Fairhope FOP Range

[JohnAL]

If you wanna get old you gotta be tough but it does have some benefits. I usually feel pretty good in the mornings after 4 cups of coffee and a couple of Naproxin Sodium pills and an hour for it all to kick in. I wish they would invent a whole body Viagra.

And don't forget some Metamucil before bedtime.

 

[JohnAL]

I don't need that. I eat properly, mostly. Just too much sometimes.

 

[Garpo]

They were putting out sprinklers when I left.

Gary, how many people showed up?

 

[JGH]

About 25. The range will reopen Friday, Sept 6.

Oh no! I think I might cry....

 

[Garpo]

Oh well, more time to spend at the reloading bench.

Except that I already have a bunch of test loads worked up that I need to test fire for pressure signs. I really wanted to be able to do that so I could load up some ladder test rounds before I went to the camp next weekend. Guess I won't be able to.

Right when the range is about to open....my gun gets a recall and has to be sent in. We will all have to find a day to meetup

Definitely! If your gun isn't back by then, you're welcome to shoot anything I bring. I don't have the variety of a lot of the other guys, but I've got a decent assortment.

Would that be an XDS 45? I just sent mine off on Friday.

Anyone gonna be at the range on Sunday afternoon? I might try to go after I get back home. I really need to run those bore lapping bullets through my 308.

I plan on going by the range at some point this weekend, I'm hoping that with the month of down time its not too busy. While 3 gunning, I learned that I have a lot of work to do moving and shooting. What time are you going to be around?

 

[TennJeep1618]

I don't have a clue. Or even if I'll make it. I'm like you, though, I'm hoping it's not crowded. I would feel silly shooting my 308 at 10yds, but I guess I gotta do whatever it takes....

 

[Garpo]

I be there tomorrow. So nice to be retired! :humble:

I got there at 9:00 and was the only one there until about 10:15. Only one other shooter showed up and he was a board member. Being the opening day for the range I surely thought more people would be there. The range looks pretty nice with the new sod, new concrete lanes and new target stands. Also, looks like they are fabricating some sort of small shooting tables. Still more improvements to come.

Sorry about that. :madgrin:
