at the large bore, you have 100, 200 & 300 yards there is a 50 [ or 25 i dont remember exactly] yard single target [IIRC], next to where the RO's congregate [where they usually sit play video games, smoke cigar etc...] right in the middle. I used it once. you can request the RO to use that to...

Went hiking yesterday @ Black Rock Brook, Mount Misery, and Whitehorse Mountain Loop [north of harriman state park]. Went early. By 9 AM parking lot was full. Main road areas where hikers park on the side of the road were empty. we completed hiking a 5 mile trail, headed back around 12:30 pm...

Thanks, will definitely try friday next time.

Thanks all. I go to blue mountain. its cheap and outdoors. noticed, large bore folk are not very friendly. [depends on the day i guess] small bore, trap and skeet are good.

hello from westchester. took NRA's Basic Rifle Shooting Course and Shotgun Course (last year). was very helpful [for someone like me who had zero exposure to firearms]. pretty much lone wolfing it to range when ever i get some time. [tough to find time with work schedule] Bit intimidating with...

thanks for the encouragement. i usually wear prescription glasses and see well in them. but for outdoor activities i wear contacts. for snowboarding, riding bikes and any other outdoor activities contact lens are great. but i find it to be a minor problem, when shooting, the dot looks blurry...

I have a m1a scout squad. i like it and i am a total n00b and my first gun. shot less than may be 200 rounds. [I have no reference to comparison as this is my only rifle. and there are way better guns out there and not qualified to compare] this is what i shot at 100 yards this past weekend...

Nice gun. I have a m1a scout squad with walnut stock. not sure where you live but Blue Mountain Sportsman Center (Westchester county near peekskill) is still open. i was there last weekend, bit crowded than usual [with covid-19, guess all the n00b's are out to the range and testing with their guns]
