outdoors + winter = cold

Why not pick a day when it will be unusually warm outside, like today was?

O rly? I generally hate being cold. I'll take a 100* temps over a below freezing temps any day.

No way. I'd like it to be like 12 degrees and snowing when we shoot.

can I go?
But I'd really prefer to go when it's warm; like above 50, sunny, and not too much wind?

m4a1mustang · 01-29-2012, 12:18 PM

Anyone can go. At this rate it will be 100 degrees out before we decide on anything

VaGntlmn · 01-29-2012, 03:30 PM

agreed, so let's see what we can do to move this along.
1) What's your definition of "Long Range"? 50yds, 100yds? 200yds?
2) Where can we go to do that?? Va, Md, or DC?

crap, I guess I should have added my answers
1) 100yds+, better if 150 or 200. I don't know of anyplace longer than 2.
2) either Va or Md. Transportation issues across state lines? Clark Brother in Warrenton, Va (30 mins from Ffx) is 100yds. Hoyt Hollow in Va has 150yds, but they are a trek.
Anybody else?

m4a1mustang · 01-29-2012, 03:34 PM

200+

Trooper/Kirkster said there were places in MD to go... so I made this thread to motivate them.

VaGntlmn · 01-29-2012, 04:58 PM

Trooper? Kirkster? What do you know?
"I" see 2 places
1) Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore - Looks like a members only thing, and
2) Delmarva Sporting Clays - which is on the other side of the Bay Bridge.
Other places?
And I'm going to have to do some warmups before I go for 200 :-)
