I reckon this is the worst I have to deal with....grin maybe 79s should try it. only an hour away..... Man you are lucky man for sure. 1. You don't live in the rat race of Colorado Springs, 2.have a sweet shooting range... An hour away give me directions again you are lucky man. 79S - Check out Ben Lomond Gun Club. 1500+ members I believe and yet I often have the ranges to myself. The long range goes out to 600. Huntsman - If you need help knocking the paint off those gongs, or reducing the p-dog population, I'm nearby and willing to help.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

CH, come on out.....I have to be honest. I have the pasture puppies purty well cleaned out..... If you are a good shot, you can still shoot at the 400 yd gong without chousing cows away. However, if ya miss high, ya bought a beef...grin more zoom..

We used to have a (pretty big for a) heeler who would have loved that job. He would have been quite proud to keep all them bossies down at the far corner of the pasture as long as you needed him to.
Yeah? is he for hire? Mine is fat and lazy. All he wants to do is hang out with turkeys, and ride the quad....

That pic of the turkeys on the quad reminds me of times past. Had an old Harley with some of the wiring was a little exposed in places. A roadrunner was perched on the back fender pulling the wires out of the tail light. Did a pretty good job of it too. Wasn't pleased as that was my ride at the time.

I remember once at a rifle range in FT Hood, TX we were shooting M16s and the E-5 in the range tower said CEASE FIRE over the intercom, all of us stopped and placed our rifles in the v notch stake, with the exception of another E-5 who kept firing. The order CEASE FIRE was given over the intercom once more and the E-5 fired a couple more rounds and put his rifle in the v notch stake. The E-5 in the range tower started talking to him over the intercom and in a respectful tone said, "I said cease fire" The E-5 started arguing with him and with in a few seconds our CO got on the intercom and yelled "GET YOUR A** OFF THE FIRING LINE NOW!

My younger brother used to sit at the house and send the heeler (his dog) out after the milking herd, about a half mile out and the other side of a big hill. Ten minutes later, in a huge cloud of dust and flopping udders, in comes the whole herd at a dead run. Besides the obvious effects such things have on a herd of Holstein milk cows, the dog never bothered to learn where the gates were. He would just push the herd over and through whatever fence happened to be between the cows and home. Damned heeler pointed pheasant also. Only thing he liked better than chewing on a cow was hunting birds.

The public range at my club is only 200 yards long. The range officers are not exactly spring chickens though, so if you want to go out to set targets at 200 yards you need to wear a supplied ORANGE VEST so that they can see you!
