Good! It was PITA in the middle of the afternoon..definitely an area to avoid if you can.
Came up through Kersey and ran into no issues at all, other than the rain that blew through right around 2:30-3:00 pm.

The shade structure has been completed and the range is open as of today.
Can you use a wood target stand as long at it doesn't have a wood backing? The lady at the Pawnee office didn't have a clue.
Here are the rules, I would say yes but I am not a FS employee/ranger.

Headed out tomorrow morning hoping to be there by 8am. Looking forward to marking up a new target from Austin. I have the forums bumper sticker on my truck.
Anyone have any pics of the new improvements at Baker Draw? Just curious what they did.
Looks nice! Thanks for posting those up.
The new shade structures look nice. About 18cars when I went by today at 1130am. 100 yard berm was busy with hunting rifles.
If that public range is anything like our private ranges. The hunters usually shoot 3-10 rounds tops, per gun. Then leave. That's after asking, if anyone here reloads and would like this brass? ;)Quote:

Shot this morning. Didn't plan on driving way the hell up there but my closer spot is closed now I guess. Got to Baker about 7:30 , only 2 shooters. Had the 50yd range to ourselves till almost 9, then the place filled up. 100yd was mostly hunters like kazoo said. Had a good time glad we went instead of just coming home. Wish they had a shotgun range. But overall thumbs up.
Pretty funny how some fucktards park in that lot. God forbid they have to walk 20yds to go through the gate.
I went out to Baker this morning with my daughter. The improvements are nice and well constructed, the place was pretty clean and we only took a little extra out with us. We ran some various brands of ammo through her SR22 and it likes (of course) CCI MiniMags. I ran various brands of Freedom remanufactured and some factory ammo with 115 gr and 124 gr range and self defense types through my High Power and got it sighted in at 7 to eight paces. All of the ammo was within an inch of point of aim and I am confident that I can hit what and where I need to out to 50 yards.
It was a beautiful morning with few people, all were friendly and well behaved. We left a donation in the box with compliments and thanks for the range.
