Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Glad to meet you. Had fun myself. Turned into a nice day. How long did it take you to get home? Any traffic?
I can't believe Matt didn't post up about hitting the 8" steel at 400 yards ith his .22 yet LOL

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Believe me, I wanted to but I had to go work on a bar I'm building and didn't get home till about midnight. By that time all I wanted to do was eat and sleep. Had a great time though. I had always wondered about shooting that far with a .22, but wasn't too soure how realistic it was. Next time I'm going for the smaller steels! Lol

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Hey Rob, I didn't hit any traffic. I headed back up rt 9. I didn't go strait home, but I would have made great time if I did. Thanks again for the opportunity. Hopefully next time I'll have that new bolt gun I just won off of GB

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
I wont post the add in case I ridiculously over paid (which I'm fairly confident I didn't for NIB) but it's a Rem 5R. You'll just have to see it to believe it, so you'll just have to invite me to the range again

Congradulations on the new rifle! Looking forward to checking it out. What are you thinking about for glass?

I couldn't find too much info on Ledyard Sportsman's Club. I'm assuming it's a private club, anybody know if they are accepting new members?

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Saw this thread was gettin down there so I thought I'd revive it and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe happy New Year. Things have been pretty hectic lately so I haven't been around much, but I've been getting out whenever I can. Looking forward to hooking up with you guys soon in 2011!

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Best range in the state, in my opinion. Too bad it's so far away from me. It's hard to get there as often as I'd like to. Where in Ct are you?

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
I live in Prospect now (between Naugatuck and Wtby) but until a few years ago, I lived in Stratford almost all my life. Ledyard's not too bad of a ride if theres no traffic on I-95.
We could probably meet up somewhere around Milford and ride up together.
Where do you normally shoot?

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Just out at Ledyard yesterday. Nice day for the most part with less wind and 38 degrees. Doesn't look like the weather is going to get any better. LOL Whenever you guys want to come up let me know and we will try to get a date set up.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Yesterday wasn't too bad. I took a half day so I could finish my Christmas shopping. Then I decided to take the bike out, probably for the last time this year.I guess I'll finish my shopping today.LOL
I could get out pretty much any time after the first of the year. Let me know what works for you and we'll plan a day.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
I'm not familiar with that range, but Winsted is a haul from Bridgeport, isn't it? What do they have for distance there?
When I can't get up to Ledyard with Rob, I usually shoot at High Rock in Naugatuck. It's close by, but only 100 yds.
Looks like it might be getting up into the 40's by the first of the year. If it stays there, it'll make for a great day of shooting. Looking forward to starting the new year off with a bang!

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Another CT guy here, checking in from the Vernon area. I shot with Rob01 a long time ago at a range in Lyme, with a new shooter from NY.
Anyways, just got a LR308 and would love to stretch its legs past 100.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Hello all,
I just found/joined the site this week, so I'm checking in. I'm a long time member of Ledyard Sportsman Club. I do a lot of coyote hunting, and some of the farms I hunt offer shots over 400. This place is good to go. A lot of good reading.
Let me know when you guys get together again. I'm at the rifle range pretty often now. I guess I just missed Rob01 the other day. Somebody there told me about this site, so I decided to check it out. I'm hooked, Ledgewood.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Just found this thread and was psyched to see at Connecticut group. I'm trying to find a club/range to get out past 200 yds. Looking at NWCSA, heard they are expanding out almost to 400? Live in Bethany and would love to get a foot in the door up there, or even closer to home, like High Rock.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
I might be in depending on the day, I plan on taking the last week of the month off if you were thinking that soon. I may have another buddy( former Army Sniper) who may be interested also.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
I'd be up for that just let me know. Met Rob01 yesterday, he's a nice knowledgeable guy who gave me some good tips. Thanks for that Rob, when I
start up coyote hunting again on the farms next month i'll see if we can get some range time up there.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Need some help from you Connecticut shooters. A friend and I are looking to put on a tactical rimfire match this spring. The big problem is neither of us belong to a club at this time and need a site to host the match. We both shoot at Blue Trails, but they still have too many restrictions. We hope to resolve the membership thing but want to reach out and see if anyone has any thoughts or ideas. The match we have planned would be a blast and hope to pick up a couple sponsors and have a couple prizes. Let me know what you think.

Re: Anyone from Connecticut?
Russ, I'm a member at Ledyard, and yes the range is still there. The last I heard, they hit their membership cap (around 550 members I think), but will still take applications and put you on the wait list. If I can dig it up, I'll PM you the contact info for applications. Other than that we can meet up one weekend and it should be posted on the board in the clubhouse.
