Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Thanks Eric. I usually shoot at my friends house but I've shot at Williams and the state owned range in Lansing. I thinks its rose lake, I really want to go to young's and try shooting out to 1000 yards. And I hear ya on the cold part I can't wait til it warms up. How about you? Where do you shoot at?

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Right now out in my backyard. I can get out to 210 here. Usually go up north to get out long range at the power lines but I haven't picked up a good enough of a optic to have fun.

800 is a nice range to have. I think logs and dirt will work just fine depending on what is on the other side.

I'd like to shoot at Young's 1k. I have no idea what Reade/ASC means???

 

[Hasgun Willtravel]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

I get up by Midland alot for work, nice area.

1400 is a hell of a range! Cant get better than earth as a backstop, as long as its just dirt, and not gravel.

 

[EricF517]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Might even get some guys to come and help build the backstop.

Brad Arnett, Myself and Jburt went last weekend for the day.

Brad Bryon was the only other person with us. We had about 5 ppl stop in and check out the range that day while we were there.

I'm ready for some warmer weather...


I'm currently off work till April since I have a fractured sacrum (lower pelvis.) Lemme know if anyone is heading to Young's and I'll load some ammo.

 

[CABG]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Hey guys, I should be moving to Michigan in April for school. Is anyone near Southfield? I'll be working at Providence hospital and am looking for a decent range and apartment near there.

 

[SSG3K]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Stayaway from Southfield kinda not so good. Maybee ry to find something in Berkley (My first house there). What kinda range?

Rich

 

[CABG]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

I'll check out Berkley. A friend from MI recommended Farmington or Royal Oak.

As for a range, something long range (800-1000 yds) is perferred. I'm interested in getting into IDPA also.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Hey guys,

Been here for a bit now, but never noticed a spot for us Michiganders here. Guess I spend to much time drooling in the FS section.

Anyway I'll be coming home soon and want to get into the LR shooting game. I saw there were some comps coming up. I want to get into them but don't really know what that entails. Any help would be great.

Also looking to so some shooting just about anytime. If you guys are heading to a range and don't mind a tag along I'd be grateful. Never really got to stretch out beyond 600 before. Got a new GAP 300wsm I need to put through some paces.

Graham and I will be at South Kent on Sunday if anyone is interested.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Young's Long Shot has a new member

They also have a new web site up for those interested.

http://www.youngslongshot.com/

I shot there out to 1000 for the first time today… I was so “in the zone” getting things ready to go I forgot my ear plugs, camera and sun screen. So no pics, I did make an extra stop for ear plugs but didn’t think of the sun screen until a few hours after I got home and noticed, hmmm, my arms and neck are red and on fire! Oh well. To say I had fun is an understatement!

Two things I learned. Wind is a cruel teacher and I can see the value a spotter provides, turkey necking is tuff. Oh Honey?!? Ya right…

 

[SuperSeal110]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Glad to see they finally updated their website.

Niles, hit me up next time you head to Young's. I'm a member as well, but haven't been down in a few months.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Awesome! Thanks for the info on the new site. I'm planning on joining Young's as soon as this vacation comes around. Hopefully I can get enough time away from home and work to make it worth it. Thanks Again..

Ryan,

I put the build on hold for now. I have some medical bills I need to pay off. I fractured my lower pelvis and two tail bones in mid February.

I just need a barrel and smith work to get it running. You been shooting down at Young's much?

What you shooting these days?

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Going to be home on leave in the Jackson and Adrian Area in August. Is there anywhere to shoot at any type of distance in those areas?

Not yet. Definitely on the agenda for this spring. Also looking to try Rayners and Youngs this spring ....

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

I'm curious about two things, if you don't mind:
1) Does anyone shoot at the south kent sportsmans club (sksc.org)?

2) Does anyone shoot just out on public land? I was reading the manistee national forest web page—specifically checking to see if recreational shooting was allowed—and it is, outside of hunting season and such. I'm still hesitant to just go out there (or elsewhere) and shoot though.

2) Yes. But the use of public land can surface some issues when it is used for long-range shooting. Remember, you are responsible for the path your bullet takes and where it ends up.

I'm after the precedent, for lack of a better term. You addressed that; thanks!

Blue Rock, OH, It's E of Columbus. Check out Rayners.

 

[EricF517]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

I do anything over 200 up north in the oscoda area in a clear cut. Might have to find a new one since it is getting a little over grown. Usually shoot on the power lines as well after driving up and down them to check for ORV trails.

Would like to find a long range mentor here in MI is anyone is interested.

I just talked to a gunsmith/shop owner in Manistee about this, apparently there is parts of forest you can and can't shoot on. I can't remember what exactly the stipulations were but I will find out. However, I do know of some excellent places to shoot in the Manistee Nat. Forest. Long power lines where you would be shooting into a hill. You just have to keep in mind that there are many dirt roads and trails throughout.

Here is some good information.

[biglakesrule]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Reading on the parks (or forest or whatever they call it) web page also hits on the fact that there are areas you can and can't either shoot or hunt, etc. I didn't pay attention to a specific location at the time. Thanks much for the info/link!

 

[EricF517]

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

if your talking about state lands most are posted with signs that's okay if a certain area is open to shooting or closed during a certain section of the calendar year. I have yet to see any such times up the national forest up north

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

This year you can stay in Michigan. We are opening a 1000 yard range in Michigan. Check out:

www.MarksmanshipTrainingCenter.com

for updates. Hope to see you soon.

Re: MI Upcoming Shoots

Where will that new range be located? Please tell me the Central Michigan area!
