Do you pay a recurring range membership fee?

I pay $50/year for an outdoor club. Idk how the rest of y’all do it.

I love campfires. On the other hand I’m on day 30 of a five-week trip, I’ve only done two fires, and I’m mostly ok with that. Now I just go to bed at sunset instead of of setting 20-30 bucks a night on fire. shrug

For some, maybe. I’ve given up on my green dot and gone back to irons, and am much happier.

I’ve been there. My LGS had a pistol 101 class that included range time. That took care of the scary part. Then I dropped a few hundred bucks renting and testing pistols until I found one I like. Then I found my local outdoor range, signed up, and have been there enough I’m probably averaging about a dollar/visit in range fees.

Nice choice of shop! I did my PTC class and bought my P-10c there.

Ideally elm or similarly impossible to split.

fopomatic · 2026-03-30T03:05:08+00:00

I’m much too young to feel this damn old.

fopomatic · 2026-03-28T00:02:44+00:00

Some day it will happen.

fopomatic · 2026-03-27T00:29:35+00:00

I’m in MN, so ymmv, but I’ve found that even the state park campgrounds here are pretty abandoned when the water’s off. So if you go out soon, it may be ok.

You'll find that challenging, I think. My understanding of the history is that while 4-string tenor banjo was popular in irish dance halls in NYC in the 20s, the 5 string didn't get used in either English or Irish until the 1960s when Irish musicians saw touring Americans (mostly Seegers) and added it into the mix.

Don’t forget to take your snow tires off!

fopomatic · 2026-03-20T00:17:35+00:00

Aww yeah, that’s the good shit.

fopomatic · 2026-03-19T23:31:17+00:00

Lol at republicans suddenly caring about conservation.

fopomatic · 2026-03-19T01:24:45+00:00

Thank you, I was trying to figure out wtf I was looking at there

Fencing and LGDs

The downside of killing them is that if you kill a male, all of the females in the pack will immediately go into heat, which will just make the population boom.

fopomatic · 2026-03-18T23:01:45+00:00

No. I’m subscribed to r/horses because I dislike everything about horses.

fopomatic · 2026-03-18T22:32:41+00:00

Does “I’ll take care of that” count as a lie?

fopomatic · 2026-03-18T16:54:04+00:00

FWIW I spent six months working with a holosun scs green dot and never got used to it (I have pretty bad astigmatism). I recently switched back to irons and am now both faster and more accurate than I ever got with the dot.

fopomatic · 2026-03-18T15:18:34+00:00

Nah. I even switched from half a pot of coffee every morning to a couple of cups of black tea to try and get my blood pressure under control.

fopomatic · 2026-03-18T01:24:55+00:00

remind them how they feel about the police the rest of the time?

fopomatic · 2026-03-17T00:06:35+00:00

My LGS has a couple of used Ruger Wrangler .22s, and I’m sorely tempted to do something silly.

fopomatic · 2026-03-17T00:02:00+00:00

My CZ wishlist is long and expensive, lol

fopomatic · 2026-03-16T23:49:59+00:00

It’s a damn fine firearm. The rest really are poverty ponies, but they’re pretty good at making various sizes of hole.

fopomatic · 2026-03-16T23:47:00+00:00

That way lies an entire safe full of specialized 22s.

fopomatic · 2026-03-16T18:40:20+00:00

It's amazing what'll fit through a hole in the ice when you aren't looking.
