The trip prior to last time I was there I was on the 2nd to last table to the left on the 100 yrd rifle range. A group of Russians, the man, his mail order bride that spoke no english and his 2 teenage kids were firing SKSs, Mosins, to AK47 going down the line of every Russian made weapon he had. I thought was actually kind of cool until he let his kids go at it withthe SKSs. The Dad was saying how his grandpa used it (Mosin I assumed) in the revolution, which I figured was the Bolshevik revolution that ousted the Czar and created the communist Soviet Union, WTF? 2 shells came back to back twanged off of my Rem700. I put it up, I was only sighting it in anyway. That's when I pulled out my AR! :wink:
Oh, no joke, I got hit with RICE in the face (safety glasses on!) from when the youngest kid shot thru the bag rest with the SKS, that's when I finally packed my stuff and left.
But me and a buddy of mine went up there early on the 4th of July and when the 2 other guys left and had the range to ourselves... we had a blast! 12 guns beween us. No better way to celebrate the 4th!
Sorry long post but was a crazy experience, haven't been back since.
