Back in BHam!!!
Ok, there seems to be a lot of shooters around the Birmingham area. We need to link up and organize. The Norcal and AZ boys benefit from shooting a lot together, we need to figure out a good way to link up on a regular basis.

Team?
Club?

Ideas????

Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

Unless someone has access to some private land that we can build our own range on, membership at Steel City will prolly be a must.

$240/yr, not bad, and it's a nice range.

If we could get enough people together, we could possibly lease a little bit...
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

From what I hear from my buddy Ian, they are building a range in the Auburn/Opelika area that is rumored go extend to distances out to 1000 yards.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

I'm thinking somewhere just south of Bham would be nice, that way it's centrally located in the state. Then it would be evenly accessible to folks in south and north Alabama.

If we decide to lease a bit, we could put on our own matches, and I have a connection in the steel biz to get it set up with targets.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

This is the best you rednecks can come up with??? Let's figure this out! There's lots of us here, lets make sumthin' happen!

What retard suggested this idea?

But I'm all in. I already have one steel order in for plates and spinners so we can have 1 and 1/2 moa steel targets at almost every distance at steel city. I will have more inbound after we have taken what I have to the range and decided on further functional needs. Also have some targets made up for dot drills at 200 and 300.

I will call and ask him who it is. Get back to you on this later today.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

im in. i also have a pretty good hookup on steel etc.

possibly have access to some land capable of stretching out to 1000ids. i just have to make some inquiries about using it and what would be expected from the people that use it.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

I live just outside Tallassee Al. and have built a 200 yard rifle,police pistol range next to my house on my land. If interested give me a PM. The local poloice dept, use it now to qualify. Best of all the folks that live around me like to shoot too.

Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

If any of you alabama shooters want to jump in, I have entered the ohio sniper match in early April. I am signed up for Sunday, but you can sign up for either Saturday or Sunday. The information is in the tactical competition thread.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

I'm actually from the Huntsville area but it looks like it's gonna be a pretty good drive to get to a spot with any kind of range anyways so count me in.

Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

maybe not exactly whats intended but looks like steel city hosts long range shoots twice a month. might be a place to start.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

Steel City is great. I just wish I could actually join.

I've had my paperwork in for a couple weeks now, haven't heard anything back.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

JRose,

Why wish just join! Or just come on out to the matches they are open to the public. You can shoot any of the matches without be a member.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

I'm trying to join. Have my paperwork in, just waiting on the next step.

I've shot matches there in the past, but I work a lot and just need a place to go shoot when I'm off work.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

waiting on my card so i can join as well. just need to get some people together. getting the ball rolling is always the hardest part.

wasnt expecting it to happen by next week, it will get there. wait for a few more memberships to happen. get some groups out there a few times with lots of steel and other targets to shoot. people will start realizing how much this can help personal and local shooting progression and just flat out make it more enjoyable.

Ha!
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

OK, I was shooting matches there 2-3 times a month before I became a member. I guess it just rolled along quicker cause I was not waiting for anything, cause I did all the stuff at the matches and orientation right after a match one afternoon.
 
Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

I shoot out to 1000 yards when ever I want,Kinda get's old when you can do it 7 days a week..

Jason,maybe if you "suck up" and walk the line they will let you in at SteelCity ?
you can come shoot up here if you bring wallmart Black and white to paint the hits..
All you need to do is prove you where born in the south,No other quality checks.
Your eather in or out

Re: BIRMINGHAM AREA ROLL CALL!

Thinking about it, I have a large pile of 2x4's and plywood I need to do something with before it ruins. I may be able to bring it your way this weekend if your schedule is open? It would be great for cutting out silouettes and such for use as a "friendly" and put a steel plate to the side. Or whatever. Let me know what your upcoming weekend plans are for this one or the ones to come. T
