Revised opinion of Gun Site Hills shooting range.

[Bear44]

Shoulda beat his ass and knocked that chip off his shoulder. His range is 10 minutes from my house and I'll most likely never shoot on it. Heard the rumors, don't wanna visit the Grey Bar Hotel because we have differing "opinions".......

He's a little old man. Well, maybe not that old, but he is little.

You need something like this.

Ha! Nice set up, but I need something that's hand portable. I just ordered the Caldwell bench. Lots of good reviews.

They have a 2 year waiting list and ain't cheap!!!

Yeah, I checked out their web site and "ain't cheap!!!" is no exaggeration.

Thanks for the info guys. I think we are just going to use the same bean fields we are planning to hunt to get our come ups. Now all I have to do is find a good quality portable bench. We'll have to move the bench to get the different ranges. We can't shoot prone because the beans are too high.

River Bend doesn't have a waiting list. You're thinking of Cherokee. RBGC just has that rediculous initiation fee. You do have to have 2 members sign off on your application. All you have to do is shoot in a few of their public matches to prove you're safe and you can get the sign offs.

You are correct sir. I think I will continue to do that til the day I die.

Shoot prone from the bed of a pickup

With a jack under the hitch to keep it still.

Tried this once and every time I moved a little, the truck suspension shook for 20 seconds. Learning experience for long range shooting.

Problem is I will have to change positions in a bean field to get the different ranges. I don't think the farmer would appreciate me crushing his crops.

I have often recommended Gun Site Hills as an excellent place to shoot long range rifles and have spoken well of the owner. I even held my best friends bachelor party there. After what happened this morning I can no longer in good conscience make that recommendation. Suffice it to say that I made a four and a half hour round trip to get spoken to like a snot nosed recruit over things that had been agreed to beforehand. Oh, and I was five minutes late after battling through rush hour traffic. I chose not to shoot and left.

Does anyone know of someplace that I can get come ups for 400, 500, 600 and 700 yards where the owner of the place is not an ass?

The C.M.P. range near Anniston, AL is a state of the art facility. $35.00 / day, Target monitors at the shooting tables and ranges to 500M+ with dining facility!!!
