I'm a maybe on the tactical/hunting. Suppose to be gone turkey hunting. Sounds fun

It's on, there will be a tactical/hunting class. I'll post details later in the week.

I'm not having surgery on my arm so I am in

I'm down

Details and location:

I recently discovered an old but very good Bench Rest Shooting Range called Small Groups Rifle Range. It was formerly named Outback Sportsman's Club, located just out of Commerce, TX. It is about an hour Northeast of Dallas. It has been cleaned up and remodeled, it's perfect for a rifle match. The range has 100, 200, and 300 yard target boards and 20 covered concrete benches. Bring your own shooting stool.

Directions to the range and other information is available at the website which is www.smallgroupsriflerange.com.

The range is about 7 miles east of Commerce on Hwy 11. The address is: CR4737, Cumby, TX 75433

For Quick and Easy Reference, here is a Google Link: https://goo.gl/maps/HnNqJKASgdP2

What's a rail gun Judd?

It's basically a gun that rides on rails...no stock and is like a taking an action and attaching it to a machine that manages recoil. It's a benchrest class, they are interesting...for pictures google benchrest rail guns.

FYI - I do not own one

Thank appreciate it

I am still down. Kyle we doing this? Need to check zero if we are going to

Yep I'm good to go!!

My rifle has a cold temp zero so it is off. I need to fix that.

Good chance I'll give it a try! P_102

Well get it fixed there josh!!

Good to hear Chris.

have fun

Judd, is the tactical class shooting 4" clay birds at 300 yards?

we gonna do this or what???

rail guns are cheating

Buzz, looks like we are. I am looking forward to it

Kyle when we going to the range? Less than two weeks

Whatever the 120mm are, I think that's the large full size clay but don't have one too measure.

You'll have plenty of time to zero as long as you can hit the paper.

I'm down for the hunting/tactical course. Where do I sign up?

So Kyle, Chris, BP and I am for sure and Buzz will check the weather and make a decision. Who did I miss?

4.7"

I'd go with y'all, but there's another match that day I'm committed to. But at that one we have to hold the rifle.

Just means you have to work harder to achieve the same goal.

I have to work that day, I will spare y'all the loss and blessings of my presence

when is it?

If it's a 4.7" clay at 300 yards, that's a big target!
