There are new range rules for Shiocton. Beginning immediately, no more ground shooting and only paper targets allowed are the ones which will get immediate notice. Leaving brass is considered littering and shooters can be cited for it. Beginning in March, the 200 yard berm is being moved back to 100 yds. There is no more shooting of clay pigeons on the rifle range and no more deliberate skipping of rounds off of the ground. All round must impact the berm. That means no putting targets at 25 or 50 yards on the 200 yard range as the berm is not high enough. Once it is moved back to 100 yards, it will be easier to have intermediate targets. There is already a 25 yard berm on the right and there will be a newly constructed/reconstructed with the work beginning in March. This also means that the 200 yd range will be closed from March until it is completed. The goal is less than 60 days. I have a complete copy of the new rules if anyone wants me to E-mail them a copy. Just Email or PM me with your address.

I can go any day. I go there often but the last time was right after deer season and it was closed still for some reason. I love that they have 500yrd targets :) Let me know, I will definitely go and bring many friends and cool guns.

does anyone has a Glock 30 or 36 they could bring and possibly let me put a mag through? I have a box of .45 I'll bring, I know that stuffs not cheap! I'm about 90% sure one of these will be my next weapon, and I would really like to shoot one or both before I decide.

That 'no clay targets' thing is a bummer. I was thinking of dusting off one of my 1100s.

Let's see; it's winter so with water and a little orange food coloring and a well shaped mold ... what can I use as a mold?

If I understand correctly, at the range we are going to be at, the new rules state -- nothing thrown in the air and shot at & nothing shot at on the ground, no ground targets. All rounds must go into the target back stop.

Oh poop! Firecrackers in my backyard would seem to be just as much fun. Hmm. Snowman + m80s ?
