MichiganMilitia: I sent you back a pm but i guess I am too late. Hope ya found it ok.

RR, I found it alright, and it was very clean. Only a few hulls on the ground and a bunch of .22 cases. No trash. It cleared up a little right as I got there and I was able to do about half of my barrel break-in, but then it started pouring for the next 3 hours and I tried to shoot as much as I could, but I ended up soaked.Not a very fun day.
Michigan? You act like we didn't have a great time. I mean who cares that I'm still soaked to the core 10 hours after the fact.Originally Posted by MichiganMilitia

hahahahaha it WAS pretty awesome to shoot my new AR for the first time!
It just really sucked that it POURED the whole time. I wasn't able to even shoot a group on target because of the rain and I found out that my scope mount isn't high enough for my scope... that jerk lied to me. I finally stuck my HOLOsight on and shot a little, but I couldn't get it perfectly zeroed in. It was just raining too hard. I really wanted to shoot my .30-30 a little too, but the weather was just too foreboding. And yes. my clothes are STILL wet even though I hung them up.
Maybe next weekend...
It was too wet and windy at my house to even try to go yesterday.
Glad you had a good time.
I will try again next month.
Yeah, if it rains that hard the next time I try to go out, I'm going to buy a $60 pop-up tent from the Walmart in Woodland Park to keep me dry. The liftgate on the jeep just doesn't give enough cover.
Glad you had a good time and a little extra care in oiling and cleaning the weapons and it'll be all good. I have a shelter for such inclement weather as I try not to let much stand in the way of my marksmanship.
RR, (or anyone else)
What special precautions should I take after shooting in the rain or other particularly wet weather?
Trash at first site
Someone shot up a laptop and plastic water bottles and left it all at the first site (the one nearest 67). I don't expect that it was anyone here.
Just keep vigilant and keep policing the sites so they don't get trashy.
