[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1075726, member: 4235"] Yeah, I wouldn't mind having something a little closer to town. Right now I go to Pawnee to shoot, which is about a 30 min. drive -- they have a free range at their City Lake. Yeah, there are sometimes other people out there, but its no big deal -- everybody I've ever ran into out there is pretty good about letting you go downrange and post targets, etc... unless the cops are out there qualifying, in which case they take up the whole range. I like to shoot 25m Army Qualification Tests and other 25m reduced size targets, so I usually go up to the 25m line. If other people are there, I can shoot from the 100 yard line and put a cardboard box or something out at 25m to staple targets to, so no big deal. But if there was something like that closer to home, I'd be all about it. I doubt anybody's going to open a free range in Stillwater anytime soon though! ranges like the one in Pawnee are really rare. Its not worth it for me to join the SRPC because of their policy on guests. You're not supposed to bring guests more than 2 times per year, and can't bring more than 3 at one time. I like to try to get people interested in marksmanship, so I frequently bring more than 3 people with me to the range. I'm actually probably going to join the Oklahoma City Gun Club in Arcadia. Its less than an hour from Stillwater, and it has MUCH better facilities than anything the SRPC has... they have a full high power range that goes out to 600 yds with pits and raising/lowering target rigs, and all kinds of other great facilities for just about every discipline of shooting you could imagine. I guess they care a little more about promoting marksmanship, because they let you bring guests. No need to check in at a ranger station or any of that crap like you have to deal with at SRPC.

I've also heard from another member on here there is a pretty good range in Enid, that has a 650 yd. rifle range, among other things... anybody know any more about that? I'm going to to check it out one of these weekends soon. Enid is about the same distance away as Arcadia is though, and I doubt that range is any better than OKCGC. Soon I'll be making enough money to buy some land, and then I won't have to worry about it. But when I have built my 1000 yard range in my back yard, anybody who has come to an Appleseed will be welcome to come out and keep up their skills... as long as I can come out and shoot any cool-looking guns you bring with you!
