Fourth of July Shoot 'em Up

**Mike.357** · 06-29-2009, 09:12 PM

I am going to Norris this Saturday. I want to get an annual pass and a key to the gate to the Norris range. ( believe it is 30 bucks for the annual or 15 bucks for a daily pass)

Any and all of you are welcome to join me.

I am pretty sure OhShoot will be coming with me, and I have personally invited 4 or 5 others.

I am thinking 11 am or 12pm, meet at the range.

Be there or be square!

come help me crater SUNTZU'S spinner target.

I won't be able to make it, but.... Where is the range there? I was not aware of one.

**Mike.357** · 06-30-2009, 10:51 AM

It is Norris somehwere. I have been once but OhShoot made me ride blindfolded. So obviously I do not know where it is actually.

OK, I did not ride blindfolded, but I still do not know where it is other than it is in Norris, about 10 minutes away from the police station. I know how to get to there. And they will direct me to the range I am sure.

Only been there once but it seemed okay. They have a target stand at 200 yards, 100 yards and a pistol area off to the side. Shooting benches are concrete and are covered. Ample parking. I believe at 30 bucks a year it is worthwhile. Heck I choose to pay to shoot it must be a fair deal, since I can walk out my front door and blast away if I want to.

I understand being the 4th people already will have plans. I am not epxecting much if any of a turnout.

I have no life, and am going regardless.

It is 30 dollars a year and it is a great lil place to hang out!

I recently got off the phone with the Norris PD. I was calling to make sure a pass could be purchased on Saturday.

I was advised of the following.

A pass can be purchased Saturday at the Norris police station, but accessing the building itself to buy the pass may be difficult. The Norris community has a 4th of July street party Saturday that runs from 7 am until 11 pm. (I am guessing the party is on the street that leads to the police station.)

They start selling passes tomorrow for the new year (Their year runs from july through june).

I am going to run up there either tomorrow morning or Friday afternoon to get my pass and key.

Just keeping you all up to date.

Woohoo, must be a heck of a party, with all 10 residents of Norris showing up...

If I make it can we shoot bottle-rockets out of your Mosin?

**FroggyOne2** · 06-30-2009, 07:00 PM

What time are you planning on going to the range?

**c.a.s.** · 06-30-2009, 07:28 PM

I would love to go and make loud with everyone, but my family is coming down for the 4th and we are going to also make loud, though not as big loud (fireworks).

Maybe I can get my grandfather to nostalgically try out the Carbine for once.
And we're making homemade ice cream.
