Range Report 16 Oct NC Test & Tune Day near the I-95 NC/SC line

[SOC308]

My shooting partners and I are trying to grow the sport and we are going to host a Test & Tune day. If you want to get some LR practice in or just throw lead down range come out and join us.

This is geared towards everyone! New shooters to seasoned veterans. We would much rather you attend than sit home and watch tv all day. The weather is looking like it will be nice! Come test out that new load!

<span style="font-weight: bold">FAQ</span><ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]You will have access to 100-1000yds from the same firing line, no moving around to get different ranges.[*]The firing line can fit at least 15 people across (its grass so we can always squeeze in 1 more!)[*]There will always be cadre personnel on the firing line who are acting as RSO and not firing. We will be in direct communication with our safeties.[*]If you wish to bring your targets you are welcome to bring them to set up. We will have ATV's and tractors for hauling targets downrange. We will have some steel and such to shoot, but the more people that come we may need some more targets.[*]I'm sure there will be some friendly wagers happening... Maybe someone can bring that dinty moore beef stew and we can take turns shooting at it @ 1000yds. [*]We will provide a lunch off the grill and drinks throughout the day. If we can get a solid headcount from here we may try to get some pig cooking, if not then we will have burgers and dogs.[*]If you are a newb or are just interested in coming out to shoot with us please send me a PM or email me [email protected] and we can talk.[/list]

The only things we ask

1. Have fun and maybe try to learn something
2. If you are a new shooter and want to pump some rounds through one please let me know and maybe we can work out something.
3. Police up after yourselves!
4. No whining

Camping is welcome and permitted Saturday night. If you plan on camping bring something to throw on the grill Saturday evening and a brew of your choice.

So we can get a good headcount on lunch please post here, email, or PM me. If enough people show up we may get some pig cooking!!!
