Where at?

If the raider reference is correct then Puuloa Rifle Range, Ewa Beach, Oahu

[CINDERS]

Thats a long firing line!

[Ovidio]

Long line, fairly long hair;-)

Long lines...I observed a pistol range in Ft Lewis that had 105 firing points...imagine a range day of several relays? These guys look like army.

I wonder if its Camp Croft, Spartanburg SC. If it is, the water tower in the back view is in Mr. Smith's front yard.
Went out searching for it last year and found one of the firing points. Three hundred points if I remember correctly.
Talked to the above mentioned Mr. Smith and his son, boy, did they have some stories to tell about the Camp.

Those are some ranges you guys have in your forts...but I guess when the machine is turning out thousands to crush oppression of the world, the machine needs to be monstrous.

Correct!
