[Balljoint]

[Balljoint]

Must be too early to think about a shoot out

[pdog06]

thinking about it, yes. Planning it, not quite yet......

Wanted to have one this fall but work keeps getting in the way for me........you retired guys make me jealous!

[Balljoint]

It's not what it's cracked up to be what with my back problems and not getting to the range when i want to

Glad to see the shoots are still happening!!! :)

[Balljoint]

No not anyone have an idea.

[DennisPA]

Can we start planning now??? It's cold as heck out today and all I can think about is sitting at a bench on a warm spring day burning some powder!!!

I need a shooting get together. Been a long time since I have seen you all. Let's have some fun.

Where do these shoots happen?

There is a 1000 yard range out by Ridgway, PA. What type of shootout are we talking? My 110 FCP-K .308 and my 110 .338 edge would love to get together! Haha!

Was thinking do we need a 1000 yrd range as New Holland is 600 yrds with pull targets, would need more info but mite be doable

I belong to the Ridgway club. As a facility it cant be beat, i think about 40 benches. Not sure about policy as for private groups using it.
You can see the range by going to the website.

2yrs ago I contacted new holland and they wanted $500 to rent the range for a private event.

Feel free to give them a call to see if it's the same. If we can get enough guys to commit up front and pay up front I am ok with that.

Even if nobody else would want to, I am going to go up to the Ridgway Range this summer. It's under an hour from me. The New Holland range would be about a 4 hour drive...I also have a farm that I shoot at with live targets (red tags!) at about 800-1200 yards.

I compete up at Ridgway and I second it is a great place to shoot.
Ok Jr. What are red tags?

Farmers get red tags for Deer. If they do have red tags, and they give some to you, then you can legally hunt deer on their property at any time. Farmers that grow a lot of soy beans are the best guys to make friends with! Have them get red tags from the game commission and they can have you hunt all the deer on their land because of crop damage.

Have the elk made it that far west yet?
I know the farmers in the Dubois area arent worried about red tags on those.
They just call the warden and say come get your elk.

We don't have Elk out this way yet... Farmers are allowed to shoot the deer out here for crop damage at any given time. The nice thing about the red tags is that I can go hunt and keep the animal instead of having to turn it is to the game commission. here is a site that sort of explains the rules. Red tags only apply to whitetail deer (that I know of), and only apply to antlerless deer.

Just checked new holland gun clubs website and they now charge $1000/day to rent the 600yd range! Pretty steep but would be $50/shooter if we had 20 committed members.
