Huh? What? Whadya say? LolIf I could deal being next to a braked 300 PRC like last year, you will be able to do it as well. I'll be on your left
I hope a guy shooting a semi without a brass catcher is on your left.If I could deal being next to a braked 300 PRC like last year, you will be able to do it as well. I'll be on your left
Granted..Just pointing out that it is not that bad.Just remember Guys with Brakes can't complain about Guys with Brakes
I’m in a nanny state that doesn’t allow suppressors so I’ll be a part of the loud crowd.Just remember Guys with Brakes can't complain about Guys with Brakes
Good photo to show the kind of angle needed to reach the top of the Mifflin range. I’ve shot at Mifflin about 10 years ago so I’m familiar with the uphill slope to the 1k yard targets. I’m going to practice shooting prone with the tripod legs splayed out and see if that’s a stable position.That would be the cleanest way but I had a bunch of left over Trex decking from building a dock so I just staggered them, braced the back and put a lip on the top.

Looks like a great idea as you don’t have to extend the bipod legs as much - reduce wobble.Just built a couple for me and my friend, @GBMaryland.
As you can see, I’m no carpenter. Lol

Yes, and with leg extensions on a CAL or Elite Iron bipods it’s still wasn’t enough as you know from shooting there. A couple of 2’ pieces of 2”x10” worked in previous year, but I think this is better, particularly if the do a multi-distance target exercise like last year.Looks like a great idea as you don’t have to extend the bipod legs as much - reduce wobble.
The biggest advantage I found was the quick angle adjustment, just slide up or down the ramp to shoot higher or lower on the hill without having to adjust the legs.Looks like a great idea as you don’t have to extend the bipod legs as much - reduce wobble.

Home Depot actually sells some lumber in 2’ and 4’ lengths. Not all (didn’t have 2x8 at the one local to me) and they have a big sawing station in any one I’ve been in. Fella there zipped my 4 and 8 footers into 2’ lengths in a minute.The ramps look to be the good solution. I guess I need to get to Home Depot for a saw and some lumber.
Based on recent events it would probably be better 3 weeks later.Wish this was about 3 weeks earlier
I’m sure lowlight is bummed !No spots left no matter if it is 3 months later...this ship has sailed without you !
I don't think soI’m sure lowlight is bummed !
Paid.Perfect
Payment is open, I will be there as scheduled and will have Sparky with me.

JealousI'm old and its a decent ride to Maryland from there so I come up on Mon and stay over Thurs night and drive home on Friday.
As pointed out, we stay at the Holiday Inn - State College. There is an Outback next door that we sort of take over the bar and eat at. There is a Texas Roadhouse next to the Outback and while I personally think the food is better its also a zoo and impossible for us to get a big table. Olive Garden on the other side of the hotel, Wegman's a mile down the road, and tons else. Good location.
Its a 25-30 minute drive to the range but its kind of a nice drive through the PA mountains (yeah, folks out west laugh at "PA mountains LOL) and its a chance to decompress a bit after the class.
