Hey Ya'll,

Finally got settled in Mcminnville TN. Just got internet hooked up today. Love it up here. Now I just got to find some smoke friendly ranges to go too. I'm about to die to burn some powder. And why yes I have broke out the smoke poles and fondled them regularly

Good to be back.

What was it prompted the move to TN?

deerslayer303 · December 11, 2012, 10:28 PM

Well we always vacationed in TN as much as possible. So we just took the plunge and headed west.

Welcome Back!

I hope you find someplace close to there that will let you burn powder.

It looks like you are less than 100 miles from Dixie Gun Works.

Oh yeah, you're right I haven't even thought of that. That will have to be a trip to take.

Welcome back! You'll have to be sure to give us a report on your field trip to Dixie when you take it! Seems like TN ought to be ripe and full of BP shooters!?

I sure will Billy, I just got off the phone with a super friendly Fella that runs Viola Shooting range, and its only 11 miles from the house. He told me I will be right at home out there, lots of sulphur in the air LOL. I'm super excited now. I will take the trip to Dixie after Christmas. I do not want to go in there right now the kids may not get that trampoline if I do

....of the McMinnville vicinity and it appears to be quite picturesque.

deerslayer303 · December 13, 2012, 11:12 PM

Oh its very pretty out this way. Love it out here. Sure beats sand land where I came from

One of the reasons I am so content out here in Wyoming.
Just about anyplace out in the county is shooting range.
I live in the county, I can walk out my back door and just pop a few.
Dug a pit in side of small hill. Piled the dirt up. Back stop has a total height of about 5'
Stacked some straw bales. Set target on ground in front and boom.
Keep the straw covered with a tarp while not shooting.
Just designed a target box, that should collect all the lead from my revolver.
Might have to go a little deeper for the rifle.
When you get to DGW, try not to buy them out. We want some too!
Have fun in your new home!
