not too much wind today in niu valley
got to the range yesterday at 1:30 pm and there were lots of empty benches on the rifle side
by 2:30 it was at least half empty

Packed? Wind?

i was at the silhouette side.  gentle breeze and sunny.  i didn't walk over to the rifle or pistol side though so i don't know how crowded it was.

Just got home.  Not that crowded on the rifle side.  When I left about 1100 had empty tables and no waiting list.  Weather was nice, not too much wind.

it was a 4-5 MOA wind around lunch. Cost me a great deal of pts. Should've listened and accepted as honest feedback. Oh well. SLight drizzle but mostly hot and dry

Ended up overcast then at 330 it poured.  All in all good day.  Had to sight in a scope with no clue to where the rounds were going. because the berm was too wet.  Luckily i got in in 13 rounds!

11:00 to 3:00 was fun. The rain at 1:00 to 1:30 cleared the people out of the silouette side. :)

Was a great day at Puuloa range, except for a good crosswind.  Had to adjust 33 inches to the  right on the 600 yard line.  Had 8 of us shooting a CMP rifle match today.

I was on the pistol side from 1100-1300
About 3/4 full when I got there, 1/2 full when I left
Some rain, but great day
Shot my friends .44 mag, colt anaconda
Whoa, man. My first time shooting a 44 mag.
That was really impressive. Now I want one!
Made my 357 feel like an airgun.

Man it rained hard today. Bunch of guys got yelled at as they hurried to get their rifles out of the rain and tried to put it on the back benches lol. Luckily for me my guns are waterproof. Only me and a few other guys kept shooting

Sorry to hijack this report.

To Zippz:

What kind of carts are those. I'm looking for something in which to haul my range gear around.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
