Hap Baker Firearms Facility Update:

[ras_oscar]

So, what happens to all the range brass that ends up in the container in the pistol range"? Any chance of sharing the love?

They sell it to buy spotting scopes for the range and as maintenance money for the facilities.

Glad it's being put to good use.

Any truth to the rumor that the range is being converted to a biathlon terrorist training facility?

FIFY

If you get before it gets to the barrel, they don't care.

Does anyone know if they're going to be open this weekend?

I tried this Sunday (3/8) and the highway gate was open but the range gate was closed. I think someone was messing with me. Oh well.

Does the range have any plans to improve the drainage on the field? It seems like it's always wet and muddy, even days after it rains. I know it's a range - and it will never look like a golf course. But it always seemed to me like they could have graded the field better.

I'm not worried about a little mud on my boots, just glad to have a place to shoot (that I can bring all my toys) that isnt more than an hour from me, and doesnt cost me an arm and a leg to go to.

Pump that field of water! I'll still go lol

Has anyone been there this past weekend? I have trigger fever so bad that I'm thinking of taking off work Friday just to avoid the anticipated weekend crowds.

 

[1874sharpsshooter]

just a reminder guys, Hap Baker is pretty muddy so bring proper footwear.

 

[730dc]

what kind of work was done to the rifle and pistol range? just wondering what was done while it has been closed.

With all of the snow and now rain, how is the road going to the range, that is compared to how bumpy it normally is?

Could it even get any worse?

I plan on heading out Sat morning, I will get there early in case its crowded after not being open and the weather being awful for the past month.

 

[1874sharpsshooter]

just a reminder, the gates don't open until 9.30 AM

If I was you I'd set up a tent and camp out in front of the gate Friday night.
