I'm home now. It only took 20 minutes to unload the car, lol.
i don't always meet a group of strangers at the range, but when I do, I bring enough hardware.
BigBoss031 - later in the week may work depending on how bad it rains M/T. PM me since I may go out as well to re-zero my ACOG for the warm weather.
The forecast is mixed this week and there is a huge suppressor event at Fusion this Saturday, hosted by S.A.W. Do we want to try again on Sunday or wait another week? It would be nice to eventually schedule regular monthly events.
thx!

I have had a day to think about this and i have some questions.
Why did this happen? This was planed for over a month and it was on the website of the range.
Why wasn't there something said about the range condition a day or two before?
why didn't we have the gate combination?
Why were we there so long before someone showed up with answers? If it is normally a self monitored range, i can understand this one.
I had a good amount of time and effort into this trip. I rearranged my mothers day plans, made new target stands, replaced batteries, loaded a bunch of stuff, bought food and drinks, and drove a good ways.
I am willing to do it all again, but i would appreciate some input so this doesn't happen to me, or others, in the future. On occasion i drive to a range in Paris that had a similar prep load, so the effort is common for me. The difference is i know in advance, what to expect.
Understand that i am not blaming any individual, just the process that allowed it to happen. If we are going to do a monthly thing out there, this type of issue should not be allowed to happen again.

Wow.
Glad I did not make the journey. Pretty shitty way to treat customers.
I used to spend a lot of time off-road, and I am a big believer in the tread lightly motto. No need to tear the ground up. Like you said, it's just not worth it.Either someone gets stuck or we tear up the ground to a point that it takes longer and costs more to repair and finish the entrance (more likely the former). And, we could not examine the remainder of the path to the range without making it past that one point.
thanks,

I agree we just need to set another one up. They are tied up this weekend, so maybe the next?
