Re: Bucktails.
I'm glad you like it. It's a nice little club. You'll usually find me with my GSG 1911-22 in the indoor basement range.

Re: Bucktails.
I was a member, there, for a couple of years. I shot some skeet, and trap, but spent most of my time on the rifle range. They do have some rules that probably made sense, at one time, but are a little annoying. For instance, no guests are allowed, at all, during the month of November. You can't even bring your brother, if he's not a member, to sight in his rifle before opening day. Hmm.
The politics at the meetings were ridiculous, at times, with some very immature older men acting like little kids. At one meeting, I thought there was going to be a fist fight.
They have some really nice events, with great food, and there are some really good people there, too.
I decided to take advantage of the weak real estate market and bought a farm so I can make my own rules.Kevin Singleton, Potawatomi - {ZRT - Sector 4}

Re: Bucktails.
I haven't been to a meeting yet due to my work schedule, but have been to the rifle range a few times. It was empty twice and had a couple of other shooters, including a young kid, once. I open carried each time, no one bothered me.
I am curious to see how open carry is received at the meetings, and since you mentioned grumpy old men, I have a feeling that some may have a negative opinion about it.

Re: Bucktails.
There are "Fudds". There are women, and some younger people, but mostly there are the guys who've been there since rocks were soft, and they are dead set against changing anything.
Don't let me deter you, though. It's a great range, most days, especially since the rifle benches were rebuilt. If they're shooting skeet, or trap, though, you're going to get crumbs on your truck.Kevin Singleton, Potawatomi - {ZRT - Sector 4}
