    Relaxed and safe outdoor range. Mr Jimmy and Mike. Mike ran the Tallow Creek range for 15 years he told me. Max range is 100 yards as it is. Separate pistol range, max 30 yards. $10 an hour.

    They are fixing to offer a 600 yard range, just up the road a bit from the existing facilities. Mike said it would be most likely $20 an hour at the 600 yard range, as the need to have a second RO there, and the low volume of shooters for the 600 yard. Said the 600 range would be functional in a week or 2.

    They do offer an annual membership and zero cost per visit.

    They have a Facebook page if ya looking for details or contact #. Only closed on Mondays.

    I was there when they first opened. Its not a classy place, but serves its intended purpose. It is safe and they do keep an eye on all the shooters. And its only 10 minutes from my house. Its a win win for me

    Oh yeah, there are fancier ranges for sure, but i def won't be driving the 90 mile round trip to Nick's much any more. I hope Bedico range prospers.

    I'll gladly pay $20 to enjoy the 600 yd range. Not having to drive from Denham to mcta would be nice . Only place close to have an enjoyable day shooting right now.

    Ole Zeal and I Was there this morning. I called the range yesterday and told them the distance we wanted the targets at. We got there a few minutes before 9. They were setting out targets for us. Had 2 shoot n see targets at 100 and 2 at 300. Played around a bit and started shooting steel with my 308. 100 yard steel was easy. 300 yard was pretty easy. I had no chance at 500. Zeal could consistantly ring the 16 inch plate at 500 with my rifle. Yeah, he out shot me with my own rifle. So I picked up my toys and went home. 20 bucks an hour to shoot 500 yards? Yeah. I'll deal with a pothole or 2 in the gravel road.

    Come on man, that road isn't nothing for a pickup truck. I left the range one day in a driving rain storm. So I take it you won't be making any wagers with Z at the range?
    Me neither.

    No.... no wagers... I'm done. Got so mad I told him he could have the dang rifle for 2k

    You're not giving up that easy are you? What is this, a custom bolt action? We need a pic.

    You should know Z has magical powers with an accurate rifle. And dat's the truth.
