    Stapler, but others are great at letting people that would forget theirs(ME). Paper targets of whatever you want. Spotting scope if needed for the 50 or 100yrd to spot your shots. Something to drink. Just pretty much what you'd need. I get there about 9central.. my time. Range is on easter time.
    Where you coming from??

    So not sure we will make it our schedule is forever changing. But what do I need to bring? Stapler? Clothespins ? Not sure never been to this range. And I just saw today it’s an hour drive for some reason I thought I was closer. What time typically do you guys get there ?
    Staple gun for hanging targets but if you forget most of us have 1 to be utilized. It's an hour drive for most of plus the hour time change.

    Some get there when the range opens. I dont. Me and the teen will be there there around 11am Winamac time (est)

    I plan on bringing a pot of chili

    Just took the kid down to my gun room and he can finally shoulder the youth Marlin now. Asked him of he wanted to go and he said yes.
    So there will be a party of 2 attending from Porter.

    (Unless Dad's recovery form hip surgery throws a monkey wrench in the plans...which shouldn't be an issue.)

    I don't see anything pressing on the calender so a go it is.
    My toughest part is getting up early and going to fast time after working afternoons my entire life.
    I have a plan to load most things into the truck the day before except the guns. Still deciding what
    to bring.

    As stated, stapler although there are usually some willing to share including myself.
    We'll be bringing water and Gatorade, but I'd recommend something you'd enjoy as well. Looks like we'll have food this time so one less thing to worry about.

    Just ignore the fast time for when you want to get there. I'll get there about 9 which is 10 fast time.

    Normally pretty busy?? Do we have a secret handshake? :laugh:
    All depends on weather and as the day goes on.

    We post up at the 25 yard area and usually take up all the lanes. As other people start showing up we move over to accommodate. Also some go to other distances but usually come by the 25 yard area.

    The 25 yard area is the furtherest south, or when looking at the range, the furtherest to the right.

    We should be there around 9am, with the time change, to set up our chairs to relax and talk the day away, lol.
