If we tried to schedule it a different weekend than the Sunday shoot some folks might even go to both...or neither. Just throwing some ideas out there.
I like to get out to the gun range about once per month. I go on Saturday's because I work security for my church on Sunday's. If someone wishes to pick a Saturday, I am up for that. Typically first Satuday is reserved for siren test in my community but the other thee or occasionally four are up for grabs. How about a second Satuday shoot. We can rotate through some of the local ranges.
Ive been to and like Elm Fork, I think outside would be preferred as indoor is typically pay by the hour.
I used to work for the security company attached to DFW gun range, its ok, I enjoyed it more when it was free and didnt have to follow the rules.
They open at 8am on Saturday. I know the clay bays fill up really quick. I'd assume the pistol bays do too. I'm not sure when everyone wants to meet up, but I think the Sunday guys meet up at 9am.
I can get there when they open to get a bay. I'm usually up pretty early anyway. I don't mind doing some .22 plinking for an hour or so if everyone wants to meet at 9.
Any other thoughts on times? Anyone been to Elm Fork pistol range on Saturdays, and can speak to how busy it is?
If the weather is nice, it is croweded. Sometimes they have military or reserves there as a group and they take up quite a bit of room. If you call ahead you might be able to get the first bay or two reserved for a 9am start. (The first ones next to the rifle range) Tell them its the TGT shooting group. Seems to work for TGO Sunday shoots.
