I'm open for the 22nd of March and agree that we should keep it in Delaware.

I'm good for the 22nd. Delaware only it is. I was only presenting options. I just hope I have my gun back.

I know you were only presenting options. Options are good. I had considered maybe going to LRGC, too. They have a great range there. But it's up in PA an hour away. That would definitely defeat the purpose of our LOCAL Delaware meet. LOL.
I'm guessing Ommelanden is our only "local range" option at this point, unless someone has a membership somewhere and they allow guests or groups??

So, we'll mark Saturday, March 22, 2008 for our gathering.
With kids, I'm usually up at the butt-crack of dawn, so I'm going to suggest meeting up at Ommelanden at 9am -- that's when the facility opens. I figure by 9:15 we'll all have paid and they'll have gotten someone down to physically open up the pistol/rifle range.
Thinking 9:30-10:30 we shoot, then hit someplace (suggestions? IHOP?) for a brunch, 10:45-12:00.
Thoughts?

OK, so it sounds like March 22nd is the date then?? And we're definitely doing the shoot/eat option?
Ommelanden sells targets, or you can bring your own targets (BYOT). They do NOT sell ammo, so stop by Wal-Mart nearby and stock up before going to the range. Last I was there, they still provide foam earplugs (free), or you can bring your own muffs. They provide a backdrop to post targets.They usually have a staple gun for hanging your targets. I usually bring tapeor thumbtacks in case there's no staple gun.I guess it's still $5/hour/person.
How long do you think it'll go on? I'm sure it'll depend on how many lanes we can get for ourselves. But then it'll be a good idea to get there at openinbg time, instead of later.
For those who want free targets (just print them yourself), I have some on my website: http://home.comcast.net/~dave_in_delaware/GunStuff.htmJust click on "Target Designs" and save a pdf and print 'til your heart's content. I'll also try to bring extra's along.

Woo hoo, ditching Targetmaster carried the day! I dropped my membership there after I bought my own guns and the staff still kept telling me what I could shoot in them. No thanks. And Ommelanden is cheaper.
9am at Ommelanden on the 22nd? I'll try to make it. Saturday mornings are tough for me, but still better than Friday nights.

For those who don't know, Ommelanden is located at:
1205 River Road (Route 9), New Castle, DE 19720,phone (302) 323-5333. It's just north of Federal School Lane (cross street w/ River Road), across from thesoccer field. Andjust south of the National guard Training Station.
Overall, it's north of Route 72, South of Route 273, East of Route 13, and West of the River. In the middle of all of that.

I'll attempt to make the 22nd also. I have a bunch of 9mm and some .223 to burn up since it's getting old. I have a Bushmaster M4 that I REEEAAAALLLYYY need to sight in. It's been a while since my Army days so I can't really remember how to do it, if anyone is going to be there and willing to help me do so.
I'll also bring along some .45 if there would be anyone willing to let me use one of theirs.

If anyone would be interested in trying/using anything from my humble little arsenal, let me know:
- XD-9 service and subbie models
- Savage Mark II-F .22lr bolt action (scoped)
- Ithaca Model 37 12-gauge shottie
- Mosin Nagant 91/30 (not sure if they'd let us shoot that one).
I'm planning to bring the .22lr rifle (w/ plenty of ammo) and both XD's (one or two WWB Value packs) for sure. I'll only bring the other(s) if there's interest in them (even if it's just to have a look-see). Let me know.
Plus, I'll try to have some AQT targets printed if anyone wants to take that test w/ my .22lr rifle. I'll also bring other targets if anyone "forgets" (or is too cheap to buy some). LOL.

Just so you know, as a Delaware resident, you're still required to have your Delaware CCDW to legally carry here. Ideally, you'll want to have your home states' permit, Utah and Florida... that'll allow you to conceal in 40+ states, if I recall correctly.

I think I can make the 22nd. I have an AR that I haven't had the chance to shoot yet.
In fact, I've never shot a long gun before, so if anyone could give me some basic pointers while we're there that'd be great.
Too bad both my sigs are out for refinishing and won't be back before the 22nd.

Granted, it's new. But clean it! Also since it's new get some CLP (or what ever you use) and lube the bolt. It may be dry as a bone.

I will try to make it as well. Has been a while since I have been to a real range. Been doing a lot of shooting at a farm at stuff which is a lot more fun than hitting paper.
