Dang Moose - that's sad. Did you get a copy of the map to the American Shooting Center or what? It was posted in the Glocktoberfest splash.

Maybe we can hook up for the Springfield Break - if we don't decide to go down there sooner. ;-)

A superior type time was had by all.

I was wondering if the cluster of folks in the short distance rifle range were y'all. The firearms in the photos look familiar. We brought my AR-10T with the highpower NightForce scope, the Desert Eagle .50 and a pair of custom .45s (Kimber and Colt) but with that illogical $3/gun, (and having to clean them aftwerwards) I wasn't gung ho about bringing out the compensated 10mm or the highly tuned GoldCup 10mm.

The .50 was fun! The range geek complained that the muzzle blast was damaging the bench. (I was trying out various handloads and mistakenly started with the beefed up loads)

The facilities are ~huge~! I used to regularly shoot in Dallas at the BulletTrap and my LD work at Gibson's where my target @ 200 only needs to be a postage stamp when I bring out the handmade .300 Win Mags (another NightForce scope on the bull barreled bolt action) I would like to know what distance the longest range was - it looked like quite a hike to change paper.

What decent range around Austin is there? I would go back to Houston if another "Ton of Fun with a Gun" were held - I would like to try my hand at the distance ranges, and my wife is interested in doing some "riot skeet" (shooting clays with an "assault" shotgun)

When is Springfield Break, and what good junk should I bring? The personal arsenal is quite varied and consists of over 50 pieces. (and very well protected, too)
