3/25/12 @ Elm Fork great shooting day (Photos/Videos)
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:52 pm
Mommy, Yesmeena and myself had a great time at ELM fork shooting range. We got a semi-private pistol bay and 2 RO with one a good Gun instructor. He did great job coaching my wife in her shootings especially with SIG 522.
Range report with photos and videos is coming soon.
As a teaser, my wife, bore-sighted and zeroed her scoped H&R Buffalo-Classic in 45-70 in just 10 rds! She was placing hole-over-hole at 25 yrds. with last 2rd at Bullseye! Limb saver was great saver from induced pain and shoulder bruising.
Yesmeena did great too, with Sig 522 rifle she had .5" group at 7 yrds with some 50 rds made hole as big as a quarter.
The range is clean and I mean it. RO are super shooter friendly and will coach new shooter for free. They do volunteer for coaching. you do not have to ask. Maybe we had great RO since they were the older guys.
As for the range fees, they could be expensive if you need to use many bays, since to shoot paper pistol targets at the pistol bays it $16, add $10 to shoot pistol/rifle. Add $10 to shoot steel target. Reactive steel targets are charged $20 per 20 min. There is surcharge for multiple guns too for over 3. Plus you have to pay tax as the fees do not include the tax.
We paid $60 for 3 shooters. Momy shot both at the pistol bay and the new 50 yrds range. There is also the old 100 yrd range.
The new 50 yrds range is excellent. It just needs more nets between shooters to stop flying brass from messing your hair.

NB: we were told that our target were at 7 yrds and then 15 yrd shooting the SIG 522. I guess the distance is a bit more than that, maybe 15yrd and 25yrs

Wife liked shooting.
no need for CHL to go to the range or to keep your pistol in the car.
