Great idea,,,,,,,,,how is the place on a Sunday? Is it really crowded down there?

Marylandfisherman · Apr 25, 2012

I was there in the early afternoon yesterday with the wife and stepson #2, and there were 4-5 guys there, who left shortly after we arrived. How is it on a Sunday? We are trying to get stepson #1 out with his HD shotgun for a little "family time"...

If the weather is anything remotely decent Sunday will be packed. Last time I was there a few weeks ago they were lined up close to the parking lot waiting.

What I expected, but now I have some "firsthand knowledge" to share with everybody involved. :thumbsup:

How where do people set up their chronographs at mg? Do you set them up on the tables? Just in front? Or a couple yards down range?

tommy gunn · Apr 26, 2012

The guy i saw yesterday had his set up about 5 yards down range past the table.

rickyp · Apr 26, 2012

I set mine up on a camera tripod and at about 10 feet from the bench. The distance depends on what you are shooting. a shotgun or muzleloader you want it closer so the sabot wont fly up and hit the unit, if you are using a high power rifle you want it fourther back so the blast wont knock it over or give faulse readings/

BradMacc82 · Apr 26, 2012

Just for the love of god, set up your chrony while the range is cold, we have had people walk onto a hot range to set up before.

I have seen someone with a chrono step out and retrieve it while the line was hot, ‘but its only a couple feet in front of the table'. . . dont be that guy :sad20:

I will be there tomorrow bright and early bec they are calling for rain on Saturday.

Different chronos react differently. I suspect lighting conditions also have an affect on it. You have to experiment a bit. I put mine on a big camera tripod about 10ft from the table for my 1911. Any closer and muzzle blast seems to affect it. I don't want it too far away because its too expensive to shoot it by accident.

Darwin in action

HokieCasey · Apr 26, 2012

Nah....I'm not a candidate for a darwin award. More in the planning phases for when I start 300 blk subsonic reloading now that the stamps are in. Plus I have the 25ft remote display on my chrono.

Niftyvt where you there two weeks ago? With you buddies and multiple pistols?

yep. But DNR does come in from time to time...

BradMacc82 · Apr 26, 2012

They've come in every single time I've been there lately - so, just be aware of the possibility DNR may be there sometime during the day.

maybe they are following you...and you bring them in :innocent0

BradMacc82 · Apr 27, 2012

Wouldn't be the first time something like that's happened, won't be the last either I'd bet.

Well, I'll see if they stop by today, want to get some range time in with the .45 and my hand-loads.

MdMedic · Apr 27, 2012

Took my wife for her first MG trip. We blew through 200 rounds with my new Sigpro. Turns out she is a pretty good shot and a quick study. We will be back.

rickyp · Apr 27, 2012

The wife and I went this morning, with my new to me ruger 10/22, ar15 in 22 LR and a few 22 L.r. handguns. and she had her rossie 357 mag.
We went trough a lot of 22 L.R. rounds and she loved the ar15.

Now that I know the 10/22 runs good it is time to start the fun of customizing it.
