Blogorado update…

The shooting range is in 🙂


After spending the morning touring the town, and visiting the Museum/Library (well Breda IS a librarian after all), a good lunch, and a few quick clothing changes, it was off to ride horses…

Farm Girl was going to get everybody rides that wanted one; since I’ve ridden a few horses over the years, AeJim and I pulled off with Farm Dad to go set up the range. Thankfully there were only the three of us, since we’re all qualified RSOs, we spent at least an hour looking at sight lines, backstop/berm, distances, etc…

And THEN the arguments started… 🙂

We finally ended up with two separate ranges, separated by a berm with a pistol range going out to 20 yards, and a rifle range going out to 250 yards. We built the plate rack, target backers, dug the poppers in and safety checked all of it, then built and placed the target backers for the rifle range.

This is a shot of the pistol range, paper targets to the left, poppers in the middle and plates to the right. I’m standing at the 20 yard line…


After we finished, we headed over to the riding area, but they had finished, so it was back to the range, for everybody to get a look (and critique our work). And realized there was an extra truck in the parade, AD and his daughter had pulled in!

Then it was back to town, watching a beautiful sunset as I drove, and no I’m not posting my lousy picture of it; then dinner (oh man, I’m stuffed)…

You can go to Snarkybytes and see a MUCH better picture than I took…

  1. A little run-down of the bullet launchers being used, would be nice.
