We have Eagles Nest range D reserved for Sunday 2/1/15 and will be running a practice day for props and positional shooting.
I'll be out at the range by 8:30 to setup for shooting at 9am.
Eagles Nest range D is the last range up the hill at Angeles.
$10 for club members or $20 for non-members.

Current weather forecast for the 1st is 78 degrees and sunny with no chance of rain.
I would like to wrap up by 12noon if we can to keep the range fees down.
If we get at least 10 people to show up, we can use the range for the full day.
If you guys would like to turn this into a BBQ, that could also be worked out.

Please RSVP here if you are coming and if you want to do a pot luck BBQ.

In to shoot. I'l plan to bring my tank trap.

Treadstone and robojet in to shoot. Can bring a pasta salad if we do the BBQ.

I'm in.

ya ill be there , will the pistol bay next door be open to us as well ?

I'm in

What is the furthest distance you can put out paper?

I am in.

I believe it only goes to 100y. We don't need distance to practice positional at all though.

D range does not have a pistol bay next door.
Perhaps you are thinking of the B range which IS a pistol bay.

100yds.

autoessentials wrote:We don't need distance to practice positional at all though.

It would be easier to just do everything at 50yds as it makes line breaks and target swaps much easier.

I will be there

Going to try to make it since my little girl's party is at 4:00.

Perfect. 50 and 100. Great idea.

So should I print a bunch of paper IPSC's that are scaled to 1/2 our usual 100yd size as targets?

I sold my piece of shit truck this week so we won't have a truck to shoot from anymore unless someone else brings one.

Is there any reason to bring anything other than a .22 and crap ammo to this?

Realistic practice is effective practice.
Does your 22 function/recoil exactly like your centerfire gun?
If not, you are just playing, not practicing...

I plan on shooting at some 5 dot drills, hostage targets and shoot and sees mostly. If you want to print up some of the larger 5 dots and any hostage paper that would be great.

Damn. That truck was so shitty it was awesome.

If my truck didn't get 10mpg I would bring it and let everyone shoot out of it.

Since it appears we have more than 10 people and can stay at the range past noon, I'll also bring a .22 and some baby steel targets for positional/plinking and hope you guys will as well. If there are other .22s there, we might even play some games to make it more fun.

I will bring my .22 for afternoon fun.

Treadstone and robojet out. Jeff is still sick and it looks like Sunday will be too soon for him to come out and play. Sorry, we are both disappointed.

I will be bringing out my barricades for some more props. I would love to run some practice drills with a timer for anybody who would like to try it out as well.

In, to shoot

Yeah John... I have had my Technicians license since September and am running 2 Yaesu radios... a FT6O and a FT-8800.

I have to get put by noon, but you guys can stay as late as Steven or Rich want to stay.
I'll pay for the range for the whole day when I leave at noon.

Too damn many hams.

As early as about 7am, but there should not be any live fire until at least 8am per noise regulations.

see you guys tomorrow

Got it. I will get the sheet, and make certain nobody goes hot before 8 am

I should be there about 7:30

Thanks to Rich and Randall for organizing today's shoot.

I had a good time.

This, and more! I learned a LOT about what (NOT) to do!

Great practice around props, learned a lot today. Thanks for making this happen, Randall and Rich.

Thanks Randall and Rich for organizing the shoot, thanks Rich for the Bushnell Brawl pointers! And thanks Soloman for the barricade beanbag tips, that helps a lot.

I'll always remember the Teddy Bear....thanks Sam!

I know that was sick

Thanks to everyone for the hard work to put on the practice and for the tips on shooting stages better.

FYI my tank trap legs are:
2 poles are 5' long (60")
1 pole is 64" long.
With a nice bullet groove in it...
