Bloom Lake Rifle Range 2007
It's Finally Open





We finally got the range set up. We gathered some broken appliances, electronics, and some porcelain to shoot. We stepped off about 200 yards. We're shooting off-hand with open sights with World War II surplus guns. This is going to be a challenge!

The TV is in there if you look close, the light spot about in the center of the frame

A close up of the picture above.

We found a scrap of 1/4" steel plate and set that up as a target. A shelf from the refrigerator caps it off nicely.
Matt and Ryan take a crack at the targets, while Mike check the spotting scope for hits.

Nice blasting boys.

Notice how the full metal jacket surplus ammo we have is pounding right through the 1/4" steel plate!

Matt scores the first hit to the TV tube glass.

Ouch, Exit wounds! what a mess!
The boys gather an old cracked toilet left over from Lake Sapphire to poke some holes in.

The next day we tried our hand at shooting some clay pigeons. We're using my Remington 1100 autoloader. It's heavy, but shoots nice.

Here Ryan, Mike, and Matt get to hear the range rules.

Mike takes a crack at a high flier.

Ryan gets ready
Matt's turn

We fired about 150 shells, and everybody did better than I expected.
