ORIGINAL: Rootsy
i open the back barn door.. slide the saw horses over, toss a piece of counter top up there and grab my chair... get the chrono situated... walk out and hang a target at the backstop... drink my coffee and admire the day... and get to shooting... all of the "necessities" are already there, ammo, guns, hearing and eye protection, bags, load books, targets, markers, etc... and if i need to tweak i walk across the shop, sit down and load up a few more.
i think most have covered everything you need for a day at the range... i generally don't have quite as much... and i only use the chrono if it is load development time...
guess i am lucky to have the setup that i do with the capability to put em out to about 1/2 a mile if i so choose...i find ranges to be a hassle more than anything anymore... way too many folk around trying to figure out what the heck they are doing and way too many are dangerous...
I hate you, Rootsy, and everybody else who can shoot from their reloading bench and walk 30 feet to check on the sports scores while waiting for the barrel to cool. AS for me, I have to drag rifles, ammo, cleaning supplies, rest, rear sandbag, MTM PMC, stapler, tape, targets, screwdrivers, chronograph, spotting scope, tripods, hearing and eye protection, water, sometimes pretzels and soda (if I am allowed to stay as long as I would like to) and usually a couple of handguns to shoot while the rifle barrels cool. But it is worth it, I just wish I had Rootsy's set up.
