I bought my non-1LE ZL1 there. Walked in and they sent me out the door with it as a "test drive for the rest of the day" with the car lol. I knew I was going to buy it already, though.

Old 40gb Maxtor I shot in 2003. Stopped a .40 cal WWB round, but to be fair, if the hard drive had been secured to something vs sitting upright on a table, it probably would have done much more damage.

Now that’s impressive!
Two ZL1 1LE’s!
I’m probably going to get a ZL1 1LE with the 10L90 in a year or so.
I am seeing low-mileage 2018s sell for UNDER 60k already.
Domestic supercar or not, the Camaro deprecation is still rampant.

You guys should go check out my buddies Denman at the Basement East tonight. Young guys who are EXCELLENT and play original 80s thrash metal.

I guess I am at the point in life where if it's not a 1911, it'll either be Glock, Sig, or HK for a semi-auto handgun. There are SO many one-offs coming from manufacturers now. Parts aren't easy to come by, and extra mags are very expensive. I just don't need any of them.
A Mossberg semi-auto pistol seems like the five-assed monkey of the handgun world.

And, there we have it. Thanks guys.

As seen on local news outlets this morning, the state senate voted 28-1 to advance this to the state House. Basically, the law removes some language that essentially bans suppressors from Tennessee code (even though it's perfectly-legal to go through the ATF, pay your tax, get your suppressor, and possess it here).
https://openstates.org/tn/bills/110/HB11/
If it gets all the way to the point where it is a law, am I wrong in thinking this bill is anything but symbolic based on the fact that a suppressor is still an NFA item, regardless of what a state says?
Don't get me wrong: I'm glad this is happening. It's a great gesture, but will anything be changed regarding how suppressors are bought and sold in the state of Tennessee? I doubt it.
Thoughts?

I had this since new (Oct 96), but just got tired of it. I got rid of it a couple weeks ago. With Goodyear skaterbacks (245's), it ran (2.04 60ft) 8.7 in the 1/8 and 13.5 in the 1/4 with a aluminum block PI swap and bolt-ons.
Haha. I now work where that photo was taken

I may make an unwrapping video where I take the plastic off the book, and then perform a dramatic reading of the Table of Contents and Preface!

Welp, lock the thread.

This arrived today. I didn't order it. Still, I'll check it out. Just wondering what the deal is. I haven't ordered THAT much stuff from MidwayUSA.

Does anyone know, can you just go out there and sign up or do you have to schedule it for one of their pre-defined days. I would prefer to go in the middle of the week when it is less busy and not have to go at a specific time.
You'll need to go during one of the registration/safety orientation times: http://www.strategicedge.us/gun-range/calendar

When i joined last weekend, we were allowed to shoot after we'd paid and went through the safety orientation that same day even though we had not been officially vetted and had our credentials yet. You just need to grab a guest pass.
-
Guest policy is:
- $15 per guest per visit (each guest max 2 visits per year)
- Guest must sign a waiver
- Member cannot be shooting while guest is shooting and is responsible for the guest knowing and following range safety rules.
The range is open to members 24/7, but the general range shooting times are from dawn to dusk. During winter months, the pistol range will be open untill 8:30PM.
I'm fine with that guest policy. Guests can be dangerous. Hence why I do not use public ranges anymore.

I've limited any gun transaction outside of a gun shop to friends and TGO members who have a good trader rating.

I just joined. This place is TOP NOTCH.

First and foremost, they are VERY safety oriented, as you'd expect most ranges to be. Still, they go above and beyond here without being Nazis about it. Kind of a "use your damn head and common sense" approach, but with rules very explicitly laid out.
- 1250 yard range with 1500 and 1700 yards on the way. Cameras at some of the longer distances and TV monitors under the shed
- State of the art timed/manual RANGE HOT/RANGE COLD system
- Golf carts for your use
- Use of chronographs, sandbags, shot clocks, spotting scopes, and other equipment that many shooters don't own but would like to use periodically available to use free of charge
- Large selection of targets available for purchase. The range provides staplers for you to use.
- Three very nice pistol/short rifle pits that go back to 75 yards
- Plenty of shooting benches
- Large area for .22 LR
- Really nice clubhouse/classroom with a bathroom and running water (aka not Portajons)
- Automated Five Stand shotgun area ($10 per round of 25 clays)
- Steel at various distances on the rifle range
- Steel at the pistol pits (absolutely NO shooting of pistol steel with rifles, and no shooting steel with pistols closer than 10 yards)
- Common firing line extends throughout the range
- Very high berms between pits and very high backstops. Each exceeds NRA standards for height (I'm surprised the bulldozers didn't flip over when they were being built)
- Two low-light training lanes
- Secure gate system - you get a unique code to both it and a another unique code to enter the clubhouse/office/classroom
- Drink machine on site as well as fridges inside. Snacks/water/Kuerig coffee available for purchase.
- Ammo available for purchase
- Well-groomed parking lot
- Two archery ranges: Static and 3D
I'm forgetting a few things, but I feel very fortunate to have this range an hour from my house. I think you have to drive a few hundred miles to even get anywhere close to what Strategic Edge offers.
You can shoot anywhere on the range as soon as you sign up for membership and complete the safety orientation, except for the long-range rifle area. In order to shoot past 500 yards, you must complete a 3.5 hour long-range rifle class that is free of charge.
Membership is $150 + $50 joining fee. Those living more than 75 miles away are offered a $75 membership. Membership renewal is done on July 1, and rates are pro-rated quarterly if you're joining
If you're looking for a place to shoot, you should join. Even if you don't shoot often or even think you might be interested in long-distance shooting, I'd go ahead and sign up because membership will fill up, and then you'll be placed on a waiting list. Those suck.
I've been a member at Gallatin Gun Club since 2006, and I'll keep that membership as well because it's half the distance from my house. I'm mainly after a place to stretch my .300 Win Mag model 700 5R out a bit, and that's why I joined.
Check the range out. You will not be disappointed.
