That's the spot. You'll have to reserve room, or contact somebody already on a campsite. I've got a couple extra folks on mine already, but, there's other folks on campsites. They do have dedicated tent camping, and it isn't an overly big campground, so nothing there is far.

 

[Moderator]

Nickle how big is the place we are shooting at?

 

[Nickle]

It's a fairly small old gravel pit. The far berm is about 100 yards, the "firing line" is about 30 feet or more wide. It opens up a fair amount from the firing line.

Here's some more pics from this past weekend.

Oh, you just hadda post that link, Roger! Now I'm all excited and can't wait for Memorial Day weekend!

And I just went shooting Saturday, too... I don't think there's any cure for me except more shooting. ("Hello, my name is Ross and I'm a shooter. It's been three days since I shot last...")

 

[Twigg]

This is gonna be a great weekend !

 

[Moderator]

Looks plenty big enough for me to have fun.

 

[Nickle]

TypeO, what do you plan on bringing?

And, MrT, I'll bring up some paperwork for you to take with you. We're going to corrupt you in Grand Fashion, for sure.

 

[Moderator]

1 AR, 1 AK, a pistol or two, and plenty of food for them.

 

[Nickle]

That'll be no problem. When you were asking about space, I was wondering if you were bringing anything odd. Lots of room for reactive targets. We can't shoot tracers or use anything that creates flames. Tannerite would be a bad idea as well. Jugs/bottles and water (or flour), on the other hand, would work.

 

[Admin]

What about people? Can I shoot some of them?

Well now that just SUCKS!

I'm out!

[Nickle]

Adam, you should see some of my handiwork at other places. You'll understand why no tracers. I put them to good use.

 

[Admin]

That'll buff right out.

 

[Nickle]

It's amazing what 5.56 NATO tracers do to gas tanks. Apparently, I was about the only person that day that had tracers with me. I put 7.62 NATO tracers to good use as well.

 

[Adam_MA]

I've seen what tracers and incendiary rounds will do... That's why I want to use them!

 

[Nickle]

Adam, we'll have to go up to Eden sometime. That's where I popped the car.

I almost forgot, I'll be rocking the house with the .17hmr as well. I just mounted... ah placed my BSA Mildot on it.

[Twigg]

All I've got for rifles right now are a couple of .22's. (Marlin 60, a Tula bolt action, both scoped, a single shot Rossi and a Henry Survival .22 ) I will also bring a couple of folding tables & chairs for folks who don't like to shoot while sitting on the ground (Like me.) . I'm trying to find time to build a proper shooting table/bench before the trip.

[Moderator]

Wow, Nothing like setting the bar.

 

[Nickle]

Yeah, but I don't have to bring it far. I'm also going to corrupt Mr Twigg, as well as a few others.

I forgot to mention that I may bring my Remington 600 in 308 as well. It doesn't look like a Model 600 any more. Isn't light, either.

 

[Moderator]

I may have a new gun or two by the campout, so I guess my list isn't set in stone.

 

[Nickle]

Oh, there will be lots of nifty stuff there.

 

[Twigg]

Go on, twist my arm !

Finally got my C&R app in the mail today ...dang thing dissapeared under a mountain of crap in my office/den.

Hmmmmm Maybe I should bring my 600 in .350 Remington magnum. It's still light, and it's been a while since I hurt myself intentionally!

 

[Nickle]

If you ever want to get rid of it, let me know. I have a buyer for you.

My Model 600 has a Hart barrel and McMillan Stock these days. Weighs 10 pounds, when a T-6 Weaver is sitting on it. IBS Hunter Class.
