Not at pistol side either.  I just went to shoot my camp 9 at the rifle range a few weeks ago.

There are a few 25 yard targets at the right-hand side of the rifle range.

Have a Olympic Arms PCR in 9mm.  As a side note,  those mags are so expensive  ($45 and change) and conversion kits to use more common mags are almost non-existent!

Gotta bring my weed wacker and waders to get those though.
Are they pretty accessible ?
Haven't checked in a while.

Why 25?
50 is not so far for a rifle.
Unless you got some kind of trouble like sideways pukas.

For me, it's not sideways pukas I'm worried about, it's the side of the barn....

Only rifle allowed on silhouette side is .22 caliber. Any rifle caliber handgun tho. A nice gentlemen let me sample his custom 30-06 hog pistol once... What a joy. Accurate, muzzle lift but no recoil
If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.

Come on down to one of the HDF Range days and try it out.  We're in Action Bay #1 the last Saturday of every month.  Check the HDF section of the forums for details.
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

One of the reasons I went with a camp 9 was the mags.
Standard sw 59 series 9mm pistol mags. ...Was Cheap and plentiful.
Hpd probably just destroyed thousands of beautiful stainless factory mags that fit my gun.

Just depends on when the last time the mower crew came through.  Usually, they're an adventure to find.

not only are they obscured by grass, they only open the full length of the rifle range on select busy days that are fully staffed by the rso's.

from what i understand, the poles in the ground @ the 25 yard mark are only on the far right side. anyone know how many there are?

But seriously, those 25 yd points might not be open on the weekdays, or occupied on the weekends.
Don't be girly man....shoot at 50 or 100! It's a magnum! :thumbsup:

I think there are three.  No more than four.  And the old fart is right; those positions won't be opened on weekdays, and will likely be monopolized by old farts shooting black powder on the weekends.  Time to make some new friends, and probably end up wanting to start a new collection!  Seriously, though, those guys get there early and camp out, so they leave before lunch to get their naps in.  No, really seriously, they're a lot of fun to talk story with, and will teach you a lot!  Plus, really, they go home by lunchtime.

No less that 20% of the above is actually serious.

Well the RSO's told me there are 6, but couldn't point or find any on the days I went to do some Appleseed training for my sons friends. Trying @50 can be really discouraging when teaching kids with no experience.

If anyone knows where, they should mark them with orange paint.  :thumbsup:

I believe there are 5 or 6 sets of holes at 25 yards. We monopolize the far right side on Sundays only. So if you don't want to hang out with a bunch of old guys then come on Saturday. It is true we leave by around 11am on Sunday. But if the range is not busy they will shut that end of the range down after we leave.

If anyone wants to try out the 25 yd line on a Sunday morning, I will be happy to share my bench. Or if you want to come around 10:30-10:45 on Sunday I can arrange for you to grab one of our benches before we leave. Just let me know ahead of time.
