OK ....NYC G35 has the run down


Name: Sunset Gun Hill Range
Description: Outdoor Roofed in range. with bowling pin and other targets including paper targets...right now closest shot is 25 yards(there are further targets also)...due to renovation

[b]Here's the scoop on the range. They have only 6 lanes open right now...and are under major renovation...that will be done at the end of the month.

They would be willing to work a group rate after the first time we go and they see how much we shoot, then based on that the next time we'd come in they'd work it.

RATES and rules:

If you bring your own weapons its a $15 charge ($10 for lane fee & one time $5 safty instruction fee...then every other time its $10 for the lane if you bring your own gun)

IF YOU ARE RENTING Guns:
You must have ID then they will give you a "TAB" on that tab will be the amount of CLIPS you shoot out of each weapon.

examples of pricing quoted from them..to give you all an idea:
$5 for 7 shots 9mm
$6 for 8 shots M-16
$4 for 10 shots .22 cal

THEY also have clay shooting which is 25 shots for $15 dollars.

No lane fee if you are renting guns

<font color=blue>MY OPINION:</font color=blue>
Good: no lane fee, far targets for rifle shots, not tied to one type of weapon for the whole day

NOT SO GOOD: very little amount of shots for the money they are asking. Unless you are a very very good shooter with a handgun 25 yards is not that much fun (as most gun fights are between 7 and 10 yards...but thats besides the point)
Box of 9mm rounds is like $10 and you get 50 shots
they want 1/2 that money for only 7 shots....but you can switch up at any time.

Distance: its about a good 1.5 hr drive on route 80....that includes 2 tolls to get out the city.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS....

MY VOTE: WE see what everyone wants to do, or if we have better pricing options and at least wait until they finish construction....because 6 lanes for the busy weekends he told me they have wont be enough for all of us plus their regular customers ...OK there its is...

Maybe a mini meet in cunningham...instead....but forcast says rain right now??.....So I dont know
[b]G35SCBK...DIMITRY ITS ON YOU BROTHER....ITS UP TO YOU....CALL it ?....
The SQUAD WAITS FOR YOUR MOVE....(well at least I am...LOL..)

 

Hey I gotta suggestion if u guys aren't interested in it since it's only 6 lanes , isn't there a paintball place there we can go paintballing instead????

but whatever the Squad does I'm down for it.

It's Choice--Not Chance-- That determines your destiny.

 

What about that gun range out in LI with Balzac?

He got delivery of 1400 rounds of ammo cause we told him we'd chip in for the shooting. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] The price of that place sounds pretty damn pricy... So if I decide to spend say... $40-50... I'm getting anywhere from 30-50 shots in? ...and there's only 6 lanes?!

The only problem I see is we can't rent guns over at the place Greg shoots in LI... (correct me if I'm wrong)... I say we shoot up those 1400 rounds of ammo Greg has... [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img] But if the consensus is PA... I'm down.

SO it's not a type of place where I can rent a sniper rifle and shoot at a target from 100 yards out while prone?

---------------------------------

 

Afro, no it doesn't sound like it. BUT, you can shoot my sniper rifle to your heart's content, just as long as you put match ammo down the bore. At $20/box, its a bargain compared to what they'd charge you.

My 223 and 308 ammo is roughly $5/20 rounds. AK ammo is $4/20, M1 Garand 3006 (Saving Private Ryan battle rifle) ammo is $10/20.

I can't promise a fun twisty drive, but I can promise that there are upwards of 40 lanes, plus I'll have atleast 5 lanes blocked off for us with my own rifles. $10 entrance fee for unlimited shooting, means you can take your time aquanting yourself with the rifles and get an in depth understanding of how they work before you shoot them if you so desire.

The only limitation is how many people I can accomodate. I was able to teach 4 people with no problems last time on 3 lanes, but more than that gets hairy without additional trainers. I have another one, maybe two people who are willing to help you guys learn and supervise so you don't sit there scratching your heads if something malfunctions (FTE/FTF).

So, I have no problem keeping the ammo to myself, but it is there and available if you guys want to come out.

ADDITIONALLY, ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 23rd, THERE IS A PIG ROAST/SHOOT AT THE SAME RANGE. I WILL NEED A DEFINITE HEAD COUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ATTEND. I HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF GUESTS ALLOWED AND I'D PREFER TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN SHOOTING. IF YOU CAN DEFINITELY MAKE THIS EVENT, IM ME IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN RSVP.

The variety of weaponry on that date will be likely to warp your mind permanently!

 

Im down for Oct 23rd...chekc pm Greg
