I’m out by Silverton and would be interested in meeting some local guys to train with. PM me and let me know what I can do to help. I’ll do what I can around my work and kid schedule
The number 1 thing right now is a location. I don’t imagine alot of people, but one never knows. I checked on one place just out of Salem, but it is a NO GO. If a place for shooting is not an option, then I think that’s ok(not ideal, but ok).
I’m getting this going as a “hands on forum”.It is meant to give people the chance to see what other’s are using, and mabey even try stuff they might not otherwise get too. Not just firearms, but gear.
I will leave the training to the pro’s, for I am not.
I know it’s a long haul but Ive got about 4000/5000 acres available in Klamath Falls, Southern Oregon.
There’s a large deep red cinder pit which is where I do alot of pistol and M4, Ak stuff and lots of long range stuff, Say 1000/1200y. A semi primitive private campground, water and most importantly it’s available free of charge. Most important no people.
A weekend camp out and shoot is do-able. I shoot out here weekly and have put on vintage motocross races here.
It’s 24 miles east of Klamath Falls, between Klamath Falls and Lakeview Oregon. Out in the sticks
Just an idea. I know it’s along ways from Northern Oregon but it’s at least on the table.
while salem sounds the most likely to work for the majority, i am very intrigued at the idea of a good place to shoot and you sound like you have a pretty good setup out there, so i will bump this, know that i am interested.
Red, weather the others opt to come shoot or not, everybodies welcome to come to my place and shot. This is one of the oldest homesteads in southern Oregon.
The owners are awesome folks and have allowed me to use the land for pretty much anything legal. Let me know what your schedule looks like and plan on coming down to review the area." maybe with a AAR the rest might drive the distance.
Frankly you will be amazed with the shooting oppertunities here. If the ranch dose’t work we go to the woods where 2000 yard shots are available in the clear cuts.Uphill/Downhill Cross canyon etc etc.
I haven’t shot that far but the oppertunity is here. Give me a call if your interested.
well dirk thank you, but i am still working on getting life in order after leaving the service, but i will keep the area in mind when im ready to get out there, i will be sure to contact you before i do.
but i for one would like to see some pics of what we are talking about here.
I’d be interested in a meet up as well. I’m a member at Tri-county…we could set something up there depending on group size. We’d probably need a few members due to rules.
