copecowboy22 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd send Porter an email to check. scorch@doubletapranch.com. If I remember correctly he said not to send it there last year but I may be wrong. My wife say I am alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob D Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Range was fine even during all the flooding. The Wichita River is a few miles north of the range. Porter designed the range great. You could shoot on it the day after the 3-4" rains. Is the range surface still dirt? I haven't shot there in several years, but a wet match at the Double Tap Ranch used to mean cars stuck in the parking lot and 10 lbs of clay stuck to the bottom of each shoe. **** My question was answered on another forum. I'm told Robert put down some kind of gravel on the bays and that it's a huge improvement over the old range surface. Thanks to Robert Porter!

TerryO Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Remember the good old days, when we used to shoot this match in March. Remember getting sunburn the first day and shooting in freezing sleet and red mud up to your ankles... Maybe those weren't such good old days... Best thing Robert did was move the match to June and put down the gravel. Now all we have is memories LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Still any open slots? From the squad list it looks like around 10 have withdrawn from the match. Possibly due to the weekend weather forecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Stuff happens. Now what do I do with all my ammo? Find an indoor range maybe? A couple of years ago at DTC I tried to find an indoor range to test fire my gun after changing out some parts. Never did locate one. Maybe something new since then.

RangerTrace Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It's the wettest year in a long, long time. Unfortunately the DTR is ground zero for messed up weather. Good luck guys..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
