I shot in Lake George (Queensbury), up near Syracuse (Camillus Gun Club), Burlington Flats out past Cooperstown. Lived in Johnstown. And yes it was quite a while ago.jimlongley wrote:That had to be way pre-9/11, the rules changed a good while back and guns are no longer identified on the outside of the bag.striker55 wrote:Years ago I travelled from Albany NY to Orlando Fl, I was shooting metallic silhouettes at the time. Family vacation to FL and thought why not shoot while I was there. Anyway Albany checks my guns, 3 monster handguns, all packed in shooting suitcase carrier. They put bright orange tape, firearms enclosed on it. That made me nervous, thieves look here is what it should say. Get to Orlando get family luggage and no guns. Found out they had to be picked up at the office, no problem. Going home (won one trophy) Orlando checks and puts orange tape. When I get to Albany, expecting to go to the office for the guns, here it comes right down the ramp with all the other luggage. A little nerve racking but got home safe and sound.
Where did you shoot near Albany? I was a long time member of Watervliet F&G and Bethlehem, lived in Slingerlands, Albany, and Glenmont, and a close friend's father donated the land that the New Baltimore range is on.
