Hicksville TGT Meet - Oct 20 - fall planning ** chatter ** n chit

[Shotgun Jeremy]

This is a pic I just pulled off of thier website. Its taken from the very end of the bay. I take it doing a brisk walk from wall to wall, and I can get anywhere from 2-4 shots off between stops depending on how I'm shooting. I like it because it really throws you off trying to alternate targets while you're busy re-cocking too. Plus, the walls are nice because my bedroom is at the end of a hallway on the left side. So you come out and you have to shoot around a right-handed corner...which is difficult for a right handed shooter. So I'm going to start using that wall on the right side to practice my left handed shooting as well.

This is the new 25 yd rifle sighting lanes. There's a table set up for each lane, and I believe you can shoot anything up to .223. I may go hang out tmorrow so I'll take some notes. I gotta learn all this anyways lol

The rifle lanes and the shotgun lane were added as extensions to the pistol lanes that were there already. If I go tmorrow, I'll take some good pics of the entire range and post them for people who haven't been yet. They have some at the website, but I think I can take some better ones.

Anyone ever hear of zomboom (spelling?) exploding target mix? They sell it in 1/2 pound jars for $10/each, not sure how it stacks up to tannerite though.

Thanks for the update and pics Jeremy, looks like they've made some nice improvements since June.

Never heard of zoomboom but that price seems comparable to tannerite IIRC.

Cool might grab one or two before Hicksville to try it out side by side.

Tannerite at Hicksville is going $10 for every half pound. They allow any rifle on the 25 yd. I didn't get to make it up there tday with how it's raining and all, but I'll go up maybe later this week for the pics.

Thank you Captain Obvious!

I read through the thread and I do not see where anyone said they are bringing any. Did I miss it? I think I can bring some, I just don't know where to get it.

The stuff I brought last time came from www.houstongunsales.com. Its right around $65 plus shipping for a 10lb box of 1/2 lb jars. I chose 1lb jars and it was a few bucks cheaper. Tejano Scott might be able to get it a little cheaper. I never did ask him what he paid for what they brought to the last shoot.

They ship it ground so I would give it at least a week if not a little more.
