Long time member Craig Reynolds,My son Danny and I celebrated Presidents Day by burning some powder at Dover Furnace Sporting Grounds in Dover Plains ,NY I have been wanting to shoot this facility for a good long while and today was the day. This facility is first class all the way and on par with Addieville,Sandanonna or Pintail Point. Very challenging targets with a coded key operation. A great day!
1)Entrance

2) PGCA member Craig Reynolds

3)Shooting Station..The targets run up the hill about 2 feet of the ground..Good fun!

I often wondered how Dave Suponski learned so much about Parkers. Now I know. He hangs out with Craig Reynolds.

Way to go OP. Glad you had a good time and good weather. By the way, you don't work for the Feds so how did you get off today? Where are the pics of my boy Danny?

Dean Romig · 02-20-2012, 10:09 PM

Dave is self-employed... you wouldn't believe how many holidays he proclaims... oh, and the afternoons off to go shooting (makes me nauseous)

Hey!! Danny's MY boy!!

Yeah, but look at it this way Dean. If he's not working, Obama and the rest of the political bandits get no tax receipts for the day. If you are on a company payroll you are probably being paid for the day and so you'll pay taxes for the day. Dave is a financial wizard.

Autumn Daze · 02-21-2012, 09:40 AM

Daryl, I like the way you think....So you are saying I should shoot more and work less? I like that school of thought...

See Dean now thats what I call a solid train of thought....

Charlie, I would guess the furnace smelted iron ore. Fred.
