Wow, looks like a great time there guys. I really have to reconsider our travel plans. Perhaps a side trip into cali should be a definite option..... I'm limited in what part of my collection I bring. How is cali on a M1 Garand? I know my carbine has an evil bayonet lug on it.

The state of California still considers the M1 Garand a curio and relick so you can bring them in.

I am not sure on the M1 Carbine but I though you could still buy them here, maybe not though.

M1 Carbines are still legal...for now. I have one and will have to bring it next time.

That would be sweet, I have never shot a carbine.

GTO,

They really aren't much different from shooting a Ruger 10-22 except for sound. The carbine can be LOUD depending on loads. Really a very fun gun to shoot depending on ammo costs just like the RUGER MINI 14. I don't reload right now as it's way too much stuff to carry in the rig. I just have to choose carefully as I get to the storage location only once a year and can't carry too many in the trailer. They take up too darn much room and I don't consider the trailer to be all that secure. Our pug isn't very fierce either.

It was FUN guys. My shoulder's only a bit sore from all the shooting

Nice to know the 120 year old 45-70 still shoots better than I can. Highlights include shooting Funky's M1, Russian's SKS and Grun's HK 45.

I just bought a kel-tec su-16ca, starting the 10 day waiting list today. I'll be going to the Los Altos (http://www.losaltosrodandgunclub.com) range in 2 weeks to test it out. Anyone wanna go? The spot looks cool, and they have some "tin can" ranges. It's an awesome motorcycle ride, anyone have any info on carrying guns on motorcycles? Looks like as long as it's in a locked box it's ok?

g00b, I'll be picking up my SU16-CA on the 27th. I'll gladly join you at the Los Altos range; it's the one I normally go to. I'm looking forward to firing the Su-16. I just ordered a Burris Fullfield 2 Scope 3x9 scope for it.

I'm waffling on putting a scope on it. I have a couple lying around. I'll see how our groups compare. Yours with scope, mine with stock irons.

What's up with the tin-can range? We can bring stuff like siloettes or (duh) cans?

They just allow plastic bottles or cans up to a gallon size. You can fill them up with a water ther if you enjoy seeing the spray.

I've heard of Backwoods but have never been out there. What's the place like?

Its a real nice place $12.75 and no limit on time shoot all day if ya want to.
They have a nice pistol range and a really nice 50 and 100yd rifle range.

And there trap shooting is incredible.

Someone take pics of the "tin can range" for me please. I have been trying to convince our range to set up something like that but so far they resist based on the mess it will create. How do you set up the cans and bottles? best would be just setting them on the dirt bank.
