Hello from Memphis!

[Kopis]

Hello all,

I've been in the Memphis area about 15 years now. I've been around firearms since I was young but started shooting a little distance in the past few years. I've built a few ARs (RRA 18" with WOA 1:7 barrel, two stage trigger, sightron scope, blah blah blah) and love pistol shooting as well. I shoot a modded G34, carry a G17 and kimber cdp. I'm fortunate enough to have access to my Dad's farm right across the river in Marion so I've built a small range with hardened steel targets to take any rifle or pistol. I have it setup out to 500 yards. Sadly I'm only hitting my 8" steel at 400 tho. 223 drops 45" at 500, I just can't make it right now. If any other memphians want to join me for a weekend shoot, you are welcome to, just shoot me a PM. A few friends and I get together most Sundays to shoot.

Welcome to TGO Kopis, I don't get down to Memphis very often but if I get a Sunday free sometime I might stop out & put a few rounds down-range with you.

Welcome aboard and thanks for the invitation. I may have to take you up on your offer sometime. I only shoot pistols and have one .22 rifle. Indoor ranges get old pretty quick!

Shooting steel is tons more fun than going to a boring range as you mentioned. I actually rebuilt my three target stands this past weekend. I have one target at chest height and one at head height. Two stands have a 12" square chest target and 8" round head and the other one has a 8" round chest and 6" head shot. All targets are 3/8" thick AR500 hardness. So far only my 22-250 has dented them even at 200 yards.

I'll be sure to post some pics after our shoot next weekend.

Anyone who is interested just send me a pm.
