myrtle grove today

[Suleiman]

he doesnt reload.. sad part.. he sells them by weight at the recycler.

No way... he was very particular about the brass he picked up. Only .45 and 5.56. My buddy had all kinds of older stuff and he wanted no part in that brass.

Sorry bud, but I know who he was picking those up for...


I'll share them though, I'm tripping over bags of brass right now.

well.. got plenty of space on my workshop floor... dont want you to hurt yourself and i'll be happy to clear some of them bags..

 

[BradMacc82]

I'm sure..., it's for my safety after all...


Got to watch out for Al's range pickings though, he doesn't leave the small primer's out, so there is a bit of sorting to do when he gives brass away.

Best time to visit the range

Could you guys that frequent the range a lot tell me when is the best time to show up to avoid crowds and idiots? Assuming you could go any time you wanted.
Thanks.

When its closed

Sorry my inner smartass is showing a little today.

Days that aren't perfect weather tend to be pretty good. If you can stand a little rain or snow while shooting. If the weathers good its hit or miss, you never know who and how many are going to show up.

Yeah I went a few times last year when it was drizzling out, and it was me and a good ole boy shooting in his hunting rifles and plinking with a .22

New to area, when does this range shut down for the year? Or does it even close for the cold season. Looking for a place not to far to shoot for a cheap price.

or maybe longer depends on how much cleanup/fixing they need to do.

Yep.

Last time they closed for 2 extra weeks (IIRC), to repair all the damage done by jackwagons that don't care about what they're shooting at.


With that said, for the newer people that haven't been there before -

Keep your target within the orange mesh on the stand, you can use cardboard as a backer, provided it's within the mesh. Clothespins are provided, please don't staple targets to the stands - if anything, bring duct tape. That doesn't damage the stands.

Keep your stand away from the columns - if it means eye-balling the location from your shooting position to make sure it's clear, please do so.

And if you haven't been there before, Please - read the rules, and follow them. Thank you.



Getting off my soapbox now...

I'm hoping for this weekend, I still got that Surefire mag to test out, and some new loads to test/evaluate.

 

[Meyerk84]

Thanks for the hours and info. hope to get out there this weekend.

I think we should plan a "MDS Clay Shoot" one weekend.

Everybody bring a box of clays and some boxes of shells and pile them up and we just have a big round table of revolving shooters. No competitions. No issues. Hot Dogs and sodas all around. Hell we can throw some hot dogs in the clay thrower too. SPLAT...

Maybe MDS can supply a couple items from the Store and we can have a small contest for the guy / gal who shoots the most in a row gets a t-shirt, hat, or something of some kind.

Shoot until you miss and then the next shooter steps on the deck.

That way if you suck. you set. Rule is simple.

The DNR guy (big beard, Dan?) was out there on Sunday setting everyone straight on the rules. It was helpful to get some first-hand thoughts from him on proper etiquette and the stuff he has to deal with.

I like the idea.
