Range Day?
So I've been thinking. I know a couple of people in the community have some pretty schweet firearms. I turned 21 last September and I'm looking to start on the pistol-shotgun-rifle trifecta. Problem is, I don't know anyone immediately who has any of the guns I'm interested in purchasing.
I'd really like to try out a bunch of different guns to get a better sense of variety (I've only fired a few revolvers, a couple glocks, a mossy, garand, and M14). You know, try before you buy. I figure if we get enough people interested, we could turn this into some sort of mini-meet. Indoor or outdoor range, whatever works for people. I don't have guns I could drag along (unless my dad finally let's me put some rounds through the Enfield...), but I'd be more than happy to buy (cheap ) lunch for anyone who'd let me put some rounds through their stuff. (Please do not talk about the sale or trade of firearms and/or ammo in this thread please, I don't want it locked because we break the forum rules. ) Edit: Ok, it looks like there is a good amount of interest in a range day. If those of you who are interested could PM me the following info: Name: Phone #: E-Mail: Location: What days work for you: Range suggestions: Guns you will bring: Ammo calibers for said guns: If you do not feel like disclosing your list of firearms, please at least disclose the caliber. That way for those of us who don't have guns, or want to shoot other guns, can know what ammo to buy ahead of time. For range suggestions, if you could link a website for them, it would be much appreciated. We will probably have a decently large group, and I'd like to let them know ahead of time.

This sounds like it could be fun.
Where do you propose we meet? What day do you want to do it? Would you prefer indoor or outdoor? Outdoor obviously allows more weapon options. I'm sure if you list the weapons you're thinking about purchasing, someone will be able to bring one. |

For a handgun, I'd be looking for a carry weapon. This is the category where I think I'm going to have to be doing the most shopping. I'm drooling over a Kimber carry 1911 right now, but come on, who doesn't. For a shotgun, I'm looking at a Remington 870 and using this kit on it. For a rifle I'm thinking either a 16" or 20" Cav-15. I'm pretty good internet buddies with two guys who work there, and I know they'd cut me a break on cost, and the general opinion is they make some damn nice rifles. http://www.cavalryarms.com/rifles2.html This all, of course, could be up for change depending on getting more experience on more guns. |

The Remington 870's are nice. I used to have an 870 Express Super Mag; cheap, reliable and shoot straight.

I might be up for this.
I have a Sig 229 40cal. SA XD45. Browning Hi-Power 9mm. All my long guns are hunting rifles, but I do have a Rem 870 12ga. I dont know of any outdoor ranges up north, but theres one close to Maple Valley/Renton. I usually prefer a more relaxed setting, like the Evans Creek area. |

Also, i might be able to arrange a little get together on a piece of private property. Friend of the family has a private place to go shooting outdoors, marked off for 100 yards, with a bench for sighting...

That'd be nice. I'm tired of range masters bitching at me. (Or having some jackass 10 booths down having his CETME launch brass at my face at 75mph.)

The gravel pit (probably similar to Evans Creek) option is more relaxed and fun if everyone can hold a proper firing line. |

I'm sure we can go out there... just not sure how MANY of us could go at once. Also, it is in the Shelton area, so it would be quite the drive for you...

Did somebody say rangemasters yelling at people?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXRCqbdiLlo I overheard someone at the gas station say a Canadian went to that range and rented a gun, then plinked himself right in the head. Ah, yup. Here's the link. http://www.bellinghamherald.com/102/story/759890.html I've been up to the gravel pit a couple of times this month out off Mosquito lake road. If you want to shoot at a Neon, come on up. |

The Tacoma sportsmans club would be a good option. They have a shotgun, pistol, and rifle range. All for only 10 bucks. Lot's of shooting positions and the rifle range is 200yd. I would be willing to get in on this.
I have .38 special revolver 9mm smith and wesson M&P subcompact Rock River LAR-8. It's a .308 assault rifle. (My favorite toy) |

Well aren't YOU fancy!
I've only got one ar15. plus the xd9 subcompact I carry, and a ruger 10/22. That ruger is stupid fun to shoot. I just need to order up some high cap mags for it. |
