I was thinking about heading up to Blue Trail to break in a rifle. Its open weekdays all year round, and they will let you clean your rifle on the range. . Is anyone familiar with the place? Is it a good place to shoot? Would love to hear what people think..

Thanks
Mike

Go to Blue Mountain in Westchester and clean your guns at home.

Blue Mountain is closed now during the week until late march. And trying to break in a barrel (shoot / clean for the first 5, etc) would make for alot of driving if i cleaned it at home! :) I know, there may or may not be anything to "breaking in" a barrel but i wanted to try it to see for myself if it makes a difference.

Never been but I know a few people that have. You pay one fee (I think $30.00) and shoot the whole day. No time limit. Rifle goes out to 100 yards where I believe Wooster is only 50. If you make a day of it it's worth the trip.

Blue Trail or " the old Lyman range " Haven't been there in years. What a great place to shoot. Used to shoot in the Connecticut Big Bore League there. 200 yds. with pits. Good fun. There is/was 100 yd as well.

Shot at Wallingford many times in the past as well... Haven't been there in about 6 or 7 years. It has an on-site diner and gun shop that's pretty well stocked. Indoor pistol range as well. Friendly folks as I recall. We always had a great time there. I remember they had a military-style 200 yard (pull down) range with no ceasefires. Alotta fun. I heard some developer or lawyer was trying to shut them down (ala Ardsley).

If you are in Wallingford, check out Delta Arsenal. Great shop. They have a Glock specialty shop in the corner on the main floor too. Had them do a double under cut on my Glock trigger guard which is sweet, made a huge difference for me, grip higher up othe bore. Great guys. I shot the Friday night plate rack head to head matches and it was a blast! Triple plate rack with large roundplate in front, small square plate behind it and smaller triangle behind that, all 6 across, and shooting head to head, double elimination. Gotta love falling steel.
