I love having my own range, just a few steps from my back door. Amen.

We had a guy on the club doing some dozer work over the summer and had him push up a 200 yard range at a reclaimed strip mine, best $375 we ever spent.
Finally deported myself from the peoples republik of Kaliforkistan.

Didn’t you say your hunting lease was 18 minutes from your house. Why not just go sight in at your hunting land? I had 3 different rifles to sight in and had to do it the Saturday before season, which just happens to be youth weekend, and we had kids hunting. Kinda felt like it would've been a douche move to be out there recreating the Battle of Fallujah while folks were trying to get their kids a deer.

At least you didn't run across any mud puddles. 😀 Just kidding. With the tires I have on my truck right now I have to be concerned with them also.

I go to the range at least a month or two before gun season opens "Styx River" Baldwin county,,,, even then it's got the shooters crowd done over run the place any time of year.... I find the WMA off highway 59 in Stockton. wide open nearly every time I go there,,, have to shoot through those steel pipes at 100yds. also have to have your hunting license or fishing license with you.

How much does it cost to go to the cahaba gun range? Do I need to bring my own target stands? Just moved out to alabaster and wanted to try the range tomorrow- hoping to avoid the crowds. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
Trey It's free. You must have a hunting license or wildlife heritage license. The have target stands in place.

I'll never forget the one year I waited until truly the last minute. I think it was Sunday of opening weekend and I show up at daybreak at the shooting range, someone had already beat me there. This ole boy was decked out in full camo already, face mask and everything, all by himself at the shooting range. His pants werent pulled quite high enough so half his butt was hanging out. I think he thought that maybe a deer would come running out in front of him on the range so he had to get ready just in case. I watched this guy miss a good size piece of plywood at 100 yards with nearly an entire box of shells. I finally ask if he needs some help and he told me he had just bought the rifle and it was "bore sighted" so it should be close to on. I told him he ought to get on paper at 40 or 50 or closer and then try at 100. He finally ran out of shells and was going back to academy to get another box before he hit the woods, still not on target at 100.
I think about that guy a lot whenever I hunt public. Wear your orange. Wow

After swapping some scopes around, I had 3 rifles that needed sighting in prior to season. I knew I screwed up waiting until this weekend to do it, but didn't have a choice for various reasons.
I knew the public range would be a dumpster fire the Sat before gun season, but Ho-Lee-Chit I wasn't prepared for what awaited me. I thought getting there early would help, but that place was a zoo by 9am.
Gomer, 9 AM ain't early at the gun range... I was there well before then, but was far from finished I dare you to go back out there this Friday at about 4:30! Double dog dare. 
GO NOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m off and I may head up to Skyline Friday afternoon and just sit on the tailgate and watch, anybody got some body armor I can borrow.
