I'm off to Indiana tomorro to cull does from a good friend's ranch.I have tried for the last ten days to get somone to go to the range with me to shoot. I have shot my rifles alone. Anyone have any idea why gun owners no longer enjoy using thier firearms.I realize that indoor 30 meter ranges arent that challenging, buy it's a place to shoot.... If anyone knows of an outdoor range in the West Palm BEach area ,i'd like to know about them. I'll be bringing alot of venison home and vac-packin it for the deep freeze. Not much of a topic, but somthing that seems wrong..

    More of a general discussion topic. I would prefer to shoot rifles at something more than a 90 meter range. That just won't tell me what I need to know with a rifle.

    Good luck with the hunt.

    Southwest Indiana .This will be my first hunt there. Flyin into Louiville. It's a cull hunt with an option for a wallhanger next winter
    The owner of the 5,300 acre ranch is an outfitter and is having his brother and myself try to deplete the doe pop.from 5 to 1. I know it's not gonna be like "shootin fish in a barrel" but i suppose alot of good folks here in So. Florida will be enjoying a bunch of redmeat this winter.

    Here in Northern Nevada, It has been getting dark at about 4pm, been raining or snowing the past week, been in the 30s most of the past couple weeks. Need some more reasons?

    The public range I go too is basically just an extension of the dump. I don't shoot on the "shared" range anymore because there are too many idiots there that don't know what they are doing. They have about 4 "private" shooting stalls that are first come/first serve. If I get one of those I will shoot, otherwise I am driving home.

    Also, I have been hording my ammo lately, just in case. [;)]
