I think last year's dues were $450

Who else is doing long range in the west valley of Phoenix? I've been going to Cow Town mostly by myself!

I woke up this morning thinking about what I did yesterday. I do not consider myself a rifleman, I had trouble qualifying with the M-14 in boot camp. I’m truly amazed at the quality of the rifles and ammo being manufactured today. I’m 72 years old with AFib and I shot a dime sized group off a...

Realistically and at my age I probably won't be shooting past 500 yards. I still want to try!

I went back to my local range this morning. we only have 100yrds available. Was calm enough to get this .54 MOA 5 shot group before it started to blow. Shoots approx 1-1/4" high at 100yrds. from the setting I got yesterday at 200yrds, nicely centered though. Never owned a factory rifle with...

I did but it got to windy to double check my zero. I'll go back out in a few days.

I would probable have trouble eating one because they look just like my own dogs! But then I did eat my pet bull when I was younger?

Thanks all for the advice. I got all my component together yesterday afternoon so I headed to the range this morning. First two shots were touching each other at 100 yards and close to the center so I moved quickly to two hundred yards. First five looked like this. Then the wind picked up...

I’ll be taking my Ruger Model 18054 6.5 Creedmoor to the range later this week. This is my first experience with a rifle with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail. I using a vortex viper pst 6-24x50 ffp riflescope ebr-2c (mrad) mounted with Vortex 30mm Precision Matched Rings - 1.45". I’ll be using Hornady...

I just submitted my application for membership at Cowtown AZ and will have my orientation soon. I hope to use the long-range facilities with my new 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle. Long range shooting would seem to me to be hard to do alone, so I will need some help. Maybe I can tag alone with...

Roger that! Roger That!

Will do!

Great advice, already have the slider. Think I'll get the Vortex 1.45 in. high rings.

I let my CCW expire a few year ago. Should have my new rifle and membership in a week or two.
