I'd think dirt would still be the best backstop and probably the cheapest too. Why not try to figure out a way to plant shrubs or flowers around and on it somehow? Just my 2c.

I'm enjoying the story so far. I can't wait til you get up to Phoenix and Maricopa county. I'm one of those crazy, gun toting Arizonans that'll be fighting off the zombies. Don't forget Sherriff Joe Arpaio has his tanks and .50cal guns too. Maybe he could round up a chain gang in their...

On average I'd say about 10-15 minutes. I do a basic cleaning after each trip to the range, but every 2-3 times I do a more detailed cleaning that can take up to 30 min.

I don't think so.

Are you going to be checking in with them about camping there, or should I call ahead also? My wife and I get off work Friday at 4pm and should be able to leave by 5pm or shortly after. We live near the 51 and 101 in north Phoenix. Anyone want to drive together from there or meet up along...

You can only see them when you are logged in, so that is why you didn't see them before registering. Welcome to THR!

My wife and I have a tent camper. Is there room there to set this up where you guys are planning on camping? We have a 3 burner stove top inside and BBQ grill for outside.

Have black helicopters been hovering above? Noticed anyone following you? Seem like anyone is going through your trash? I know CA is bad, but I'd hope your purchases are not setting off alarms somewhere. Good luck!

The 3 stores in the Phoenix area have the same sign. I don't think they would even have a problem with open carry. They just require that it be unloaded and checked if you plan on unholstering/handling it for service/trade-in.

My guess would be a round cooking off in a chamber would fire, but the gun would malfunction/misfeed before loading the next round to fire. Most handguns rely on resistance by the shooter and won't quite cycle right without that. Ex. limpwristing.

+1 :) Pros: Many good gun shops in the state and even a good amount of decent gun shows per year. Many ranges to go shoot at and also a lot of open land to find a place to shoot also. In the last 2 years they have eliminated the CCW renewal and shortened the original class from 16 hours...

P3AT did that to me when new. About 1 in 10 shots fired would "bite" my finger. The trigger from the factory was fairly rough and had molding lines in the plastic on each side and the bottom. I took a 3/8" round chainsaw file and worked the bigger parts off very slowly until the whole thing...

I subscribed to this thread and have it penciled in on the calendar. Hard for me to plan a couple months out, but I'm interested in attending. I'd also be coming from Phoenix and would be looking for a place to camp.

The trees that you are seeing are called rubs. Deer and Elk will rub off the velvet from their antlers. The areas on the ground are called scrapes. They will "dig" a spot down to bare earth and mark it with their scent. Ok, just found this link that does a decent job of explaining what is...
