    Lost our range!

    Yep. I was board member on a "Muzzle loader club" that when we tried to expand to allow other shooting disciplines created a revolt. Ended up about a 3rd of the old codgers that just wanted ML only to shoot at bottles and old appliances didn't like our uppity ways. Luckily we got a majority...

    Lost our range!

    So if the primary reason was no cash flow then maybe you could talk to the range owner and offer to reopen as airgun only and feed fees back to them on a percentage basis. Our local range was about to close us out and we ended up forming an LLC and taking over running and leasing the range...

    Oddities with scope is it me or scope

    Thanks for the insight. Guess I will use it a bit more and decide to keep it or not. I do not have that issue with the vortex razor on my powder burner but I do realize it is a tier or 3 above the element helix.

    Playing in the wind

    I got a chance to head to the range yesterday. Using my .25 impact (new to me) I started at 25 Yards to check zero. During the next hour I moved out until I was at 100yards. The wind was varying from 2-15mph and quartering into my face R-L. at 100 yards I could easily see the pellet...

    Do you shoot using safety glasses?

    Yes. I wear eye protection anytime I am around equipment. Even if I am not working with something that could fly apart and impact my eyes I have been saved from substances squirting into my eye on several occasions. eyesight to valuable to risk when so easily protected.

    Grandson sighting in

    Oh yeah I know it is hot. I just haven't played with it yet. I'm going to drop it down especially since primary distance will be under 50yards for now. When I go to the range for longer shots I will get a tune for that.
