Henry Rifle Forums

Since all of my firearms are in boxes I didn’t take anything to shoot. Just as well because they were busy and had a waiting list for a lane.

I asked if I could take pictures and they said take all I want of the store but ask permission of anyone that was in the picture. Since the store was crowded I only took a couple and made an appointment for next week to take pictures of the actual range. They were aware I would be posting them online.

Everyone seemed friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a brand new building. From the size the range can’t be longer than 25 yards. This is a Henry .410 shotgun. Quality and finish was superb. Range prices seemed to be high but it is a state of the art range.

The range I visit costs me $55/yr, has 3 trap stations, pistol and rifle range (25yard - 200yard) with six shooting stations covered and a couple open. They shoot trap on the weekends during the winter and also Wednesday spring thru Fall at a per set cost of $10 I think. Everyone gets the code for the lock and you can shoot from 10am to half hour before sunset. Of course there are no reservations, it is catch as catch can but is usually empty during the week. Paper targets and clays only, no metal. I suits me pretty well as I don't have enough property for my own range.

It is just a 25 yard range.
Way too Posh and 'sterile' for me.

Note the Ferrari on the right.

Well I guess it cost some money to keep it nice!

Sir Henry...anytime you can get out to the East coast stop on by the Black Branch (creek) Range.
No fees for friends and no charge on refreshments. Targets...anything that comes to mind...paper,steel,pumpkins,whatever!

Looks to me like it would be a good place for an east coast get together Forty

This will be the location for the West Coast event!

Thats more than they charge for the new range here with 100 yard rifle range.

I don’t care about posh if the people are nice which they were.

The outdoor range I belong to is $100 a year and $25 for seniors. The shooting benches are primitive but very functional. They are also covered which is important in this area.

Ours is $165/yr but $65 refund if you help maintain the place. I did today; me a couple of guys put the big doors back on the tracks of the shooting shed that someone had pushed too hard and they came off. Each big sliding door is a couple hundred lbs and the wind today was about 60 mph. Anyhow, $100 bucks for the year and I have the range to myself most of the time. 25/50/100/200/250 yd lanes. Nice sheds, benches to shoot from if you want.

My kind of place to shoot. Some folks would not enjoy that kind of shooting but I sure would.

The woods are the 'roots' of shooting. Its what it's all about as far as I am concerned and how I grew up.

I couldn't imagine anyone not liking it. Free, natural light and targets and no RSOs!

Ojai -

You quoted Mags and my statement about my location but posted nothing else.

Did you want to add anything?

Simply eprssing interest.

Well heck ! Come on up anytime !

I like the simple primitive type shooting range and my club has several of them. Take in every thing you need and take every thing you took in back out with you. We can shoot metal spinners and other targets on our own target holders. I like the simple range we have but some guys won't shoot there because the benches don't suit them or they have to set up there own target holders and so on. I am just an old hick that grew up shooting on these kind of places we still shoot at. Simple dirt back stops at 25 -50-and a 100.

Don't have no fancy rifle racks but they work fine.

I shoot from a shelf standing put there for me because of low back pain when sitting to shoot. My old Remington even shoots Thunder Duds very well.
