North Fork Wolf Creek Recreational Shooting Lanes

[Lasers]

Early Monday is looking like the day I can make it up there, too. Going to try to be up on lane 2 by 9am to plant some range markers.

I can be there at 9.
I'll bring my shovel. You have long enough tape?

I can dig up a 100ft. Long enough for lane 2, but it won't be when we do the rest later on.

Photo of the range markers we'll be laying down in Lane 2 tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed they survive for a while.

I figured we could put them down every five yards for the short lanes, and every 10 yards for the longer lanes. I'm not sure if Lane 2 has room for the 30-yard marker without going up onto the berm, so we'll skip it if it doesn't fit.

Wow! Much nicer than I imagined! Way to go!

Ya, not on the berm. We're trying to keep them off that part.

Wife and I are planning to be out there tomorrow at some point as well. I'll come on here and check if anyone is still there before we leave, might bring a grill and some food/coffee.

Got to Lane 2 this morning a little early with a couple of friends in tow this morning. Lane was occupied by a forum member who knew we were coming, so he very graciously took a break to let us get in there and lay the range markers down. He told me his actual name, but I did not catch his forum name. Anyway, thanks for holding the lane for us, good sir.

Pic is attached showing the brick placement. We tried to be quick, so they may need a little more packing in as time goes on. The 25yd marker is in the mud a few feet in front of the backstop, so we did not leave the 30yd marker. Quick edit: we measured range for each brick from the shooter side of the jersey barriers. The center of the arrow on each brick should be within 2 inches of the stated range from that spot.

Headed up to the long distance site after that for a couple of hours. Thanks all for your guidance in finding that spot. Definitely sign me up when it comes time to pull volunteers to develop it. Packed out a little extra garbage today, as usual. Things were looking okay, though.

 

[OldTengu]

Regrettably, I wasn't able to get out there. Hope all went well for all present.

Those markers look terrific! Thanks for making that happen.

If those don't last there consider putting them on the sides in the dirt just 3' or so up from the bottom.

You can come paint my house number on my curb any time. Nice job.

Hehe, yeah. I have access to a vinyl cutter that I mostly use for making smart-assed t-shirts and signs for work. It does backup duty as my spray paint mask maker so that I can get results like this without too much hassle.

I was on lane 2 when you & your friends dropped in. It was a good time to take a break and gave me a chance to pickup some more of the shot shells laying about. The markers look great and are easy to see. Great contribution! Glad you found the spot up the road too

Glad to meet you... again.

I liked your tarp setup. I've been doing it the hard way, either picking up shells afterwards or putting a cantankerous brass catcher on my rifle. I went out and tarp that afternoon.

I'm glad I decided to bypass the lanes and go up the road to Bryan's favorite spot. Had it to myself for over three hours. Beautiful morning to get out to 100 yards.

Hey where is this up the road spot ? I still have a Scope to sight in.

How valuable is a brick? You know, the kind made with concrete and embeded in the ground? I suppose it's more valuable if it has numbers and an arrow painted on it.

Well, apparently, someone thinks they are valuable. Only 2 bricks remain at lane 2. PUNKS!

So let us know if you happen to notice a brick with a number and an arrow on it in someones yard. I'd like to go kick some tail!

Well, that didn't take long. I'm making up drawing for version 2 now. A somewhat larger hole to imbed a 60lb trapezoidal block, with the small face up. Should be cheap to make, at a single bag of concrete each. Hopefully they'll take more force to get out of the ground than your average jerk is willing to muster. I'll run some sketches by you and @Reno911 to get the blessing from the powers that be before I build a casting form.
