Hey fellas,
I am a long time coastie (Newport) and have become spoiled with my local range. We have a Rifle range out to 550 yards with steel targets every 50, and a nice pistol range.
I am however taking a job opportunity that will place me in Beaverton and shooting locations there seem dismal. Douglas ridge is my only hope!
I am a handloader and dedicated long range shooter, and I do alot of 100-200 yard load development, 550 target shooting, and banging steel targets. I shoot 1000-1200 yards once a month or so. That's the type of shooting I enjoy most.
Douglas ridge seems like a good choice but as I understand it, we only get to 200 yards most days and long range on Thursdays.
My questions are: do they have steel targets on the 200 yard range? If not will they allow our own? Or are we only allowed to shoot paper?
What's the long range Thursdays like? Is it formal or pretty casual?
I like to shoot with other people but I also like shooting on my own, and doing my own thing.
So is Douglas ridge worth the money for a serious shooter?
Thanks guys!
