I'm not sure on their rifle policy. Based on their web site, it is pistol only but maybe someone knows for sure.

Yes I'll be there, will drag my wife with me again if she'll come. First time I went to Advanced Ranges was last years fun shoot and it was a blast, great place to shoot.

They allow rifles. I shoot a 7mm win mag there and they have no problems with it. I do know that you cant shoot 50bmg. Make sure you join their facebook page its really a great place to shoot.

I don't post on the forums much but I enjoy all the reading. I work down the road from A.R so im going to try to make it.

You going to make it? I still need to collect on that box of ammo. LOL

The last one I attended at A.R. had pop and cookies provided. (Not by A.R, but buy a member, or the board)

We don't usually worry about planning food and drinks for fun shoots, there's usually too much going on and everyone's on the range.

If someone wants to bring something, that's fine.

Possibly. If I come from home I'll be there with ammo ;)

Alright just wondering.

If anyone is hungry before or after, there is an excellent restaurant around the corner from there on Court St west of Center next to Halo Burger. Olympic Grille. Huge menu and cheap. Ask Opensights or Knightrider :lol:

No cost, it's on MGO, you just have to show up!

NickS
03-09-2011, 09:17 AM

You buy your own ammo. MGO pays for the range fees. The range will usually supply some targets.

Don't forget to bring eye and ear protection!

Children OK with adult supervision at all times, generally 10 and up, but younger could be permitted to shoot as long as they act safely.

This is according to what they said when I talked to the lady at the range, but I have no control over it, it would just be up to their discretion to let him shoot or not.

My daughter was 9 I think, Medic24 let her shoot his AR last time, She still talks about it... I missed it as it was my wife's turn out on the range

Bring your own eye and ear protection but the range has both available if absolutely needed.

To those who are going to the free shoot...I'm bringing my wife, it will be her first time shooting.
Would anyone of you allow her to shoot? We are trying to figure out what she might like to shoot frequently.

I'll have a 22, 2 9s, 2 38s, 2 357s, 3 45s, and a 44. I'm sure we can find something she likes.

03-11-2011, 01:32 PM
I am a maybe for the shoot right now. I am trying to get a couple of guys to go with me.

If I go, I will bring my little 460S&W a couple of 22's and 1 or 2 glocks. I am not sure what else yet. Maybe my PLR-16 :mg:

rowe1011
03-11-2011, 04:15 PM
THANKS ALL!! She'll be able to handle many of them at least, doubt she will shoot too many, this would just be a good way to get the feel for the size of gun she might want.

I'm sure she'll have more offers to try different firearms than time to shoot them. You won't find a friendlier group of people than you'll meet Sat night.

Had a great time even though it was pretty busy and I couldn't hear myself think due to the non MGO shooter on lane 10 but other than that it was a great time. Put quite a few rounds through my LC9 and LCP so it felt good to pop off ammo.

Thanks MGO for another fun shoot.

SeeTee

Yea lane 10 where it looked like lightning spiting out of something, dang it was loud!

Great time tonight, I hope every body had a good time too.

I really like being able to meet more MGO people and their family and frends, and to see the people I know again.

We had two new people out that saw us at Outdoorama and came out to shoot, I am glad you folks made it out.

I think we may have missed 2 people who had checked in at the front desk so I would call it 30 and NickS was there but didn't shoot so that makes 31.

That only problem with these events is they go by too fast!
