Action Shooting Range Time
« on: November 19, 2021, 07:20:20 PM »
Aloha!

Just got hooked on action shooting. Shot my first match on Nov. 6. Been doing hours and hours of dry fire, but I need to get some range time. Can someone recommend someplace I can draw from a holster and rapid-fire?
Just received my Dillon press, all I need are some small pistol primers. Any advice?

I have a follow-up question for the outdoor ranges. Does an individual need to bring their own target stands? I know that if you can befriend another person at the HDF open shoot, they may allow you to shoot at their target sheets, provided you supply your own ammo & weapon, and pay the entry fee.
Now, if your charisma is off the charts, you might even be given the opportunity to fire a gun you do not currently own.

www.khsc.info has the dimensions for the rifle and handgun range frames
many of us just use 1x2 wood and staple cardboard or use clamps to attach

at HDF we have stands and some 1x2 and cardboard, but we appreciate if you have cardboard or 1x2s
you can stick up the sticky kine targets or staple/spray glue targets you print on printer paper
you can find free targets on google
no humanoid or other living creature type targets, please

No need go range for this one, just tape to your wall at home and practice throwing the rubbah slippah at it.

tear off the head(s)

One day at rifle side there was this guy (looks military) that brought his target frame and it had a figure of a Taliban fighter or similar on it.

The RSO told him he cannot use that target.  The guy was confused, not sure why and meanwhile some well-meaning shooters were offering him their bulls-eye targets to use.

So the shooters were offering the bulls-eye targets while the RSO is saying he cannot use his target while he is confused because he thinks it's something like his frame dimensions were wrong not knowing it was the target itself.

Pretty hilarious as I watched it unfold. :rofl:

Then the Head RSO came and said "Tear off the head".  And that's what he did and all was well in the world.
Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

Me tinks a robot head could be substituted if it did not look humanoid. Maybe R2D2 or something similar. Gotta look a little different so Disney doesn't sue you.
