Granny had better restrict it to non-slug shotguns then. The charts below are all assuming the optimal conditions with weather, elevation, and angle, but you'll get the general idea. Except for .22 short all rifle rounds travel a good deal farther than 1000m. In the right conditions, .22LR can go over a mile. http://www2.huntercourse.com/tennessee/study?chapter=3&page=8 As do handguns except .25ACP and maybe some other small calibers not listed. http://www.info4guns.com/graphics/handgun_range_distance.gif Slugs go way out there too. Check the chart at the bottom. HunterCourse.com

I just called Charlie to give him a heads-up. He said "ya'll come on!" Let's plan on eating at 12:30, so arrive accordingly. If you're just shooting, then probably around 1:00. Membership is $40 for the year and includes as many visits as you can manage and covers minors that accompany you. It's the best deal anywhere. There's no time limt per visit. Just leave when you're done or closing time, whichever comes first. The CHMR website says it's $40/person, but one of Charlie's range officers told me it covered the whole household when I brought my wife once. You'd probably want to ask Charlie himself to know for sure. $5 per person for non-members, who must be with a member. There will be plenty of members there (me included) who you can say you're with if you think this will be a one-time visit for you. Just hand Charlie a five-spot and tell him you're with the TGO group. He's easy to find. It's closed on Thursdays now, but the site doesn't mention that. <<from the CHMR site>> Range Schedule The range is open 7 days a week year round opening at 8AM Monday-Friday and at 9AM on Sundays. On the first weekend of the month, the range is closed in an effort to aid noise reduction for the neighborhood. Range closing times are as follows: [TABLE=width: 74%] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #808000] January 4:30 February 5:00 March 5:20 April 6:30 May-August 7:00 September 6:30 October 5:30 (5:00 after time change) November 4:30 December 4:00 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

The cause seems to be that when the JHP passes through the clothing, bits of the cloth/fabric get jammed into the cavity on the front of the bullet. That makes its shape closer to FMJ than a JHP, keeping it from mushrooming out as much.

It's not penetration that's a problem. It's expansion. 40 cal will not have a problem getting through winter clothing. The Box O' Truth #8 - The Rags O' Truth - Page 1

I think this guy shoots handguns on the weekends at Stones River.

Yeah. That doesn't make sense at all. If that's the policy, how are they supposed to put the holes in them? edit: fer spelllin'

This, boys and girls, is why we need to know the difference between there, their, and they're.

Let us know when we get one of those.

Guns and Leather is pretty well stocked in them at the Greenbriar location too.

Since the OP said 70-100 mile rides, I'm going to go with "no" on that one.

Let's plan to use the lower range so we have more space and have longer shooting lanes. I'm thinking we'll get the picnic setup around 11:30/11:45 and eat at 12:00. Then get shooting around 12:30. BBQ sounds like a good idea. Easier than grilling too. There are a couple of picnic tables at the lower section, so we'll have a place to setup. Now we'll need a head count of people who will be eating. I'm in. If there's not enough interest in eating together, we can always kill that and just shoot.

It looks like the 15th at CHMR is shaping up to be our day and place. Do we want to try to get the upper range and get the grill and do some hotdogs, or just stick to the lower range for more space?

nicemac, are these the permanent painted lines? I know when they resurfaced I440 several years ago they used some kind of tape that didn't stick really well. It ended up looking like something from a Dr. Seuss book. Then when they finally finished everything else they came back and removed that stuff and painted real lines.

It needs a sling mount

Could you work an M203 onto it? Maybe some flip up front and rear sites.

Post pics of your stitches.

Hoppes #9 and traditional copper bore brush for the rimfire stuff. Everything else is breakfree and a bore snake. Hoppes gun oil for lubrication.

I could probably do the 15th.

Cops have hair?

Only if you cut yourself after letting someone else hold the knife.

This. My in-laws live in a very nice home in a very quiet area. That didn't keep a couple of thugs from breaking in on my mother in law and holding her at gunpoint on her knees pleading for her life before finally deciding to let her live and make a run for it. They've never been caught.

Go to your local CO-OP for Malathion. Tractor Supply may have it too. I've never seen the bags fall off as the plant grows. They're stuck on pretty good. If they've already gone dormant, I'd say pull the bags off and burn them. Then spray the bush down really well with the malathion. Hit it again in the early spring. Malathion works well against most bugs. While you have the sprayer loaded up and messy, you may as well make a pass around the perimeter of your house. It keeps silverfish, centipedes, spiders, and more away. The only downside I know of to malathion is the smell.....rotten eggs while spraying, but it goes away as it dries.
