H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Baring unusual circumstances, I don't like to go much over an hour. Two hours is normally an upper limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 20 years older after starting CAS, 2 hours is my limit, one way, at least most of the time. I need my nap after shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Holy Cow! Some shooters sure have some long drive times to get to a monthly. With the clubs I haunt the most, Two Rivers Posse is 15 minutes away and Coyote Valley Cowboys is 1 hr 25 minutes away. In fact Im suppose to be there right now but I couldn't get out of bed DAMMIT... We must shoot together sometimes. Both two rivers posse and coyote valley are about one hour from me. Richmond is about 30 minutes, which I'm planning to go to tomorrow for the end of the year shoot. I just hope it doesn't rain too hard. You should come since you missed cvc today (as did I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attica Jack #23953 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 About an hour and a half to the farthest shoot. Lucky for me, we have several club matches a lot closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm 3 1/2 from Paradise Pass, 2 1/2 from Westside Renegades and 25 minutes or so from Pineridge Regulators. I get to sleep in when I go to Westside, they are on Central time and I'm on Eastern. Dang work gets in the way and it's tough to make it to Paradise Pass every month now. I always regret it Sunday when I didn't make the trip though! Going to Westside or Paradise Pass is just like going to one of the bigger matches all in one day! I feel fortunate to participate every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My home club requires a 7 1/2 mile drive, takes about 10 min, to drive to my other club is about 2 hours and twenty min.drive... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Red Ryder Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Between 2 1/2 hours to 7 hours. The longuest is also the most expensive with the motorway fees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Southpaw Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have 2 clubs less than 45 min away and one 1.5 hours away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Red Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 One and a half hours each way to my home club's monthly, and that's just about my limit. Like Driftwood, I have trouble staying alert and awake anymore. If I'm feeling in good shape one of these days, I just might make the two hour drive and shoot with the fine folks at the Wartrace Regulators.

Warden Callaway Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The range we started at was a full 2 hours away. The club moved to a new location that put it about 20 minutes away. The next two closest ranges are a full 2 hours without stops or delays. We put in a lot of before and after work at home range so our "door to door" time is about the same.

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Cowtown 16 miles, Ben Avery 21 miles, Verde Valley 1 1/2 hrs, Wilhoit Prescott 1 1/2 hrs, Rio Salado 1hr. Most others is about 3 hrs give or take. At Cowtown we shoot there twice a month 1st Sunday and 3rd Saturday. Not too bad at all and well worth it at the end.

Red Rider Rudy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm lucky our club shoots shoots Wild bunch first sunday, Cowboy second sunday, and a 22 match on the third sunday. Only 20 min. away. We are now shooting cowboy second saturday, because of one of the other clubs range is closed. And we do what we call Indiana Jones Shoot about 3-4 times a year. We use our cowboy range, but you can shoot any guns as long as you shoot lead. We also have other clubs 45 Min. to 2 Hrs away. So life is Good here!

Roger Rapid Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 We're pretty lucky here in California's Central Coast area with a few ranges close at hand. I drive 20 minutes to the CVR range, 35 minutes to the PRVC Range, and 2 hrs to 5 Dogs. ..RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Bandit Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I shoot at least 4 weeks or more a month at 4 different clubs about a 1 hour drive each way to all of em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Takes me longer to load the truck than to drive to the nearest range... but... there's no competition, camaraderie, crowds, sign up or fees, limited target selection & no props... So, if I want all that stuff, it's: 101.4 miles to LSFSC & CVV, 44.8 miles to TX TenHorns, 127.8 miles to the Bar-3, & 115.8 to Fort Parker Some drive farther, some drive less... Always fun and worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 All the way from my house! Closest is about 1:15 Another about 2:15 Occasionally 3 hours My biggest problem is I have to square some things away for work every morning. Takes an hour or so, and I have to use a computer. Sometimes get up at 0400 to make my reports before heading out to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
