A Big Thank You to Larry Gibson who drove from Lake Havasu, Echo who drove up from Tucson and NewbieDave007 who brought his family out to the Joe Foss Range.


They have a nice 200 yard Square range out there off I-85


Nice Benches and plenty of them under shade with sturdy seating.

Echo making all the bullets touch

Larry Gibson confusing the range office with his high tech rifle
And Dave having the whole family taking turns killing the Javelina


Wind came up about noon making it tough to bughole them on a moving targets.

We were told of two recommended eateries by the office lady and choose to try the
Mexican - lots of food for not too much money and big glasses for the Soda.

Left for home by 2:30 pm it's about 2 hours back to 60/202 Tempe interchange from the range.

I'm thinking next meet up at the same range as the Range Master/Officers were so nice as is the facility - they even said if we'd give them a date/time and the number of confirmed shooters they would reserve shooting lanes next to each other away from the other shooting lanes.

- I'm hoping to see more faces.

That looks like it was a good time. Only a five hour drive for me.

Larry can correct me but I think 3 hours for him - I have to get an award for person driving longest distance to these shoots. 3rd Quarter (summer) I'm planning either Flagstaff or Payson
- If you want to take a vote on it - put in your preferences on the new thread.
