You can shoot pistol/handgun and .22 rifle.
I see the silhouette side as a give and take. It is ran privately and the $5 goes to the upkeep. A bare bones, do it yourself, help out where you can, type deal. I set up targets if I knock them down.Or, if I see the same people  go out there time after time I will help out. I see setting up targets and sweeping your own brass as a way of showing appreciation for what we have.

I have never shot on the silhouette side but I figured the 5-10 bucks you pay is for someone to go and pick up the targets for you.  Heck I didn't even know the silhouette targets could fall down(I figured they are all thick steel cutouts welded to bars which are pounded into the ground).  Can you shoot shotguns on the silhouette side?





You should never attribute malice to ignorance or stupidity.


Technically the $5 is supposed to be for insurance & target replacement & I guess paying the RSO.  The numbers really never added up for me, but they provide a service so despite my bitching about not allowing carbines that shoot pistol rounds I get it.

Now the shotgun............sure it's allowed so long as it shoots 22lr.

Sheesh! This is the same attitude of many on the USPSA side who feel their match fee is meant to cover the cost of their fellow shooters to set up the stages for them. It isn't!!! :grrr:

Again though, people don't know.
We just need to let them know.
I'm sure most people would gladly help if they knew they were supposed to.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I'm with you there.  It's plainly obvious who does and who does not help.  Some stand around the areas looking like they are helping while some don't even make an attempt to help set up at all.  While we are finishing up the stages, they are already scouting the stages out.

My feeling is you gotta cut the pistol guys some slack.  A lot of them aren't even shooting at the knock downs, much less hitting them.
Last time I was there guy with .50 Desert Eagle wasn't hitting anything but his forehead from the recoil.   :wacko:

If they're not shooting at the knockdowns I don't feel their obligated to reset them.  If they do, then hey, their Momma and their Pops raised them right.
They should help repaint the gongs though

When I went, seemed like the .22 shooters were setting up, and that was good.  If anything just tap the the rimfire shooter next to you and give them " hey, let's go "
I'm with KK in that some of them don't even know their allowed out there.

Seems like rimfire rifle guys knock down the vast majority of the knockdowns when I'm there. ( I'm a rimfire rifle shooter and my kids love resetting targets ) 

P.S. They allow .17 HMR which easily takes out the long distance knockdowns.

As for Brass, your own bucket with a sign sounds classic. " PLEASE PUT MY BRASS HERE " 
Of course, he can have all my rimfire brass he wants.

I agree in that a lot of people don't know.  Once someone asked me if they are supposed to go.  Another time only me, my son, and two other guys were the only ones resetting.  The third time, we only reset what was directly in front of us.  When we walked back someone actually said, "wow, they only reset on their side".  I should have said something, but I bit my tongue.

Today, the ramge announcements included an appeal for everyone to assist. It seemed to work!

I only gone to that side twice but both times I went to help out. It's actually kinda fun seeing what I hit (or tried to hit) up close and setting up more stuff for me to aim for.

Everytime I shoot that side I set up targets. Close up, at the back, it doesn't matter. I've been the last one out there a few times, but I figure if people don't like waiting, they should come out and help.
