Yeah, no.

Helps to read the OP. Looks like Hutchinson and Cokato for the most part.

Hahaha, you got me there... Crystal is pretty close to those two areas, it's only 50 to 60 miles away. :shock:

I'm up for this, but the date would be the limiting factor!

Well if you did not make it, you missed a good day out.

Had a lot of fun trying out the diffrent steel tagets, using pistols and long guns, at both close range and long range targets.

Great plates and mounting brackets, will be putting in an order for two very soon!!

Thanks again and good luck with your upcoming event.

Thanks for stopping out, and letting me try a few toys. That 50AE is a riot!!

This is the 8" Gong I bought from Sigfan after a long day at the range. I pelted this with a hundred or so 7.62x54r (spam can surplus) and you can barely see any evidence of it. The pock marks are only about a thousnth of an inch deep. Well worth the $30 I spent on it, and Sigfan is a great guy to deal with.

Dang! That thing took a beating and still looks almost new, I'll definitely be buying from sigfan's company sometime this summer.

Would that gong be the 1/2" AR500?

Really is a pitty you did not get a video of the first two shots with the 50. But, that is a story for you to tell!
