussed by one of the other shooters.

If you haven't shot at a public range before, or have any questions, or need help with first timers, track me down and I'll be happy to help. If Mike Arnold is on the pistol line (look for a Trailblazer with a CHL-themed vanity plate), it's a good opportunity to get a good free basic pistol lesson.

do they take visa, or should we bring cash?

They do take Visa.

For reloaders, they usually have a pretty good selection of powders and primers. A lot of their supplies are geared toward shotgun reloading, but they have pistol and rifle primers, and suitable powders. Just FYI.

Is this going to be a pot luck thing as well, are we planning to go somewhere to eat, or is there a plan at all for vittles.

 

[Skip]

Wish I could make this, but the guns are gone. I do recall though, the last time I was out there they didn't care for us shooting the 50 cal. That may have changed, I'm not sure how they feel about them now.

 

[fuelfather]

They didn't mind the 50cal being shot. It was more of the mass of 50cal rounds shot that worried them with regards to the neighbors.

 

[Skip]

Ok

That little diner down the road is pretty good, they always appreciated the business as well.

Come on out anyways Skip, there will be plenty to shoot, and I have some spare 22, 9mm, 223 and 40 you are welcome to use, and a box of 38 I bought to try out M. Sage's Colt. Will get a little 7.62 x 39 tomorrow so I can hopefully try out an AK.

Yep, think the plan was to grab a bite after shooting.

I believe that is the plan, obviously some will stay later than others so pretty much to you what you do.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Y'all have fun! Wish I could make it.

There will be plenty of guns Skip. You can ride with me if you want.

My wife and I are planning on going. I will bring the pistol boxes with several 38's. 9's, 40's and 45's. I will through in a 22, 32, and 380 also. Not sure which rifles or shotguns I might bring too. Stopped by there today to check it out, real nice place and super nice people in charge.
