Anyone up for shooting at Winchester Gallery on Saturday?

#1

Post by joe817 »

Saturday, Feb. 6 starting around 1pm.

I have a narrow window of opportunity, and will be there. Everyone in the area invited to attend.

Place: The Shooting Gallery located behind Winchester Gallery
6062-A E. Lancaster
Ft.Worth, TX 76112

It's located in the southwest corner of E. Lancaster & Loop 820 east. The ranges are located behind the chain link fence.
Cost: $15.00 per range session. No time limit. No limit of number of guns you take. NO steel cased ammo allowed(they check).
Cost for Sr. Citizens(age 60 & up): $7.50 :mrgreen:

This is the first time I've been able to shoot since November & I'm really looking forward to it. You can park behind the chain link fence. That's where I'm parking.

Look forward to meeting you folks!

I have a really busy day Saturday, but if my schedule budges a little I can be there. I'm still in the trying out stage so I need to rent one there.

That'd be great if you could make it! They have a wide variety of guns to rent. Gosh, maybe 50 or 60 of them! Hope you can make it.

I think they sell the cases to a scrap dealer, and it's to hard to separate the few steel cases from the thousands of brass cases they accumulate over a weeks or months time. Can you imagine trying to separate 100 steel cases from 100,000 brass cases in 55 gallon drums? :shock: "rlol"

So they wont let you shoot cheap ammo because it would be inconvenient for them to pick it out as they sell your Shells? I dont like that

Will do gtrman66! :thumbs2:

I met mikeintexas & surprise_i'm_armed there at 1pm today. They sent us to the 12 lane building and shared a lane. We all took turns shooting each others pistols.

I had the most fun I've had in 6 months! So much fun shooting with new found friends. I shot a box of ammo; Mike shot up a little more than a box, and SIA about 2. We'd stop and talk about 10-15 minutes between re-loads.

I'm just sorry I didn't have more time to spend with them. I think they wandered over to the gun store. I had to leave at 3pm.

SIA & Mike, thanks so much! That was a really fun time and very much look forward to our next outing! :tiphat:

When is forum day?

I met some church buds for breakfast at IHOP at 6:30, drove to Hurst to inspect a Harley for a guy in Galveston as a favor, rode to Cabelas ($20 Kershaw knife is sold out), Rode back to Arlinton and helped with the stage contruction at Theater Arlington for 3 hours, got home at 1:30, took a nap, went to BWW for wings and 3 games of Trivia (I won all 3!!!) went shopping with the wife at Kroger and now I am pretty much ready to crash.

Please keep me in mind for round #2!

Sorry I couldn't make it on Saturday. My dad was in town and staying with us for the weekend and my wife and I found out that we are expecting a new future CHL holder in about 9 months. So I felt that I needed to do the family thing on Saturday. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one, and make Forum Day, whenever it is.

It was nice to put faces with names! I enjoyed meeting Joe and SIA and the Winchester Gallery is a great range. Like SIA said before leaving, maybe we can get together at DFW Range in Dallas next time.

It was a lot of fun send a few rounds downrange! :txflag:
