And from the other side of the Rockies...:)

I live in Enumclaw, Washington; closest bigger landmark cities are Auburn (King County) and Bonney Lake (Pierce County).

I tend to concentrate on NRA Conventional Pistol (Bullseye) and combat shooting with handguns. I am also very much into precision rifle.

Look me up or PM me if you want; there's always room at the range to burn gunpowder! :D
 
Naperville, IL

im out here in Naperville, IL. Im awalys looking for people to come to the range and im looking for a new range for now its pistola only at J.R. shooting sports and rim
 
well now, for the Boise area, I tend to go to the Blacks Creek public area on non-busy days and further out Pleasnt Valley into the guard ranges on the weekends.

We usually spend most all day and bring a cooler full of snacks and softdrinks sometimes burgers and dogs on a portable BBQ, to sit, BS and listen to the yotes for an hour or two after dark.

I/we (Mrs. ID) love shooting milk jugs 100-500 yards w/ centerfire rifles, my AK, centerfire hand guns 50 - 100 yards and .22 rifles and handguns at pop cans and whistle pigs when they are in season. We are very informal and welcome any THR member(s) to come join us.

Well-minded kids are welcome too, ours usually hangs out in the back of the truck with her muffs on and plays with her dolls while we shoot if it isnt too hot.
 
Hopewell Junction, NY

I am always looking for someone to go to the range with. Fairly new to my area and the sport. If anyone is in my area and knows of good places to shoot and wants to show a newby the ropes let me know.

Cheers,

SigNY

I went to the range a few times with Frank (Stiletto). This thread is a great idea.

I'm in Raleigh/Cary area. I usually hit up the FETC, if anyone wants to join me. I prefer to go in the company of others, as it wards off the "OMG THERE'S A GIRL AT THE RANGE LETS GO TALK TO HER, POSSIBLY CONDESCENDINGLY" effect.
 
Llano County Texas area

You get that too, huh?

Most of the guys at our 'range' know me now, but I got that a bit too. "You know what you're doing honey?" Uh huh. Now back off a bit bud.

I'm sure my husband would like to find other folks in our area that are up for get-togethers as well.

Texans, don't forget about the Appleseed Rifle Clinic this year in Mingus, TX.

October 27th & 28th 2007.

My girlfriend and I went last year and it was definitely worth the $70 spent towards marksmanship training.

RWVA.org for more info.
 
Memphis, TN

Variety of pistols / revolvers (.22, .380, 9mm, .357, 10mm, .44, .45 ACP)
I tend to shoot at Rangemaster, though I've got nothing against RangeUSA.
 
Asheville, NC

Not really looking for a range buddy but I just got done reading "RIP to a THR member" for the first time and I would like to extend a hand to anyone that may need some company (if only at the range even). I've been struggling with severe depression for 12 years now (I'm 26) and sometimes all you need is to talk with someone or hang out for a minute.
Great idea Silverlance, if anyone is in WNC and likes to shoot any gun, anywhere, I'm game. I have handguns from 22mag to 410 gauge, shotguns from 410 to 12 ga, a new AR, and 22LR rifles.

R.I.P. Stiletto Null, you will be forever missed.
I've known good men, strong and brave men who just decided not to live anymore. I will not judge them, I don't know what private hell they were living in.
I will wish them blue, sunny skies and country roads.

And peace...

Throughout my entire adult life, I have always had extra ammunition around for exactly such an event...that someone else wants to go shooting, but perhaps didn't have any firearms, or counldn't aford the ammunition. I don't get to the range near as often as would be fun because I am so over-worked. But, I would be more than happy to spend some time with someone who needs a shooting buddy. Count me in.

Duh!!! That would help! Should I hold up my right hand like a mitten, or should I just say Michigan?! We live in "Jokeland County"...I mean...Oakland County.

I shoot quite often at PDHSC. I compete in PPC, I reload and I'd be glad to share anything I've got. I take new shooters out all the time and I'll make myself available to anyone in the area in need of a buddy.

Jessicalois, I believe I PM'd my cell number over to you a month or so ago on another issue. If you'd like to get together for a shoot, my family and I will be hitting PDHSC next weekend. You're welcome to join us. Just be prepared to be outshot by an 11 year old!
 
North East Ohio.

I live in Warren, Ohio.

I'm not actively looking for a range partner, but I sure wouldn't say "No", either. I usually shoot at the Grand River WMA range.

Anything and everything from handguns (partial to 1911's) shotguns (there's a trap field near the range) and rifles (AR types and bolt .308 as well as a few .22 rimfires to loan for a day). Oh, I've got a few blackpowder rifles, too. I'm always up to showing someone the ropes of muzzleloading.

I spend a lot of time working and with my family, but if someone needs a trigger to pull and an ear to bend I can be available.
 
Portland, Oregon
All I have:
XD.45
WASR-10
Saiga 12
I love to shoot in Astoria, out on the old logging roads. Pipeline is sweet, even some abandoned vehicles on occasion. I have yet to visit a range, ever, and wouldn't mind someone showing me the ropes. I have to send back my xd though, I'm not sure how long that process takes.
BTW, great idea!
 
Truly a great idea.

Willamette Valley, Oregon. I'm a member of Emerald Empire Gun Club just out of Springfield, and often shoot in the hills past the club too. I like to shoot bench rest, not competitively (I'm not that good), a lot of old C&R stuff, the occasional handgun, semi auto, and .22 just plinking.
 
This is an idea and a thread that is too good to die or not be bumped up.

Another central Oregon resident here I'm relatively new to this general area and still seeking out the best places to go.

Usually I like going with known people in small groups but there is always room at a range or gravel pit for any interested safe person or persons who want to see or try something different or just swap stories and ideas.

Anywhere besides The Barons Den worth looking into around Eugene OR?

Interests in firearms run from lever guns and wheel guns to milsurps curios and relics with a few good modern firearms now and then.
 
Most local gun clubs are pretty friendly places. Feel free to drop them a line and ask them what it takes to join up, or maybe just go shooting once or twice.

Clubs tend to be a lot friendlier than commercial ranges.
 
Wooster, Ohio, but I normally shoot at Kelbly's range just outside of Orrville. Members only, unfortunately, but it's a reasonable yearly rate and they have a nice outdoor set-up. Anyone nearby that is a current member, or may be interested in membership PM me.
 
Ventura County California

I have some great shooting buddies already, but I'm always looking to meet more shooters in my area.

I'm mostly handguns and am really enjoying shotgun lately.

I'd love to have a small local group for USPSA or even IDPA.
 
Scottsdale, AZ

I like to shoot Appleseed-style rifles (M14's, AR's, .22's for practice), I enjoy going hunting with a couple buddies of mine, I enjoy shooting handguns and have an OK collection of those. I used to be a member of Scottsdale Gun Club but cancelled from gunsmithing distaste (among other reasons), now I shoot at Ben Avery or out in the desert with good friends.

Anyone needs a range buddy or maybe even a hunting buddy, drop me a line.
