OPEN INGO SHOOT APRIL 17 @ProTEQ in Brazil!

[Cameramonkey]

Purple was implied of course.

Edit: I MIGHT try something this crazy if I were on my own private range. And even then I wouldnt even consider it unless I was wearing some type of full face shield (paintball, etc) over my ballistic glasses.

That is just asking for bullets to go over the berm.

Are we planning any kind of competitions? Dueling tree, plate rack, quickest to cut a watermelon in half with a 22 lr Maybe a mod can bring some swag for prizes?

Yes, and guess whose house is in the line of fire over the top of the pistol range.

Mom45?

 

[IndyDave1776]

Mom45?

No, that would be mine. I am about ready to move back where I grew up, which on the next road from Don's.

Last fall it wasnt that busy. Just people floating in and out shooting throughout the day.

I can bring a few targets. We shot some of the first one below and it was fun. But it could be a running event throughout the day with the best scores posted the next day? The first one could be used for either rifle or pistol depending on which range it is set up at.

And you are welcome to bring your steel. We had a user set up a gong last year that was a lot of fun.

Also the section of the range we will be at has a 22lr steel bay with permanent steel targets. Lots of targets to plink at with your rimfires. My kids love that one.

And Don did say Tannerite was allowed at this event. (it isnt normally) Anything we do just has to be safe and respectful of the property. IF you choose to shoot produce, you MUST be prepared to clean it up.

I want to make it out for this, only two this stand in my way; I don't know where Brazil IN is, and I'll have to make sure to get time off for it.

Let me google that for you

(sorry, couldnt resist)

 

[Clay]

Hopefully I can be there. Nothing on the schedule for me at this point.

It looks like no matter which way I go, it's about 3 hours.

 

[Double T]

I actually have this weekend off of work. Sounds like fun.

 

[Caleb]

I might have to make the incredibly long drive from Nashville to partake in this springtime fun...what the yardage on the range?

 

[wtburnette]

I hope to be able to make this event, sounds like fun!

150 yards. Maybe 200 by the time we get there. Don is slowly expanding it to 500.

 

[Clay]

there is currently a 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 yard line. Don requires permission to shoot on the 300 yard range due to issues with people trying to use it and not knowing what they are doing

not know what they are doing?

 

[Cameramonkey]

not know what they are doing?

proper muzzle control, etc. He doesnt want people who dont understand proper holdover, etc sending flyers over the treetops and off property.

We will actually be in the South Valley with the 200 yard, rimfire bay, etc.

I have a hard time seeing this......

He was explaining that to us on my last visit and I do see his point.

I agree with Don's point with all my heart. I really don't want holes in my roof!

Damn. So I guess we should scratch the en-masse AR skeet shooting event from the day's schedule? I figured with us ALL shooting at them, ONE of us was bound to break a bird.
