I think it’s Texas but that sort of information is on the down low.

Pshaw, we’ve shot worse than that.. Tannerite free-for-all.

Could be tracers though, hadn’t thought of that.

But what is there downrange to set on fire?

It’s the structure. Sounds like the main building.

Well now that's just racist as hell.

Nothing indicates Godzilla being anywhere near there and Godzilla is clearly Japanese.

Next you'll be clamoring for all Japanese Radioactive Dinosaurs to be herded into interment camps.

Can't we all get along?

The building “burt-down” so I thought they probably have an indoor range. I think they do, since they seem to have CHL classes there.

No idea where Tarrant County is. A lot of FReepers just put the state’s postal abbreviation in parentheses after the title.

Back in 1968, in the USAF, we went to the firing range with M1 carbines and tracer ammo. Had a great time watching the bullets fly down range till the grass was set on fire. We continued to shoot till our 50 rounds were expended, by then the fire had burned itself out.
