Any DFW area forum members use Quail Creek Shooting Range?
Any opinions or thoughts?

    When im at the range, and im shooting, just doing my thing, sometimes people who arent shooting stand behind and watch other shooters, and sometimes when im done, they ask questions or just want to shoot the bull, they ask what im shooting, what im using, yada yada, and i always offer to let them shoot whatever i brought, but i usually get a wierd look and they dont want to shoot. You think theyre scared to shoot some one elses gun, or am i just weird for offering?

    I've got a 7.5 acre pasture, no animals, and I'm thinking of setting up my own 100 yd. range for sighting in rifles and pistols. Right now I just use a big old oak tree stump for a backstop and wanted some suggestions on making a real backstop for stopping high power rifle rounds. Behind my pasture is my Dad's 90 acres of dense woods, so if I do get a stray it won't go far or hit any houses. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this venture, just want a nice backstop just because I'd feel better.

    A dead intruder cannot testify against you in a court of law!

    If they're still moving, put another round in them!

    I just got back from shooting my 10/22 at the shooting range for the first time.[^] The Remington hollowpoint ammo I had missfired 7 times, and jammed twice.[:(]

    Anybody that lives here in Penn. have access or own a range that will allow bench shooting at 500+ yds. Even portions of the Hillbilly state(W.Virginia) or north west Maryland. I am bored to death with only being able to shoot 200yds and I would really like to see what my 7mm can do at over 200. It cuts holes at 100 yds and sub 1" at 200y. I really need to see what it can do. I'm kinda like a 16 year old with the first chance at driving dad's camaro. I gotta see what it will do! just to brag to you .22-250 guys, I just chronographed at sierra 100 grain varmiter at 4162 fps, slight over charge but WOW! and here I thought only a .250 would do that!

    Where do you shoot at 200 yards? The longest I know of is 100 yds at Clark Brothers in Warrenton, Va. I'd love to take my Remingtons out past 100 yds.

    My club, in Pelham, NH is finishing up a new 600 yard range. Quite a rarity these days, especially with urban sprawl, but they had enough land to do it.

    Not to do a one-upper, but here in SE Washington state, we have a 1000 yard range for our club. We also are open to the public on weekends. Fee is $4.00 per day and we only ask that you obey the safety rules and the R.O.s and wear eye and ear protection and keep it clean.For anyone interested, the web site is: http://home.att.net/~tcsa-rmsf/ Hope some of you folks can visit us.

    I just may do that Luger, since I'm in SW Washington. Wouldn't be too far of a drive for me. There are no 1K ranges out here, just a piddly 100 yarder.
