2014 DFWMustangs.net Range Day

[Mike K]

Thoughts on the 23rd of July? It would give people plenty of time to get ready.

+1 - I'm in for this weekend or any weekend after.

[CJ]

We can make just about any date work except for the last weekend of every month. Once we have dates confirmed, I'll create a new thread with all details listed out.


Just a few things:

Cost - $40 per person. Some may say this is expensive but I assure you, this is cheap for a day of shooting with everything that's available.

Pop up tents are welcome & encouraged as there's not shade in all parts of the range.

Grills for food are welcome as well, we just need to clean up any trash.

Full auto firearms are allowed.

.300 Win Mag - .50Cal long guns are only allowed on the 1000 - 2500 yard range. If someone has a M2 belt fed, I'd need to find out where we could shoot it.

Pistols and AR's will need to stay in the tactical bay. Basically no trying to shoot 600 yards with your 1x red dot.

There are 10 stages that are always setup for precision shooting with steel targets at distances from 300 - 1000 yards. These stages are reserved for rifles with 1MOA accuracy or better.

This is a working ranch and there is a lot of wild life out there, no shooting of animals is allowed, including but not limited to deer, cows, turkeys, horses, game birds, etc.

Maintaining firearm safety at all times is of most importance.

The second most important rule: the speed limit on the property is 15 MPH. The owners are VERY serious about this, anyone caught breaking this speed will be asked to leave, no exceptions.


You guys are in for a treat and we're going to have a lot of fun.




Let's start talking dates...

can low vehicles get onto the property without any issues?

[motoman]

can low vehicles get onto the property without any issues?

So long as there's not a major lowering kit on the vehicle, it shouldn't be a problem. Paved road to the front gate with crushed granite or something of the sort all the way back to where we will shoot. A couple of cattle guards to cross on the way to where we'll shoot. There was a guy in a fancy lowered Mercedes a couple weeks back that didn't have an issue.

From the front gate, it's about a 15 minute drive to where we'll shoot.

[KBScobravert]

I'm down like a fat kid on a cupcake. I should be home and free on the 23rd too.

Truck, two folding tables, large popup awning, cooler and can bring anyone from the keller/haslet area (up to 2/3 people).

I've got a couple ARs I would like to get dialed in and try to walk out to see what they do.

how many other people will be around us (estimate)? Or will we have the area to ourselves?

If anyone wants to, I can carry 3 in my SHO and can meet in Cresson, or Aledo. Happy to assist, just let me know.

[helosailor]

I'll have room for several in the Tahoe.

[David]

I can do the 23rd.

I'm in for the 23rd with a +1

[Chili]

In for the 23rd!

[Musbrad2]

In with a possible +1.

[GhostTX]

Possible here, too. Or weekend prior.

[bird_dog0347]

I should be in, this is the same range where we shoot USPSA matches and it's a great place though I've only ever used the tactical bays.
