Where can I sight in my pistol at 100 yards?

[southtexaspilot]

I have a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull and want to sight in the scope at 100 yards. The Bullethole will not allow any pistols on the rifle line. Anyone know of a local civilian range where I can sight in my pistol?

Thanks in advance,

W

Try "A Place to Shoot" on the south side. 628-1888

They will allow it.

Most ranges will allow, but you must first demonstrate your skills (qualify). Even my bother-in-law who is a drill instructor for the Marines and was on the shooting team/ex-sniper had to qualify. Good Luck

The Bullethole has a zero tolerance policy involving pistols on the rifle line. I tried to do so today. They were very professional in letting me know. I will try A Place to Shoot.

I've done it at A Place To Shoot. Called today after I read your first post to confirm they still allowed it and the guy I spoke with said it would be OK as long as the weapon is controlled, whatever that means.

Down, pistol, Down! wooo here! Just a little more control and I won't have to bring the leash next time.

Arrowhead would allow it, buts that's way out near college station...

May I inquire as to the reason some ranges won't allow it?

 

[southtexaspilot]

Bullethole said there was an incident or two.

I'll shoot 100 yard pistol at my place quite often and usually welcome guests to do the same. Lately I've been having to give some instruction first, as it seems a few people's understanding of ballistics has them point the pistol up at a 45 degree angle and quickly unload a mag over the berm.

Could be similar incidents at The Bullethole.

It's something everyone who carries should try.
I have seen folks with a 2" 38 special Taurus and crimson trace grips shoot at 100 yds and even outshoot some rifles.

So, is this the "reason" or at least one of them???

Why the confusion?

Everyone who carries should try? Well...ok....I guess for the same reason why a dog licks his balls too....yeah I guess because you can try 100. Do you think a defensive action involving a 100 yd shot would fly in court if you actually did it in the first place?....then claiming self defense? HA! NOT! Try murder! That would be a one way trip to the joint guaranteed! So your claim is not only baseless but, bordering on recklessness, and very few shooting ranges would allow it in the first place. Furthermore, CHL certification guidlines outline the criteria for self defensive actions and 100 yards is NOT one of them .

Ok...lemme get this straight. Be patient with me here, 'cause I may be a little slow... "a 2" .38 Taurus w/ Crimson Trace grips @100 yds" ......folks with "s" meaning plural.... "outshooting some rifles" with an "s" meaning plural....meaning you have seen this feat a number of times, right? Where? On TV? And who on these more than once occasions you claim was shooting the rifles that the 2" .38 Taurus w/ Crimson Trace grips @100 yds" outshot? People who were blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other?Were they just regular folks who seldom shoot firing rifles that were not sighted in being unable to hit the broadside of a barn?

Wow! What a claim! I may have been born at night but it sure as hell wasn't last night! In other words....BULLSHIT!!

/\/\.....wow, we have a winner in the "smiley" use competition.

No confusion....'just not your common occurance. Now yes...I've a TC Contender Encore that I've shot 100yds with...being that it's more or less designed for those kind of shots. If you wanna practice proficiency, then ok too.

But in reality, are you really gonna attempt a 100 yard shot with a handgun in a "moment of truth" scenario? I mean...handguns are for close in situations....or so I've been taught in the past....but hey, I could be wrong too.

Well brother, to be completely honest, I cannot recall the last time I saw a claim like that and perhaps the "moment" got me a bit carried away. Sorry 'bout that but, you gotta admit....that one is really out there, so to say.atriot:

I don't understand what is confusing about wanting to hunt with a handgun. Where I come from, Montana, it's common to hunt with large caliber handguns. I hope to be able try it on hogs around here.
