I went to the range yesterday afternoon, Was there when they opened. it filled up fast. and it was quite warm but not bad.

I did have a good time, i just hope i didn't annoy to many people by shooting my very large rifle.

Henry was there and he was polite and minded his manners.

Heads up the 2015 Myrte Grove WMA Shooting permits expire in 1 Week "July 31 2015" next Friday time to renew your permit. So easy online with a CC $20 for a years access. Beats $5 at the door every time you go.

Thanks for the reminder, as I always forget since I don't go to the range much in the heat of summer.

Had the range to myself for about 5 minutes today before this 20 something guy shows up. Wouldn't have been an issue except I got a bad feeling just looking at him. Dark, sunken, eyes. Gauges in his ears. Tatoos (i know, judging a book by it's cover). He had a Sig 40 cal. I asked him if we were good to go hot and he said "yes". I said "what about your ear pro?". He shrugged it off, then as an after thought, asked what I was shooting. To which I replied 9mm and he was like "ok, I'm good" I thought "they're your ears buddy" and emptied a mag. After that he stood up to shoot so I stayed back, pistol holstered, condition 1, and watched him do his thing. He had an issue with his magazine staying in after his first shot. He slammed it up and took another. The mag just about fell all the way out. He grabbed it, thought about it for a second then this ****ing guy muzzle swept me, and himself! I loaded up my shit and left. He knew how to shoot. He had a good hold and stance, and hit his target at 10 yards. If someone knows him, give this guy a range ettique lesson.

Went down Friday afternoon with m brother. Saw a couple faces I have seen before and spent about an hour just plinking away with my M1, AR-15, XD, and walther P22. Not a bad day at the ange but I think the guy at the next table was kinda bent outta shape at being peppered with brass. He shot like 5 rounds then packed up and left....

What about this? I have a mini-14 and it throws brass half the width of the shooting tables. I apologized to the people who were being hit with brass, but I can't always get the far right bench. I've even tried duct taping a piece of cardboard to the rifle but it only stays on through a couple of magazines.

I understand if you don like to be peppered with brass and if you say something to me I am more than willing to try to fix the problem, there was at least two open tables (including one to the left of mine). Personally, I know that getting hit with errant brass is just part of going to the range so I don't let it bother me, but maybe that's just me. I felt kinda bad that the guy didn't even try to ask me to do something different and just left though.

From a old thread http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=35258&highlight=BRASS+CATCHER more for saving your brass for re-loading but I guess it could work to keep someone elses brass from getting to you

Rick3bears · Sep 1, 2015

Yeah. I guess maybe I'll look into a brass catcher.I try to be a good shooter and aware of those around me. Heck. It'll keep my old butt from having to bend over to police up my brass before I leave.

Prone/sitting shooting

What are the rules (if any) or consensus for shooting prone and sitting at Myrtle Grove? If/when I do it, I'm careful to lay my shooting mat such that's it out of the way of the adjacent bench and not in the walkway behind the benches. I'm also careful to keep behind the firing line and to position my target such that the bullets hit the berm, not the ground or baffles.

Is this generally accepted as OK?

Went yesterday about 1030-1200. Full but no one waiting. As someone would leave someone else would show up. Dan (I think that's his name) the DNR guy showed up for a while. I asked him about the destroyed baffles and how bad things were getting. He basically told me he is not allowed to solicit help for a project but if someone would call headquarters around the first of November :innocent0

and inquire about volunteering to help that would get the ball rolling. He's planning on the Monday after Thanksgiving. IIRC someone on here last year coordinated a group to help out?

Rick3bears · Nov 17, 2015

Has anybody heard of anyone being hasseled by DNR or MSP ( I know they drop by) for shooting an AK at MG? It's a pre-2013 ban, but I don't have any paperwork to prove that. I want to check on some work I did on it. Also, any problem shooting with 20-30 rd mags?

I've never been hassled for my firearms or mags. Seen lots of aks there. But they come around every once in a while to check that you have a pass.
