Cost to shoot as a guest is $5.00 per person. You must supply your own eye and ear protection, paper targets and target hanging materials.

Rifle lanes require a heavy duty stapler and cardboard to hang targets to the backstops. The handgun pit requires cardboard, stapler and/or heavy tape to hang targets from the backstop.

Recommend that you bring insect repellent and bottled water or soft drinks. Alcohol is not allowed! Weather dependent, also bring sunscreen and/or shoes that you don't mind getting muddy and dirty. This is an OUTDOOR range.

Directions To Owl Hollow Shooting Range

From I-65 South/North take the Peytonsville Road exit, #61; go West about .7 mile to the red light at South US 431 (Lewisburg Pike); turn South (towards Lewisburg) onto US 431 and go approximately 6.5 miles to Owl Hollow Road; turn west onto Owl Hollow Road; the range is located approximately 1.1 miles on the left side of the road.

Important Update Regarding Owl Hollow:

As many of you know, the Owl Hollow Gun Club no longer has the lease for the shooting range. The range is now being run by the landowner. The landowner is fine with us continuing to meet there during the summer provided that we police ourselves and ensure that everyone is being safe and responsible.

Some changes that should be mentioned are:

There is now only the 25yd pistol pit. The short pistol pit has been closed down as of this writing. Only handgun calibers may be shot in the pistol pit. Centerfire rifle calibers may not. We did shoot some defensive shotgun (12ga) in the pistol pit yesterday and the owner did not appear to have a problem with that.

Full auto weapons are not allowed to be fired in full auto. If you have a full auto, you can bring it and shoot it but you have to stay in single fire mode.

Rapid firing is permissible as long as it is kept in 3-round, controlled strings. Bump firing is forbidden.

Anyone doing anything unsafe will be asked to leave. Period.

That's pretty much it. We will review these rules again on the day of the event just to make sure that there are no gray areas. It's imperative that we respect the wishes of the landowner if we want to be allowed to meet there again.

Look forward to seeing you guys there!

See yall there!!!!

[TGO David]

Please pay special attention to the start and end times. We will start at 12:00 noon to accommodate those who will be attending church that morning since it is on a Sunday this time.

The official TGO portion of the day will end at 3:00pm. You are more than welcome to stay and shoot beyond that time but you will be on your own recognizance from that point forward. This is to say that we won't be there to interface between you and the land owner should a problem arise.

Finally, we are doing this on Sunday this time because it allows people who usually have other obligations on Saturdays to attend. Next month we will have it on Saturday again, and may flip-flop like this throughout the summer.

Thanks.

[xd shooter]

Very respectful!

See yall there.

OK last month Mr JHatmaker was nice enough to bring drinks along for everyone. Also when he left he stocked a cheap styrophome cooler with drinks & left it with us.

If anyone didn't see them they were at the pistol pits.

I brought home the surplus drinks & the cooler, so I'm going to repay the favor.

I'm bringing the cooler with Water, Dr. Pepper, & Mountain Dew.

In no way am I sugesting to make a cookout with this event!!

All I'm doing is carring on a nice gestuer.

I will also leave the cooler at the pistol pits.

Man that sounds like fun but I will be in REno NV. I will help pass the word. Maybe I can make it if you have one in July.

[Guest JHatmaker]

I'll bring a couple extra tables again.

Anybody got any 10mm? I finally got in that 6" Storm Lake barrel for my G20 and want to test it out, but all I can find is HP's

Alrighty guys & gals! Let's get thangs goin ! We've got alot of paper to thrash today.

[Mark A]

speaking of trashing paper, I just realized that I might need to bring some targets. I usually shoot at indoor ranges where I can buy them there. Does this range have any for sale?

If not, I will have to hope that academy or dick's opens in time this morning so that I can get some.

And, while we are on the subject, I'm hoping to sight in my Sig 556 today. Any suggestions on a particular target for 100 yards?

Thanks, Mark
