Wilbur Wright - Newbie

[illini40]

Hey guns,

So I'm a range newbie and would really like to make my first trip. I am thinking about going to Wilbur Wright later today to plink around with my .22.

I have read through some threads on here and tried to do some research.

What all do I need to bring to Wilbur Wright? Targets, stapler, eye protection, eye protection, shooting bags, etc.?

Also - any advice?

Thanks!

I have been there. Don't forget your guns and ammo. You didn't have that on your list. :-) Make sure you are observant of everyone around you. There range is either hot or cold so you have to know what everyone else is doing for everyones safety.

I live not to far from there and could probably come help you out if you want. That of course is going to depend on my wife but I may be able to persude her.

I'm thinking about heading out there today too. Look for me, I'll probably be on the 50yd range. I'll have a camo 49er's hat on.

Targets, stapler, ear & eye protection, and your toys!

It's a nice range - enjoy!

Watch for idiots, it is a free range. And don't be the idiot lol

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I made it out today around 1:00. Very good first experience - I'll definitely be going back. Now, just need to acquire more toys to take.

Adam - were you there today? I am pretty sure that I saw a camo 49ers hat. Wish that I would have seen your post before I went.

I was there from about 12:15 - 13:30, was set up on the 50yd range (3rd bench in) Sighting in a .22 bolt action suppressed, and shooting a .35rem lever action.
