Man I wish we had a private club around me. You guys should consider yourself lucky. I live in Chicago and the nearest outdoor range is an hour drive. Actually there's two, one allows rapid fire into a pit which is cool to take the ar-15 and ak to and the other is in Indiana and is a park district range that's pretty nice. I'm forced to do most of my shooting at an indoor range and the scary thing is when you look at the dividers between the stations there are bullet holes in them. I was in there once and a bunch of young kids came in, four guys with one nine mm. and they're holding it sideways and emptying it and laughing. That's when I left.
Graybeard I want to be you when I grow up. That's my life plan in a nutshell, sell the house in the suburbs when the kids are grown and use the equity to buy a hunk of land somewhere. My dream is to be able to hunt and shoot on my own property.
