Title: At the FT range
Post by: Scotchmo on April 23, 2020, 05:20:39 PM
It's been a while since we had an FT match at our local range. Maintenance has been lacking, so I decided to go out and reclaim the FT course before it was completely lost. I got through lanes 1-8 on Tuesday. I'll do the rest on the next trip out there.

You are right..
I wonder how much revenue the state is losing having the 175 casinos closed?
How about the loss of gasoline tax?
Bridge tolls?
Billions!

That is one *(&^ of a mower to hack through that stuff. The little mower that could!!

That's one heck of a lot of work, hopefully it will pay off sooner than later. Looks like access to ranges is starting to thaw!

I think that it's possible to maintain the 360 caliber length social distance, you do use 20 cal right?

If you aren't on a well water get some pool salt. Sprinkle it liberally in the lanes right before it's going to rain. It will keep the Lanes free of any growth. You should be able to get it at a supermarket like Stater Bros. That's where I used to buy it when I lived in Kali. I think it was around 7 or $8 for 40lbs. It was good for about a year where I use to live.
