Range Day 6-25-10

[Cris]

So, since Guntech was closed this week a few of us decided to get together and do a range day. Myself and C3PO and 5 officers one of them being one our own members, Brooklynbaconup headed up for Okeechobee Shooting Sports in Indiantown. Lets just say the long trip was well worth it. They have a great set up along with very friendly people working there. The place is huge with multiple ranges, from pistol and rifle range 100-200 yard long gun range, with the optional 500 yarder only done on certain times of the month. They also have rapid fire and tactical ranges. We opted to go to the rapid fire range since a few people brought full autos.

As we pulled up the range I noticed Atlantis PD car and recognized it right away. It was a friend of ours Raja who happens to frequent the shop. Working on all their burst/full auto AR-15's....oh yeah we got to shoot them. It finally paid off to work on their guns as they gave us open invites to have live testing while worked out some of the quirks.

I will say this for OK Shooting Sports, you didn't feel at all like you were around range nazi's. It was just a group of guys be able to shoot their guns the way they were designed to be shot. We were able to call our own cease fires. We were also allowed to move the weapons from the set up table to be able to shoot standing away from the other shooters. I believe our range officers name was Rob, who was a very down to earth guy that helped out a few shooters in their shooting techniques. From what I gathered Rob was also retired law enforcement.

I have plenty of pics so enjoy, no shots of me since this was from my camera. I will have to check with the other guy with us to see what he captured. First couple of shots are SS1 (C3PO and Brooklynbacon)

so cool!

my 3 yr old loves the yellow camaro...BUMBLE BEE!!!

[Cris]

That's a wanna be Bumblebee. No Autobot tags, its disgusts me every time I think about it. Plus that is the only way I could justify driving a yellow car.

[M@D-M@X]

Wow! you guys look like you had a blast...

That M11-9 looks just like one I had years ago but to tell the truth, out of thousands of rounds that I shot thru it I never tried aiming with it.

[Vertical]

That range seems pretty awesome, I'm glad you guys got to enjoy yourselves in a laid back yet responsible atmosphere.

[anthony20031]

Awesome...is that a bipod also on Phil's AR? How much does that gun way in at?

[Satan_3pc]

Man Brooklyn could be Secpros cousin.



jking.

Nope. It was Atlantis PD's selectfire AR. As Cris said, I was doing a function test. They had about ten of them there all set up exactly the same with only a couple that was properly operating in burst mode.

Dejavu all over again. Yellow cars are cool. Metalic tan colored vehicles = old folk's car.

[Secpro]

My penis is overly aroused. Ah, gun porn! Okay I'm good now. Good to see Bacon chops is also an XD fan.

[Secpro]

Man Brooklyn could be Secpros cousin.



jking.

You leave us round people alone dammit. As long as we shoot straight we're good to go. Just don't make us run or you'll regret it when we catch you! :)

[Cris]

Brooklynbacon was shooting his Glock 22. I forget the other BSO guy's name that was shooting his XD45.

That's right he had the OD tactical pants on, my bad.

[JaxChris]

Cris, whenever I can finally get down there again, that is where we are going. Got it? =)

[Cris]

I'm all for going to this place again, it was a great day.

[Satan_3pc]

Yeah, I want to go to an outdoor range too. I've heard a lot of guys say they like the outdoor ranges better. Better sight lighting and open air.

[ss1]

Not sure how to change the link at the header of this forum, but they updated their site to this link with proper derections, etc. If an admin can update, thanks.

Simply loved this range..so rare you get to go to a place and actually work on your skill sets..most places, you're making sure no one is pointing anything at you!!

[Cris]

Even with all the moving around their was a lot of control being shown by everyone there. At no point did I feel threatened like most ranges.

[Satan_3pc]

lol some idiot kid accidentally let his rifle muzzle point right at me at this shitty range up here and the range officer nearly kicked him out.

[JaxChris]

Which one was that?

[Vertical]

Nearly? I'd have hoped that he was taught a lesson

[Satan_3pc]

He should have been kicked out, yes.

[anthony20031]

Yes I know this is an old post but I've heard rumors that the range is trying to expand and include a 1,000 yd range :)

[Cris]

Yes, we were told it is in the works from when we went up there a few weeks ago.

[ss1]

I think I need to get a stick that can reach out that far.

[spikes40]

phil... i think you need a Barrett .50 BMG

[JaxChris]

Phil isn't big enough to carry a Barrett. lol

[anthony20031]

LOL a .308 will make it :)
