Texas Gun Shows this weekend
Ammo availability seems to be slowly coming back. The last gun show I went to actually had .380 ammo which was telling. Russian ammo has slowly been dropping back to pre-Obama administration prices, too. We’ve been seeing a lot of people switch to the 5.45×39 uppers from Smith & Wesson and I got to see a few of them last weekend. The caliber is so close to the American 5.56 round that you gotta read the barrels to know what the calibers are. Later next month I hope to be at a show in the Dallas Fort Worth area to see more Texas Gun Shows.
Check in on our forum month to see the Texas Gun Show dates we have compiled. If you know of any gun shows that are not listed please let us know. We are also running an Eotac apparel giveaway from RogueElite and this is open to members of TheRallyPoint.org. Please tell us if there is info that is missing or invalid with our Texas gun club listings, too. We’ve been hearing from a lot of our membership about gun club listings from other websites missing info and we’ve built the website forum so that members can post the info and we can update asap.
Ammo prices seem to be coming down just like the economy is going down so now might be a better time to consider going out and scoping the place out for ammo. Ammo prices are still drastically different, but atleast the availability seems to be there. I notice the run on firearms has slowed now, probable since everyone knows that if you don’t already have enough, racking up more credit card debt just for rack queen isn’t rational. Let us know if you don’t see any shows being listed that are being promoted.
Langhorne rod and gun club is one of the best run gun clubs in Pennsyvlania. As of now there is no member cap although I wouldn’t be surprised that at some point there might be one. They have a well maintained rifle range that is called the Big Bore range. You can shoot any semi-auto up to but not including a 50bmg. There are several competitive shooting groups here from Action Pistol to the Practical Carbine group.
Everyone has there own particular styles of shooting and interestes. Some shooting ranges are specifically for hunting, some are for sporting clays or shooting trap, and some ranges are for long range target shooting. One of my favorite shooting ranges is a 100yd range. A good range will be designed for easy communication between shooters. It always bothers me when people get too anal about calling cease fires and target changes. If a range is setup right, a shooter should be able to setup their targets and not need to change them for hourse or atlease hundreds of rounds of ammo.
There are a great many reasons for gun owners to find a decent range that they know will accommodate their shooting interests. We tend to find the more restrictive ranges closer to urban environments, but you won’t know for sure depending on which State you a living in. Every State in the Country is different and trying to find out where to look is very difficult.
Pennyslvania is one of the largest gun owners States in the Country. It amazes most people to hear something like that because it’s not viewed as one of the most rugged places in the Country, but the reality is PA has the 2nd largest number of NRA members, 2nd Largest number of gun shows in the Country and it is home of some of the most Pro-Gun Blue Dog Democrats in the Country. The majority of Pennsylvanias political squabbles revolve around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Sometimes knowing what you’re load is isn’t enough to get you on paper and 600-1000yds. Paying attention to crosswinds and terrain will give you that extra improvement to avoid misses. Its not about just bullet drop at those distances, knowing when to pull the trigger and paying attention to your target is what makes you an expert.
Pennsylvania has seen its share of gun clubs being closed down and trying to find ranges beyond 100yds within the Philadelphia area is very difficult. There are still a few gun clubs with 200+ yard ranges in about 2hrs or less of Philadelphia and they are mostly private ranges. Check out our website for information about some of them and please feel free to add info to help others find out too.
We have compiled info from our membership over the years and hoping that eventually we will get enough input to keep our info up to date. While we realize that some glubs do not want to post all of there info, we feel that we can be a conduit for people atleast finding out how to find out where a range is.
