Shooting thismorning.

[CharlesAFerg]

You Beaverton guys need to come kick it for some trigger time.

 

[AOTAC]

Are you offering free lessons Charles?

 

[CharlesAFerg]

Are you offering free lessons Charles?

I'm not willing to be a teacher, but I'm sure others who would show up would be more than willing to give you pointers. What are you looking to learn?

I'm offering practice. Just bring transportation, ammunition, and professionalism.

Where, now?:huh:

 

[Kennedy]

I thought that they closed the Browns Camp area! Is this another spot? Other than the Quarry that is.

 

[wakeadrian]

It recently reopened!

We also have another spot up there that we go to, to get away from other people, which is where a few of the pictures were taken.

 

[Kennedy]

Sweet! I have been driving almost to Vernonia (Mars). This will make it oh so much less of a trip. I need to put some more rounds through my Bushy!

 

[wakeadrian]

It's also much more open, in the pit area. I'd suggest making a target stand and bringing it, rather than using the rock piles like you could before.

I hope it doesn't get too filthy, too soon.

I'd say I've got a lot to learn to get my accuracy up. For starters, I'm not sure if my form is even correct. Do you have land that you shoot at or meet in a predetermined location Charles?

I've been to browns camp a few times over the years but I've never shot there. The one time it was open, we left after seeing a 10 year old handling a handgun as if it were a squirtgun. After he inadvertently swept us with the thing (and several others in the first few minutes) I figured it'd be best to leave. The adults with him just stood by. I guess that's what they call Darwinism.

 

[Kennedy]

Yeah thats why it was also nicknamed "Clowns Camp" because you would more likely than not run into a bunch of clowns.
The last few times I have been there, I just parked the car and watched the other people for any blatant idiocy. If none was noticeable then I would get out and do my thing.

Finally..

Is 4WD required to arrive at the shooting location?
I haven't been there for a while, but you all probably remember this sign..

Sounds familiar..
Keep it professional, and you will stay safe. People I shoot with will abide by the strictest safety regulations, because they won't be along for long if they can't handle that.

Yes, usually predetermined if I get a group together. Otherwise, I just bring some friends and they supply ammunition.

Unfortunately, you're right...
