Member Link Up Hudson valley New York or surrounding area

[BigRso]

Hello everyone,

I live in Orange County N.Y. And looking to see if we have any other Hide members in the area. Possibly get together and do some shooting, currently I dont have access to any location past 100 yards which is killing me. If anything would appreciate info on some long range locations.

A little about me I have currently finished my first build in 308 win. Have been reloading for a year now love shooting and am extremely interested in learning and getting better. I shoot every Friday morning only out to 100 yards hopefully we have a few people on here in the area, and we can set something up.

Be safe and well
Mike

I'm not too far away in Westchester County. Unfortunately I can't help you with land access, but would love to find some as well. I shoot most weekends at a local 200yd range. Welcome to the Hide!

What's up Gregg,

I actually grew up in Westchester, Yonkers. Thanks for the welcome great forum tons of info.

I am going to research PA it's not to far from us and they are a Firearm friendly state, I will keep you posted.

I found one in LI If I remember correctly every other weekend or something they open it out to a 1000 beautiful, but I wouldn't dare go into the boroughs even with a bolt action.

Unfortunately I work Sunday - Thursday but that sounds like a good time. Do they do this several times a year,
And what's the best way to find out when these matches are taking place. With more notice would take a vac. Day to attend in the future. Also besides the Matches is the range ever opened to the public. I live 15 mins from that base.

Thanks for the info Magua, it is greatly appreciated
Mike

Are you talking about Calverton way out in LI? I think they have a 600yd range. I'll have to ask a friend. Going out to Brookhaven on Saturday (also in LI) and I think they go out to 200 or 300 yds. My gf lives up in Dobbs Ferry so I'm up in Westchester quite a bit. I live in Queens and have a few firearms so don't worry about coming down here. Just don't get pulled over.

There are no 600 yard Ranges on LI...Calverton and Brookhaven are both 200 yard max.

 

[knockemdown]

Used to be Calverton would stretch to 300, for the last hour, if everyone on the line agreed?
That place was a dump last time I shot there (>5yrs ago) But you can shoot prone in a pile of sand, rocks & old spent brass

Brookhaven is a nice, covered line, with solid benches. 200 max., no prone shooting...

 

[MAGUA]

Is that skanky bitch with the Bullhorn still there at Calverton ?

 

[knockemdown]

Couldn't tell ya, sir.
Just remember the overwhelming desire to never return after that one trip...
