    September Appleseed shoots! 7 of them!

    I know the AQT targets are set for 25 meters. The local rifle range is set for 50 and 100 yards. How well do the targets work at those ranges? I am interested in getting some for my own personal practice.

    Have you had an ND

    No. I always remove the bolt, for a bolt action, or open the bolt on the lever action guns before I pick them up. When I close the lever actions, I always cycle it 3 times. Before I put the bolt back in, I look down the barrel from the butt end to make sure I can see through it. If the bolt...

    Do you get angry when the shooter next to you has a bigger BOOM than you?

    Are you sure you are all gun owners? Guns go BOOM so yes they are going to be loud. Yes, I am that guy at the range with the "uber-magnum", as others put it, who is also putting bullet hole in bullet hole. It is a gun range, get used to the noise. I shoot for precision, and other big guns...

    Door baricades

    Thanks regolith and siskiyou, that is exactly what I am looking for. It is simple to put up, and simple to take down. It may not be as secure is something that is bolted to the floor or door frame, but something bolted is not an option for me.

I am looking for something that can be easily put up and taken down, and either good enough to drastically slow down someone trying to get in or would make so...

    Marlin 336, 1911, and an 870. good all-around combo?

    A gun that is in your hand is worth more than the high capacity super long range rifle in the display case at the gun store.

    Biggest Newbie Mistake at Range?

    I guess we are all noobs at the range I go to. We are not allowed to carry pistols in a holster, or have a holster with us. Needless to say, we also can not draw from a holster to shoot. In fact I don't know of a single range around me that lets you draw and shoot from a holster, unless it is...

    Own any guns that have "a history"?

    I have a Swiss K31 with the soldier's tag in the butt plate, but never made contact. I have my grandfather's Steven's 311 double barrel 12gauge and his Remington Targetmaster 22, both probably purchased from Sears back in the '50s or '60s. I don't know their past history other than he used...
