Great Time at Savage River Range

[DES2013]

I had a great time at Savage River Range near Deep Creek Lake, with my son and brother-in-law today. Both are new shooters, so the peace and "quiet" of the location, allowed me to provide them so good training. I think we have a couple of new members.

If you ever get a chance, check this place out.

Sometime Ill get my dad to pull the boat up there and camp out for a weekend of boating, fishing and shooting fun

I'll be up there in the fall to pull the docks out at the cabin and to go rifle hunting for deer. I like the range. I've had a lot of fun there.

Its definetly a "quiet" range so to speak. I see deer prints on the range all the time - If they only knew what goes on there, lol.

Ive seen a flock of turkey one day up on the hill by the power lines - someone made a joke at me - told me to use my varmint rifle to get one.

Its is a nice range - no disgruntled RO's to bark at you ***cough...Cresap***
cough.

We went to the lake for the first time a few weeks ago and had a blast. On the way there is when I stumbled upon the shooting range. No more than 2 or 3 people there the three times I have been there. Fun for everybody!!!

The only time I have ever seen that range packed was on any Black Friday. Standing room only and you gave to wait for a bench on that day.

It was packed at noon today. Don't know if it was an event or not. I just turned around and left since there were no open benches. The place is getting popular I guess!

 

[lotofpez]

it will happen to every good range in due time.

Interesting. The only time I have every seen people at all twelve benches and waiting in line was just before rifle season for Deer.

I was there on Tuesday of this week for about 2 hours. One called pulled out as I drove in...and that's the only vehicle or person I saw the whole time. I got a chance to play with my National Postal Meter M1 Carbine and my decked-out Ruger 10/22. I started out at 50 yds, then went out to the 100 yd targets. I love shooting a .22 at 100 yds...definitely a need to read the wind!

It's a very nice facility, about 12 well done shooting benchs under a large roof. It's also a great way to operate. An honor system -- just sign the envelope, stuff in your $5, drop it into the slot and be safe!
