Range Report: Wolf Creek, MT

[Sir Henry]

I was talking to a few locals about not being able to shoot back home and one gentleman offered to let me shoot on his place. It was a two mile 4-wheeler ride to where he often shoots.

I brought a SGC in .22 and shot 22HV shorts at about 25 yards then when back further to shoot at 50. I think all my bb shooting helped. I was far better with the Henry from the last time I shot it.

What I see looks good Gene. Hope you are having a good time over there.

Gene, you are already making inroads with some locals. You are certainly going in the right direction. Good for you!

[Ernie]

Sounds like you are moving right along. Hope everything works out all right.

That's a very encouraging sign, finding a local who will let you shoot. Glad all that BB gun shooting is paying off. Keep it up.

Sounds like you are on the way to a great place to live. Now have you checked out any area gun supply shops?

I was talking to a lot of people about moving to Montana from the Seattle area. As soon as I mentioned the political party that I belonged too they welcomed me. People were telling me of all the places the locals shot.

Hunting is a different story. You have to pay to hunt on private land. Especially if you are not a resident.

I was getting into the habit of rushing shots because I wasn’t shooting enough. As soon as I didn’t make a big production of “going to the range” I was more relaxed. With the relaxation shooting became more natural like it had been most of my life.

Wolf creek only has a ma & pa general store, a tavern, and a newly opened ice cream stand for the summer. Craig the next small town is a little bigger and they have a dozen fly fishing shops. You have to go to Great Falls or Helena for most things.

I’m going to make a separate post about real estate after I get some sleep.
