Battle in the Blue Grass

[Gunworks]

I just noticed that Gary, but once threw was enough punishment not to mention I dont think I would have had enough ammo to finish the match if I had to reshoot it.

[Gary Stevens]

Point taken:D

[MRB]

The chair thing was wrong, and I was never consulted on that one.

Actually, Robert you should have had a reshoot also, since a forward falling popper actually fell backwards. That has to be a range equipment failure. I granted Alex Lyons a reshoot for the exact same thing. Although his reshoot took about 10-12 seconds longer than the first one.

Gary

BTW-do those guys have any NORMAL poppers?

[Gary Stevens]

The forward falling are strongly encouraged at BGSL to insure rounds don't leave the range.

I suspect you will see more and more off them as urban sprawl continues.

Hell, even our range is getting surrounded.

[MRB]

I did not know that.

Slick set-up on their forward fallers, though.

[Bigfoot]

Is that the same reason for the concrete bays with baffles?

That was super-weird to shoot in the first time.

[Gary Stevens]

Yep. They allegedly had a round get out of the rifle range and hit a house, that happened to be for sale, and ever since they are really up tight about any rounds leaving the range.

[Bigfoot]

As damned far out of the way that place is........while possible, not believable.

It will only be a matter of time before some place get so anal about it that steel will be prohibited!

[Chillywig]

One thing about those forward fallers is I was shooting 122pf ammo at them all day and the only time I double tapped one was because I was trigger happy and trying to get rid of all that bull $**t remington ammo.........

[Gary Stevens]

With the rear falling poppers the danger comes with two or three shots on the popper "driving" it down faster. As the popper falls the angle changes and the second and third shot may be directed up and to the rear, thereby possibly leaving the range. Of course this all depends on where your range is located, etc., etc.
