I was just wondering about muzzle loader season is all. Unfortunately I'll be off from the 17th- 27th. I have yet to shoot my new( to me) mosin and I need some ak time.

Anybody go to MG since it reopened? I'm thinking about venturing there for the first time next week...

I shot their on Tues. Had the whole range to myself. Was a little wet and muddy, but not bad. The 100yd fencing at the end of the range was missing. When I was leaving one other guy came down and set up. Wasnt your normal mass of humanity their.

You, sir, are a professional. I guess it's good gouge to go when it's nasty out if you want a private range. I'll let you guys know when I finally make it out. I think my SKS needs out of the closet...

MG is awesome when the weather is complete poo. I have been there at least 5 times when it was raining and there was at most 2 groups including ours.

You just need a Tactical Umbrella for a comfortable shooting spot on a crappy day.

So no covered shooting areas at all?

No unfortunately there are too many ignorants that will destroy anything decent for that. It is a miracle they can stay open.

 

[MattWasHere]

Very good point. I look forward to getting out and seeing for myself!

How does management feel about someone setting up a small canopy while they're there in the rain/drizzle?

As long as it leaves with you and doesn't upset any other range users, your good to go.

*Making them envious/jealous is a whole diff't story though.

a few guys bring some huge backyard umbrellas and set them up in the summer...so they shouldnt be a prob...

 

[IJM]

Thanks. I don't mind getting rained on, but I hate getting my good guns wet. A canopy would be nice, but it'll be a cold day in Hell before we see that.

Yep....and blows a whistle really loud.

I believe that discussion was a few pages back...

Someone sure was diehard at the Grove this afternoon. I was setting on the edge of the field at the farm and some one was pulling off rounds between 3PM and 5PM. Who was it ?

That'd be me and my son. He was trying out some of the moisin ammo I got him for Christmas.

I hear ya. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one out in the rain. I sat in a head wind for about 2 hours with my Muzzleloader right on the edge of the field. I just got done cleaning it out a little while ago. The powder was 100% dry and I basically wasted 100 grains of powder, but,better to waste it and put fresh in instead of finding out when the Deer is 40 yards away again.

My buddy was about 250 yards up the field from me and I later found out he had his screw in tree stand umbrella. I was hold tight under a 16" felled Pine trunk from the 2010 snow storm.

I'm never shocked someone being that range when it's raining. I'm only about 1 mile away as the crow flies. I hear everything that goes on over there.
