Does any one know if the Schofield Rod and Gun Club will be sponsoring an open range this Sunday at CR2?  I heard they had one last weekend and I was not sure if they had one laid on for this weekend as well.


Thanks for any advice given, I would hate to drive out there and not be able to shoot.

We had a topic running about them a while back.  My brother joined up with them, but they never contacted him with times of open range or anything.  Needless to say, he was put off.

I tend to agree.  When I first got here they were pretty frequent and now it is really hit or miss.  I called range control and they said it was laid on for Sunday, but they could not determine if it was for the SR-5 (skeet range).  I am also skeptical when it comes to letting members know if they have an opening.  I dis enrolled as member after we were politely kicked off the range after we had occupied it.  It was embarrassing to say the least.  Guess we will find out Sunday or maybe just go and shoot the MMPL tourney.


Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately, the SRGC is very hit and miss. In their defense, it's not all their fault. Remember, they are gun lovers just like us who would love more opportunities to shoot.

With that being said, you should definitely just head out to the MPPL match instead! :-P

Well, got some feedback for the range.  They have it reserved each Sunday of this month.  I am going to give it a shot.  Wish us luck! 


I completely understand that it's not their fault.  It mostly has to do with Range Control and the clubs pool of available RSO/OIC.  They are mischievous at times and our unit has submitted a bunch of negative spot report on them which went up to the garrison commander in the last four month.  They even give us a hard time on the active duty side as well when it comes to scheduling.


Yep, we had an open range a while back.  As soon as we requested a "hot time", RC shut it down due to scheduling conflicts.  The Cheytac guys were there, OGC, and bunch of hard core "gun nuts" (me included) to say the least.  We were politely kicked off the range.  Sigh.....  RC basically forgot to call the club's range coordinator a day prior to cancel.  Go figure.


As a former S3, we always had to fight for ranges on Fort Hood but is was manageable.  The RC folks were very square away at Hood.  Shoot, with a 63,000 acre engagement area, they needed to be.  These guys at Schofield Range Control are hit or miss as well.  Most of the squared away folks work on the weekdays (mornings) and the scrubs work on the weekends so go figure.


I personally really need to practice before going to play with under a timed event.  This is just an old rabbit from my IPSC/IDPA days a long time ago.  It's a perishable skill for me and I hate reinforcing bad habits under a timed event.  Life is not a timed event but, I'll definitely default to my lowest level of training.  I really need to work on the fundamentals again and again and again.  I went to a couple of matches at KHSC and had some fun roc-kin the G-LOCK,  since most of the folks were running "Crutch Guns".  The fellas at the club were kind enough to let us wear our kit during the match.  Nice folks I should say.  However, 


PS:  This is embarrassing but I had no "night sights" at the last MPPL night match.  My DP sights were straight black.  I was using my "mall ninja powers" to shoot.  One of shooters was impressed with the fast trigger on the PGLOCK I was using, but I told him not to be,  because I only hit less the 40% of the targets on that stage.  Now I am making excuses. lol  Looked cool shooting but did not hit crap.  I was basically not accounting for my shots.  Low point of the night.  Sigh again.......I definitely need to slow down and cowboy up!


I'll try and make it to next months match. Good luck tomorrow and kick some A$$ Alex!

seeeeegeeeeee

Well, got burned again with the SRGC.    Alex was right!    Hit and miss as always!    Dang it, they never even showed up to open the Range and CR2 was reserved by the club according to Range Control.    I really wanted to believe but it did not work this time.


At least it was beautiful day and we were not the only ones who were standing by.    Interesting club to say the least.    Hope they get better in the future.
