Howdy!! My first shoot was with the Knobcreek Gunfighters Guild, and I have considered them to be my "home" club ever since. We share the sub-machinegun range of Knobcreek Gun Range. My first shoot, there were 2 or 3 store fronts and a corral. The targets were stored in a trailer at the range. This past June, KCGG hosted the state championship. In the last year, those people have made many additions and extended the range facilities. Wonderful people who's company I really enjoy! In contrast, Casey County Sportsmans club is a basic skeet and trap range. Again, the targets are stored in a trailer in the barn, to be brought out by Fanner, with much assistance from Lefty, once a month for everyones entertainment. A small club with, again, Wonderful people who's company I really enjoy. Then there is Hooten Old Town, this place is hard to describe, it is one you really need to see for yourself, I promise it will be worth the trip. They have constructed an entire town, not storefronts, an entire town. If you want to go for the week end, they'll allow you to rent a store, at a rediculously low price. Would probably cost you more to rent a tent. I'm not sure what they do with their targets between matches, but would be willing to bet the reloading chores for a month that they store them in a trailer in a barn. Once more, Wonderful people who's company I really enjoy. Then there is the private property where the owners have built individual berms, have some really neat props and intresting senerio's. I believe I noticed a trailer with targets. Wonderful people who's company I really enjoy. I had occasion to shoot with the North Alabama Regulators this past March. Beautiful range, full of store fronts, a trailer to store targets and Wonderful people who's company I really enjoy.
Great or small, fancy or plain, they all seem to have a couple of similarities: I get to running my mouth and having a good time and forget to take pictures, and I can't clean a stage to save me!
