Took a day off to go to the range and found out that I’m not allowed to shoot my 308. They have this temporary rule that doesn’t allow anyone to shoot anything equal of above a .30 bullet. This restriction doesn’t make any sense because it applies to 308 but they do allow you to shoot magnum 7mm calibers (like 7 RM).

So what are my alternatives to shoot at 100 Y minimum? I usually go to Top Gun at Leonard but they’re only open Thursday through Saturday.

I was out there today and they wouldn't let me shoot my .58 round ball... Or my .32 Roundball gun either.

They have a court ordered stipulation of 30cal or smaller on the rifle range

That a crazy one there.

It is part of a temporary agreement until they upgrade the berms.
At least that is the way it was reported in the paper. I would think they would mention that when you come in.

Just called and confirmed nothing above a .30 cal on the rifle range ...but they hope to have it cleared up by the end of the month !

I sure as heck hope so!! From what I have seen the bullets being found in the neighbor hood in question are smaller bullets (223/5.56ish) not 30+ calibers.

I saw the news reports too and if you look at the map and account for distance and the change in elevation, you would have to be firing .50 bmg or better. Of course the Fox 4 news report didn't say anything about the shell casings found a few lots over from that Jersey guy that got shot. Go figure.

They are now expecting to have it cleared up by the end of April.

Great range out there

I agree. Sounds like another case of a judge or legislator making a rule that they won't have to live with, but scr**s with other people.

what about shotguns???

I don't know for sure but since the shotgun range "faces" a slightly different direction then I suppose they don't have any restrictions there. In addition, relative to [higher powered] rifles and depending on the shot, shotguns don't have the same range.

X2

Shotguns at the end of the range to shoot clays are good to go

What's the current status on this? Has anybody called them recently?

Go to Elm Fork. It would be A LOT closer for you than to go to Garland

I called them last week. They are having a difficult time getting permits to build the berm. The State is saying they need federal permits and the Feds are saying they need state permits.

They are now hoping for the end of May.

I heard that they didn't have any insurance? BS of truth??

Any word on this ?

I just called and they said still limited to .30 cal and below ...they said things are moving though

Went out there this weekend still nothing above a .30 cal....I like those guys very friendly and will continue to have my buiness. They did say that the work on the berm was to start in a couple weeks.

A bit frustrated with the .30 cal rule. Been out there a couple times still unable to shoot my .300blk. I guess i need to get out to top gun. I just have a hard time with the limited access. Really missing the Tom Bean range.

Any word on when the berm will be fixed or when we will be able to shoot above .30

I shot there 2 weeks ago and they had. It even started.
