Went and shot the new 480 today along with some other favorites. The Los Alamos Sportsmens club is 10 minutes from the house. 15 rifle benches to 300 yds, Trap field, Skeet field, 5 stand indoor 20yd pistol range and 4 pistol pits. All for $150 per year. No range Nazis. All volunteer. I'm spoiled. It was great to get out but it was 22 degrees out and windy with flurries.  This is the bullseye range to 50 yds.  From the 25yd targets looking at the firing line.  Wasn't a great day for accuracy but the 480 will shoot.  |

Aw man! And just today I was sitting here in North Alabama, looking at 34 degrees and wind with no sun, thinking "You know what, I need to move to some place like New Mexico or Arizona, this cold weather is for suckers." You just ruined my dream...
I wish I had a range that close to me. Well, I guess I do, but the subdivisions surrounding it probably wouldn't like me sending lead in their direction. Nor the landowner of the property. Who I do not know...

It cant be easy to shoot your best in that weather. If that nifty little 480 needs a warmer climate or even a vacation you should let me know....

I love that 480, beautiful gun -- can barely restrain myself from ordering one -- just get a bit lazy the older we get -- new dies, new brass, new bullets, one more thing to take to the range ---- decisions, decisions, decisions. Here's a picture of our range. The first row of plate racks/popper is 25 yards -- don't know what the intermediate range is, but the far poppers (small and large) are 75 yards. Not as bad as it looks -- there's a wood burning stove in the the pistol hut, although I'm usually in and out before a fire would make any difference.  Paul |

AAAH!
A heated pistol shed. I'll have to bring that one up at the next Board meeting.
Very nice.

I shot that range many times when I worked at the labs. That range is a great deal. I really love that 480. Let me know if you ever get tired of it. I'd love to own that gun. Heck I'd even drive up and get it!
