i know sometimes people get their hopes up and end up disappointed on vacations or long trips. but i found going to places where the main event is the people usually end up being the best vacations. my farm aint 6 flags. its aint the bahamas either. but if you like down to earth fresh air relaxing around open fires, listening to mountain music, shooting, and camping....this is it. and like i said, im so far out in the sticks, we shoot into the night w/o complaints, under lights. go have smores at the campfire, grab your gun, and go shoot a clay game at night. and i figured out how to post some pics...so i hope it will help you see what awaits you if you come. bring rain gear...we shoot in the rain. im not afraid of rain, are you? :>

someone asked me what the range rules were....here ya go. ----------------------------- Range Rules:
Rangemasters decisions are final. Drug or alcohol use prohibited on the premise. Period. The management has the right to deny shooting privileges if detected. Eye and ear protection required when shooting or in the shooting area. Guns & ammo are subject to inspection. Shoulder stocks are required. Guns entering the clubhouse must be opened and confirmed empty before racking. Shouldering, dry firing, and loading of firearms in the clubhouse is prohibited. A game is 25 targets. Shoot only 1 shot at 1 target. Extra targets not allowed, unless one is thrown broken. Carry only one gauge of ammo when shooting. Load only when you are on a firing station. Otherwise, keep your firearm unloaded with the action open. Load no more than 2 rounds at a time. Load only 1 round on station 8 high house and 1 round for ATA trap. Don’t swing past the center stake on station 8. Everyone shoots station 8 high, then everyone shoots station 8 low. If your gun gives an odd report, cease fire, unload your gun, and check the bore for an obstruction. Stop all shooting when a cease-fire is called. Open all actions and unload. Be alert for people in the shooting area or downrange. Don’t shoot at wildlife or livestock. Dogs must be leashed and policed. Don’t shoot if an orange cone, flag, or hat appears on the trap bunker. Don’t walk past the far edge of the houses unless loading the bunker. Don’t shoot the houses. If you do, confess and paint it. No shot larger than #6 allowed on this range. Children must be kept within arms reach at all times. Infants not allowed on the range. Period. Children who can not safely hold, mount, or swing a firearm properly, may not shoot. To reduce the risk of lead ingestion, no eating or smoking while shooting. It is advised to thoroughly wash hands and face after shooting. You may keep whatever hulls you came with. All others are club property and must remain. Did i say the rangemasters decisions are final? Good. Just checking.
