[ZbornacSVT]

This should be a fun location! Keep in mind that this is the Saturday after the next 1500, so it is a good chance to try out any new toys you might acquire!

 

[pierce195]

Like stated before, this open to all guns and should be a good time. I will have the MP5 with me if anyone wants to brings their own 9mm ammo and shot it.

Indygo members will be the only people at the range. If anyone has a request as far a something they would like set up, just let me know.

[ZbornacSVT]

I am in. What is the distance?

Sounds like we will be able to back up to 100yds, but I'll let pierce195 confirm.

Thanks for joining!

 

[pierce195]

We can pull back to about 100 yards if someone wants.

 

[cornfused]

Great! I'm going to try to attend (if they let me off work).
And I will bring a fellow INGOer.

I believe it is, but I will let pierce195 confirm that as well.

The range is west of New Castle just south of State Road 38. There is a sign for the FOP at the intersection of SR 38 and South CR 325 W.

Its rated for freaking laser beamz.

I took my bobcat steel targets out for a run yesterday.

Rattlecanned em, set em up. full size IPSC, half size IPSC, quarter size IPSC and those kickass windchimes.

I shot 550 rounds of 22lr <should have brought more than one box...> 200 rounds of 5.56 xm193, and 200 9mm at them... not even a hint of a divot or mark or anything. they basically look new. Earlier I shot a 22-250 at my 25% ipsc and no damage whatsoever. 2 seconds with a spray can, voila. <its odd how fast they dry, they dry in like seconds. which seemed odd to me but I dont paint a lot of stuff.>

I.. am a huge fan. I think this just may be the best gun related purchase I have ever made. Being able to see the impact points even shooting at a small dot on the steel, if you miss the dot you can see, adjust, let the target "talk" to you like they teach at Appleseed <little plug...> and improve your shooting on the fly.

I would go so far as to say, the last few gun related bling items for my AR were 100% useless compared to these steel targets.

The full size ones especially are great, I took and taped ritz crackers all over the giant ipsc one, two for eyes, little O shaped "OMG!" mouth, and a giant "center mass" circle, and blew them up with the 22lr pistol.

I had more fun...than I can remember having in a LONG time.

Before you buy a $30 meal at CheapSteakRoadhouse, buy a $30 steel target.

Before you hire a young south american boy off of craigslist to clean your gutters, seriously, clean em yourself and buy a steel target.

Just try it. Its that much fun.

And Bobcat is localish, so I saved on hunormous shipping costs. Which is .. frankly awesome.

I am a fan.

Just wish I had some place to use them

Gonna buy at least one soon. But none of the public ranges will let you shoot anythng but paper. Just gotta join a local club that allows steel. And BTW the most fun is that little bitty square target that you can flip over the 2x4 if you hit it just right! Can't wait to put a few 8mm Mausers down range at all of them!
