Gun Range ?

[Sleepy]

This is probably a very ignorant question, but I have never been to a public gun range, therefore I have no clue. How do you retrieve your targets? I'm talking rifles, and shooting 200-300 yards.

Depends on the range: foot, golf-cart or community bed of truck. I worked an F-Class shoot where someone paid me to pull his targets. No, I didn't take cash.

You walk during a cease fire.

I shoot at a range going out to 600 where you can drive when it's dry...I believe it's been under water since April...

Walk down there and pick 'em up. Preferably after everyone has quit shooting !

Wasn't sure if there was a range boy like at the golf course (not literally) or if like said above, there was some sort of cease fire ever so often to go retrieve them.

I shoot at a public range in Houston when I want to shoot past 300. If it's wet you have to walk to the 600. The range techs pick up all targets at the end of the shooting day. I've been there once or twice and they were nice enough to bring mine back to me.

Usually there is a range officer that will call a cease fire every set amount of time. Usually 15-30 minutes. Alot of times though if there is an empty range he will call them when ever every one on the line is ready to go down and retrieve.

If there isn't a range officer present and only a couple of guys present you just come to a mutual time to quit shooting and go retrieve, done this more often than with a range officer just make dang sure you and the other guy are communicating.

Which range is the OP going to?

Each range is different

Sounds like ASC. Love that 600 yard walk...especially when the guys at 300 forget about you and start shooting

I'd say wait for a lull, provide cover fire and hustle to closest cover, repeat til you make it to the target! jk jk They will have a cease fire and allow shooters to go down range.

I was out there last year doing some load development at the 200 and a couple of guys started blasting away at the 600 while a few were down at the 300. The 400 yard is the one you really have to look at as it's out of sight out of mind.

Ultimately make sure you assume nothing especially if you have any part in organizing the cease fire. Seen some serious errors and miscommunication over the years at place like ASC. Make sure all bolts are open and my advice is to rack the semi auto's like ar 15's etc. It only takes one mistake.

How's things looking at ASC? Did the range office get flooded?
