Presently living in Queen Creek/San Tan Valley, AZ.
When I shoot(much too infrequently), I shoot either at the Rio Salado Sportsman's Club, or if it's early enough and cool enough I will go to the desert near Queen Valley(I finally found a spot where the deputies don't bother me).

How is Red's?
I drove by it once or twice the other weekend.

Once he got a shave and haircut he didn't look quite so much like Charles Manson, but if you let him, he'd talk your ear off about the End Times (which he predicted repeatedly), Biblical holidays that nobody else heard of, the coven of witches and satanists living on a nearby hill, the druids in the caves, the numerous failings of Orientals, blacks, Jews, and everyone else, and of course the 47 pounds of plutonium "they" put on Jupiter . . . and of course we all know why they did that.

Bothell, WA
On the sadly infrequent occasions I get out it's usually to a bit of public land in Snoqualmie Pass. Would very much like to find a decent range in Snohomish county though.
-

Typical indoor range - about 8 lanes, zero to 100 yards, no holster work or "rapid fire." (I've shot pretty quick when the range wasn't crowded, but since the guy saw I was getting all hits, he didn't harass me.)

Hey Wacki, I've been at MCFG for about 5 years, used to do the silhouette and bowling pin shoots regularly. Not so much this year as it's been a busy year for me. What about you, do any of the events there?

So actually his name should be Bat *expletive deleted*it Crazy Richard.

SE Ohio (as of this weekend)
Back yard and will have my first match with Ashland Gun Club in 2 weeks.
Pharma, Jamis & Seeker - sounds like a South Texas meet-up is in order!
Side note: Don't know if it would be of interest but I used to work for a NFP org with a fairly large membership. They had a map on their website that allowed members to enter their general area as a thumb tack of sorts. Allowed members to identify others near them. Was nice to be able to contact those nearby and get together if desired. And of course it was voluntary - if someone wanted to be left alone (like Fisty) they just didn't participate. If I recall it was some sort of free Google app. Just a thought.

They just call him Bat*bleep* Ricky.

Edit:
And of course it was voluntary - if someone wanted to be left alone was making an enemies list (like Fisty) they just didn't participate. kept reading and plotting.

I understand being busy. I'm working 50-60 hour work weeks and doing the night time MBA thing. :-p
Haven't done any events there. I may change that though. I have half a dozen metal gongs I take to the range on the occasional weekend and blow through 500 .22 LR thorugh my Spikes Tactical AR15 and a few hundred of other various pistol calibers. I love hearing that ping sound. Instant gratification.
Next time you go to an event feel free to PM me and I'll see if I'm free. Just try to give me some advance warning as the gf like to plan everything out.

Sounds good. Don't know when I'll make it to another event, between work and my impending wedding in May I've been pretty busy. Most of my downtime gets spent wrenching on stuff around the house. Plus it seems like every time I run into a board member they want me to fix a door or the gate.
I do regularly stop by on my way home from work and put a few magazines thru my Sig p226. Sometimes the fiance joins me and we'll burn up a brick of .22 pretty easy. Shes slowly becoming a pretty decent shot. I've got some spinner targets and we also give that poor ol gong at 50 yards a good work out.
Our house is literally 5 minutes from the range, so drop me a pm one of these times you go and if I'm not otherwise occupied I can swing over there pretty easy. Otherwise just keep an eye out for the guy pinging the heck out of the gongs or some spinners with various handguns(i love that sound too) and wearing translucent green electronic muffs.
