I drive 1.5 hours each way every week to shoot 100 to 150 targets and 2 hours one way once a month (+-) to shoot with the good Dr Parker and Big Victor.

Randy has the same issue. He has at least one hour to the closest club. Might be 1.5 hours. I'm sure he'll chime in eventually.

I think my drive to Hopkins on Thursday is about 3 1/2 hours and I’ll turn it the same day as I don’t plan on staying over night . Think my drive to Sanford is almost five hours , to Koneski’s for me is six hours and to Hemingway for me is 8 hours if memory serves .

A few of us were going to Rhode Island every week, to either Peacedale or Adddieville. 3 hours of driving for an hour and half shooting. Since I discovered PITASC (FITASC for those who don't consider it a PITA) at The Hartford Gun Club, my total commuting time is now 8 minutes. I think I still have a half tank of gas in my car from early August.

What are you talking about??? It is an 11 hr drive for you.

When we lived in Minford Ohio. (Southern Ohio), I seem to recall that driving back to plymouth massachusetts was around 3 hrs or so. I could be wrong at my advanced age.
