went to rifle side over the weekend.  was there from 0800-1000
was shooting my bolt action and AR, shooting only 55 grain .223 that day
when I pick up my targets at the end, I see theres a crack in the left side wood frame and theres a bullet head stuck right in the middle
first I think, that's strange it didn't go all the way through and also I'm surprised I hit the frame bc my optics are all sighted in already
after I go home, I take out the bullet head and weigh it.  it weighs 120.8 grains.  so its not from my rifles
it was probably from the guy on the right of me shooting an older rifle with iron sights who seemed to be sighting it in that day
he missed his target by over 10 feet!  buggah owes me a target frame too!!!    >:(

Surprised it didn't go through the frame.  Probably hit the dirt and ricochet.

could be.  from the entry hole looks like it may have taken a tumble before hitting the target

I was shooting on the rifle side one time a while back, some guy set up his steel gong in the adjacent lane at 100yds, using the post holes.  goldarnit, the shrapnel from his ricochets was shredding my target frame, when I got home and looked closely, had all this copper embedded from sideways impact.  he seemed to be best buds with the range staff, so didn't think a complaint would be well received.  I'm just thankful we got a range to shoot at.

I would love to go, but the kids are coming over to bbq at lunchtime.

Too bad I don't have a backyard shooting range.
That would be so awesome to have the kids over, BBQ and shoot guns at the same time.

If any of us had that, we would spend way to much on ammo, even reloading.

Not to sure if the trap range is open but the skeet range is. It’s going to be the last weekend probably for the rest of the year that it will be open being that the club house is going to get some much improved maintenance to it. I will be running it so come down if you can and enjoy!

Went to the bullseye pistol range on Sunday to practice revolver and one hand shooting which I'm improving on. 

There was a couple shooting next to me.  I notice all of the guys shots were going low into the 25 yard berm and lower quarter of his cardboard while the top 3/4s was pristine. Find out he just completed the class.  I give him some tips and show him how to do the ball and dummy drill, and the shoot one dryfire one drills.  Told him to try that for 50 rounds and he should shoot much better.  He didn't and kept digging holes in the berm.

Can lead a horse to water but can't make em drink.
