Ft Lee Range
Posted: Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:56:57
Hello all, first post here. Spent lot of time on my last deployment visiting the site so thanks for keeping me entertained. Anyway, onto the topic. One of the post I read was about Ft Lee needing people to use the POW range. I traveled up to a friends place this past weekend and we went out and got some range time.
Have to say, a nice little place. Was expecting the "big Army" mentality and there wasent any. RSO's were great, pace was good, weather was perfect. I brought a new Kimber I needed to put some rounds through along with some other weapons. I noticed some of the shooters around us had some weapons I wanted to shoot so I happily let them try some of mine in exchange. I admit there were some range violations, a guy to the left of me flagged us with his weapon while trying to clear a malfunction. Then a guy walked forward of the firing line to collect brass which promted me to call a cease fire for the people near us. Gave him a quick safety rule lesson and carried on. Other than that, it went better than I was expecting and will be going back when I'm in the area. Hopefully the center fire section will be open by this summer according to the RSO's.
