It must have been great just to be able to go out like that and shoot. I have never had that opportunity, always had to go to an indoor range. Luckily for me I now live right around the corner from a range/gunshop. I do all of my shooting there, and have bought many guns from them. They know me there pretty well as I'm in there all the time, shooting, buying something, or just looking around. They usually give me a discount on the guns or knives I buy there, so I don't mind supporting them even over Internet purchases most of the time.
