The range fee is $10, very reasonable for a fun-filled day. My major costs were gas and ammo.

Shooting steel is both humbling and a lot of fun.

See everyone there.

There were a total of around twenty attendees last time. Some had to leave early, others arrived late. I think we ended the day with around sixteen.

I try to allow for about half a gallon of water per hour. Don't forget something to munch on. Hanging out in the sun is hungry work.

Bring her along, she is welcome to join the fun.

I bet she would have a great time. Great skills practice as well.

Exactly. This is a family sport. I'd bring family too if any of them lived in the area. :|

Does anyone have a time reference for how long it takes to get there from the TC area?


I know I have driven past Hutch but can not remember how long to get there....

From the North Metro, it took me right around an hour and twenty minutes. I drive the speed limit.

I know she wouldn't shoot in front of everybody. She is slowly warming up to shooting with more than just me. She sure can shoot though.

There's likely to be a few other "Girls" there and other than hammAR they'll be female.

ChinaKay will be there, though she will probably be limping.

She will be limping only after and because she is going to kick you butt............
you should know better that to flirt with a man on the internet..................
I know that you think that I'm cute, and you suffer from envy,
but please lay off as this is bordering on harassment and China hasn't made the last payment on your insurance yet.......... :shock:

Sounds like something I might like to try.
?s
Is there any ammo requirements is WWB fmj ok to use?

Is something that one would use for EDC be acceptable for use firearm and holster?

Mag holders and extra mags required or needed?

Do you need to preregister or can you just show up I wont know if I can make it until tomorrow night sometime.

WWB FMJ is fine.

I don't know what EDC is, but if you have a gun and a holster you should be alright.

Mag holders and extra mags required or needed?

Mag holders and extra mags definitely helpful.

Do you need to preregister or can you just show up I wont know if I can make it until tomorrow night sometime.

Just show up with $10 in hand.
