Been going to a local state run 100 yard outdoor range for a little over a year now. It`s a busy range, particularly on the weekends as one would expect. Being interested in firearms, I`ll take a walk behind the firing line just to see what everyone`s shooting. At this range I`d estimate a good 95-98% handguns and all manner of AR variants. I would bet that I could count on less than two hands the number of " traditional " scoped, bolt action rifles that one would call a hunting rifle. Interestingly, and maybe because the range is only 100 yards, about the same number of chasis, precision rifles as the hunting bolt actions. From a variety of firearms standpoint, it`s really quite boring. I`d also say that 80-90% of the targets are set at max of 75 yards, mostly less. Comparatively very few out at 100 yards. While the lack of firearms variety was not really a huge surprise, the ranges of targets was.
