I meant don't

Don't knock the owner too much, he keeps the range open because he knows there are no other places to shoot locally and he is an avid supporter of the 2nd amendment. Its not a money maker and the Marin douche bags make him jump through many hoops to keep it open.

I have met him a couple of times and he was a pretty nice guy.

Did you have a bad experience with him?

The owner is just really 'intense'. He doesnt provide for a very comfortable recreational environment when he is around. I've seen him YELL at people quite a few times. Sometimes they deserved it, but generally I think he goes overboard. It was pretty intimidating when I went there first few times.

His staff, however, is quite reasonable.

I've always wanted to try out circle s ranch. Can you see the 200 yard and 300 yard targets from prone? Looks like the 100 yard berm might block them.

[Killawhale415]

I dont think they let you shoot prone at circle s
and if they did you probably wouldnt see the 200 and 300 yard targets

[GillaFunk]

You can shoot prone, even from the cement benched area. I HATE bench shooting as its totally usless.

Seeing the 200 & 300 is seasonal and lawmower-dependant. rather, if the grass is too high and the owner spends the time to cut it.

How is Circle S right now? Got a new spotting scope and I was thinking of trying my hand at some distance but don't really feel like slogging through the mud.

Yeah like i said i really like the people who actually work it they are cool. But one of my bad/weird experience was literally he yelled someone for touching there gun when they where checking guns for people to go down range perfectly fine that's the rules. every one goes down range except me and a few other people. he actually picks up his .22 revolver and starts showing some one WHILE PEOPLE ARE DOWN RANGE. THEN HE AIMS IT DOWN RANGE.given he aimed it the pistol berm people where out beyond the berm his workers started to yell at him that people where down range put the pistol down. he looks at him like only other people have to follow the safety rules. i don't know how you feel about that but if i would have been down range i would have been F***ing pissed about him touching a gun.

Bring you rubber boots! Santa Rosa Shoes has them made in USA $19 non-steal toe

+1... it's gonna be very soggy out there for a while, especially since it's probably going to start raining again next week. Been so cold the ground around Petaluma isn't drying out at all.

What's the news?
I've been lurking this thread. Going to head out myself on the KLR. Will let you all know how it looks.

Edit: Apologize for the necro post. I felt this info might be pertinent to some.

[GillaFunk]

[Killawhale415]

Luck be with you, I havent been up there for months.
Last time I was up someone had cut the locks to the gate, didnt shoot at that spot tho.

Agreed. Seriously, who is going to take his place if he bowed out? I know he is not making real money. A lot of people in this sport can be abrasive, one thing is they need someone they trust to let them know where they are bumping heads.
