Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
I think we have already chatted about WWII rifles when I was shooting a HRA M1 Garand. I'm usually up there with 2 friends, one drives a big red Dodge Ram, the other a red Jeep Liberty and I was driving a Black Grand Prix and now a Blue/Grey Nissan Maxima. We shoot a lot on the 100 yard range too...
I won't be there from now until after hunting season opens. All the yahoos who only shoot their gun once a year to make sure the scope is good just before hunting season starts are up there now! You know the ones, they cover everyone on the line while holding their rifle as they spin around and talk to their friends or to yell at their kids who are running all over the place with no ear or eye protection on!

Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
I've had some strange experiences with other shooters who do not follow the safety rules at Archbald, too. I can't wait to see than Ransom Range get open. Closer drive for me and all sorts of ranges and professional managment.
The plans I saw have rifle firing lines at 100, 200, 300, 450, 600, 800 and 1,000 yds.

Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
I hope you guys are right about the Ransom range opening.I was under the impression that the bureaucrates would not approve it. It would be nice to have a private range close to where I live.

Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
A range opening @ Ransom would be great! That would be about half the distance than Archbald from my house. As long as it doesn't get like the Suscon range with all the yahoos shooting the place up!

Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
This range is going to be a business, pay to play, and before you are allowed to shoot you must go through a range orientation, you act up, you get put out.
This range, when it opens, may well be the safest place to shoot, plus they will have firearm instruction classes.
This info is here because of a member who has kept us all up to date on the progress, a shout out to LadySharpShooter.
Send some rep her way people.Government 99 and 44/100 % pure bullshit.

Re: Archbald: Range Rules Clarified
It is sad that a legitimate business that is investing a lot of $ in this area is being harassed so much. And then the County Commissioners all say they want more jobs and economic development!
Last night they had a planning commission meeting. I'll see if any media comes out from it, and post on the Range Thread, not this one.
