Langenator Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Now I just have to figure out the risk level to wearing my kilt while shooting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Now I just have to figure out the risk level to wearing my kilt while shooting... There are prone stages I assume. How much would you charge so you won't wear it? I think if you keep your demands low enough, you could get most of us to chip in a twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tempt me...you've pretty much guaranteed I'm going to walk around Wednesday afternoon/Thursday morning (I'm shooting Segment 1) in the kilt.

buffalo chip Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Will carts be necessary or can we drive up to stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimmy57 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 You should be able to drive to all stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langenator Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The word "should" makes me nervous...I do wish the good Mr. Sole would pop in with a definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There was no problem driving up to each stage at the past two years of matches so not thinking there would be one this year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Is there a range map posted anywhere that shows the stage locations? Edited April 14, 2015 by Blue Jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Guys, this ain't a complicated range. You can drive everywhere. The only way that could change would be with weather, but even with that, I think the roads are still pretty solid. Probably won't need a map for stages, there is only one road on the range.

238shooter Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Gate was locked at 5pm when we arrived. Something happen? Would think the range would be accessible until near dark.... Hope the zero range is open early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Gate was locked at 5pm when we arrived. Something happen? Would think the range would be accessible until near dark.... Hope the zero range is open early. They closed the range at 5. The gentleman I talked to said the gate will open at 6:00 am, shooters meeting at 6:30.

Jim Norman Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 My first trip to this facility. What a place,the potential is incredible. The owners are seriously some really nice people. THANK YOU Damon and family. The match itself was well run with stages that were not stupid. Sorry if that sounds a bit weird, but so often we see target arrays set up simply to enlarge a round count. The stages were well thought out. The round counts were decent, large enough to justify the trip, but not requiring an ammo bearer to follow you on a stage. Shooting positions were achievable by just about anyone. You needed to be fast and accurate to place well. I did better than I have recently, but I know that I still need to improve. One issue that cost me was my own failure to carefully assess the penalties. Had I realized that the miss penalties were not as large as some matches. I might not have fallen in love with a couple targets. Could have moved me up a few places since I missed anyway! I will definitely return to Tarheel matches and to this venue. Again Thank you all!

Vlad Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I had fun. The stages were excellent, the locals welcoming, the RO's friendly, etc. Yep it rained, and yes it was muddy, but its 3gun, we are supposed to be all tough and stuff, so I just flopped in the mud and rolled with it.
