Hope it isn't large enough to damage vehicles or RV's. :shock:

Probably no damage, but the banks are dark and the targets muddy. Its Raton.

Thanks for the photos Brent. It looks like a real interesting place. Definitely on my bucket list.

Mike, put this on the top of your bucket list, because it may not last long.

Of all the things to screw up, I did not get a picture of of the score boards.sorry about that, but the post rain weather was great.

I believe Ted Snakehips is in first and Bryan Youngberg is in second. I have no idea of what their scores are.

Al counted 23 target setters this morning. Almost 1 setter for every 2 shooters. Needless to say, targets get set fast.

Another perfect morning. Lots of rams have died so far, but I won't get to them until late this afternoon. Did get 6 chickens this morning which is what I would like to believe my average is (it's not).

I'll try to get some more pics up in a while. But just envision another perfect morning in Shooting Paradise and you've got it.

Pictures at last

My muzzle at the end of the day. This is normal by the way.

A local visitor who did not respect the firing line rules.

The NRA sent their finest (Aaron) to run him off - my apologies for the poorly framed picture.

This proved to be unsuccessful - there may be other video... but eventually, he quit the range, and we continue.

Jack Odor, can you tell us what these are?

I think the predator is a Robber fly, but I'm guessing.
