We drove through there today, looking for the range. Where the GPS said it was supposed to be there was nothing. But a couple hundred yards away there was a driveway with a big pipe gate arch. Pretty much straight across from Bulldog wireline. Is my GPS on crack, or is it up that driveway? Didn't see a sign.
Yep, it’s back in the middle of a cow pasture. Literally.
Ok.... Do they put up a sign on match days or something?
I think it’s actually the gate before the one with the arch you are talking about.
I stopped by both shops. Jackrabbit is huge, but there wasn't a bike in the whole building. Lots of quads and sxs though. Big D had several I liked. A new Drz400sm, a Tenere 700, and a couple naked bikes I have no business on.

We have a pile of steel and room to run here where we are. And mostly just go to ranges for steel challenge matches. But with Ables only being 15 min away, maybe we'll come play a bit. I'd looked at their membership and couldn't afford it while unemployed. But I might have to check out the Saturday if it's open for all..Howdy ILexpatriot from Humble, TX. If you are interested there is a gun club called Ables Gun club and it is open to the public on Saturdays. I usually go there when I can to buy my shotgun flats or when my daughter competed during their tournaments. Most of the range is designed for sporting clays and five stand but they also have rifle and pistol bays.

I would join if my we lived closer but too far. I only go on ammo specific run like competition shotgun loads shopping or when we attend their tournaments. You should also check on Trinity Firearms in Cleveland which is a great for steel matches. I know it can be far from Huntsville but not too far and worth a weekend trip.
Since I'm not smart enough to keep track of you and letsget86d and based on join dates alone, you are now:
We spend the weekend in Porter pretty often. I believe that's a bit closer to Cleveland.I w

That might not be all bad. I didn't realize what putting IL in my username would bring with it..Since I'm not smart enough to keep track of you and letsget86d and based on join dates alone, you are now:

A lot of good bikes for sale here and the inventory is always changing. Just like TGT, TWT peeps keep others honest.
Cleveland will always hold a special place for me. I don't think I've ever been there. But when we used to drive down to visit, on 59 where it turns to a divided boulevard, with street lights in the center strip.. that's where we'd start seeing the sign to Cleveland. And that's when we knew we were almost here..
Ok. Looking at the map. I guess I have been there..
Yes it is. There is another range down the road called Thunder gun range but the owner is a total weirdo and all I can say is check him out at your own risk.
Completely forgot about TWT. I bought my DRZ400S from someone on that forum. Decent people for sure.Since I'm not smart enough to keep track of you and letsget86d and based on join dates alone, you are now:

I'm a hick, and as such was taught about guns, but not so much "gun safety". At least not safety as required in competition. We opted for a few seasons of Steel challenge since 95% of the time you shoot stationary. I ran a couple uspsa stages, and did alright. But it was nice to learn the requirements without having to think about moving too..
Right on. I remember no rapid fire rules and not being able to change my own target. Wondering how the rules work for comps and if I could practice shooting on the move there.
Idk. I haven't been to a range here yet. But I know there were some suggestions on this thread that should apply to you as well..
