Thanks for the heads-up on the holsters. I've lived in Carroll County for several years, but have never been to Hap. I'm planning on going there this week to check it out and likely purchase a year pass. The price sure beats what I spend a year at other ranges. It is nice to live someplace where there is still open space to have an outdoor range.
As a note, I saw some postings regarding the wind issues on the pistol range. One idea would be to use a piece of cardboard behind your target. Then attach a piece of mason line to the bottom edge of the cardboard that would extend downward to ground with a medium fishing weight (NOT a small anchor) attached. The cardboard and the line system should be able to support the slight drag of the fishing weight. This would likely settle down the wind effects on the target. (The mason line, being thicker than fishing line, would be visible, for easy finding of weight, should the line become detached from the target.) Since the weight would always be at ground level, it would not create a ricochet hazard. Will have to ask the RO's if this would be allowable.
