Got some shooting time in today a few guys at the pistol side sighting in ARs,yep at the 7 yard line,!

I struggle not to LOL at people doing that. Really?! you can't do a base 50yd zero?

I was up there this morning early to try and sight in the sr762. Really cold and windy, so accuracy was all over the place. I was the only one stupid enough to be out there!

Had a couple of decent groups after getting it zeroed. Had 2 ftf early on. Thought it was due to gun show special ammo. Then I happened with the good stuff. Bolt locked forward almost all the way closed and I couldn't pull it back! Had to pry bolt back to free it with live round in chamber. Disassembled, brushed out chamber good, noticed bolt assembly was dry. Had no gun oil. Used air tool oil instead. Reassembled and it was flawless after that. Amazing what a little lube will do!

Went to pistol side and shot the rough rider for 50 rounds. Somebody else came and shot 50 yd rifle for about 25 mins and left. Shot the pm9 for a few and left. Had the heat on high the whole way home!

I should have brought a magnet an a rake and cleaned up some of the steel casings. Probably wouldn't have taken that long. Target frames looked to be in decent shape.

Got there just after 2 today and it was a little crowded, as I suspected on a sunny day, but it opened up soon enough. One frame on each pistol side is broken and collapsed, and there's a lot of crap laying on the range - shot up bottles, paper plates and plastic flower pots. It really needs a good spring cleaning, and a trash barrel or two, as if people would use them.

On the plus side, I finally got to give the Canik TP9SA a fair workout, and I was very happy with the results. This is a fine, fine shooting gun, for sure.

humm We have a ton of the blue plastic drums @ work and can't get rid of them. I wonder if the PGC would be mad if I cut the tops off a couple and donated them.

[harp28]

Great idea.

We should start a pool on how long it will take for them to get shot up and/or stolen.

Frames were patched when I got there today, so there were 3 stations on each side of the pistol range open for business and someone cleaned up most of the trash. Thanks to whomever. You don't think they monitor this site, do ya?

Also saw a PGC officer there checking permits/licenses, that's the first time I'd ever seen any official. Looked like everyone was legit.

[Rosco the Iroc]

damm, you should of asked him about bringing up the drums.

[puro]

I've heard about bullets actually entering the barrel and spinning around. I've never seen it first hand but seems like a scary situation. Haven't been to the range in a long time... and I even live a little closer now lol.
